Crappity crap crap

[tarotgal]

Had a crappy day, which included breaking down in tears in front of my boss. Make that crappy summer. I really need a hug. And maybe a new job. And maybe the ability to feel some emotion other than depressed or stressed, even when I'm smiling and supposed to be happy.

I'm settling for soy mac & cheese and my first ever episode of Suits. Hope I like it! Engage!

{{{hugs}}} I'm really sorry to hear you're having a bad time. Hope you enjoy Suits! I've never seen it, but my sister's been obsessively watching it all week if that's any recommendation!

I'm sorry your workplace is so horrible that it makes you cry, and agree wholeheartedly that it might be time to seek a new environment. I'm on my way out of a workplace that, on the surface, should have been ideal for me. Instead, what I got was a verbally abusive boss (and a coworker who took it upon himself to act on behalf of verbally abusive boss), a nice supervisor who abruptly quit, citing the toxic workplace, and then another year and a half of feeling increasingly isolated, helpless and very very very depressed.

If it's possible, time your exit strategically. Line up recommendations, start searching for new jobs in your geographical and skills area, and perhaps even use any accumulated comp time to schedule some appointments with a psychologist to address the issue of "I am smiling on the outside but my feelings are flatlining." You're a good, smart person, and you deserve better than a toxic workplace that numbs your positive emotions and sends you to the bathroom to cry in a stall. (Not that I've been there, why do you ask? :P )

Yours in solidarity,

*hugs* I'll hug you in person when I see you this weekend. I'd say more but vatergrrl already said it all.
