And this is how we all fall down

Written on August 5, 2008 at 8:23 pm |

For those who have noticed my twittering on the side, I had a little… episode. I am hesitant to call it a mental breakdown, but it was a breakdown of sorts. It’s been an incredibly long day but I appreciate everyone who has sent me any sort of message with their hopes that I’m feeling better now. Work got a little stressful today, but that wasn’t the reason. I had people tiptoeing around me at work like they were walking on eggshells. Somehow my mom didn’t find out about it, I did ask people not to tell her and surprisingly they didn’t. I also got to try out the cot in the first aid/storage room and it was most definitely not comfortable at all. I ended up sitting on it rather than lying down because I could feel the metal bars through the thin mattress. People that were there for it were overly concerned and I appreciated it. But other than that… today was business as usual in the plastics factory. Clay noticed that there was something wrong with me the moment that he saw me today. I didn’t tell him (I haven’t told anyone). He just asked what was wrong and gave me a hug for a while before he got paged to go work. Everyone’s getting all concerned and then they get a little taken back when I say that I can’t tell them. I mean, I can, I am physically capable of telling people. I just… can’t. All at the same time. It’s a long story, please don’t ask me to share. I wasn’t even going to write about it (or rather, reference to it vaguely) except I remembered belatedly that my Twitter feed went onto my side menu so… yeah. Here it is. The reason why I broke down into tears today, without really explaining why I broke down into tears today.

And in happier news… inter-company mingling party time tomorrow! from 11:30-1:30, both buildings are going to stop work (they’re both factories) for two hours in order to allow everyone to get together and get to know one another. I, for one, am excited. I know that the CEO’s going to be the one donning the apron and he was the one doing the bbq the first year I worked there, so I know he’s not half-bad at doing it. Plus, the building is supposed to be really nice too. Can’t wait to see!

@ Shen, my first choice is a Bachelor of Nursing, I’m currently planning on specializing in pediatrics or surgery and I want to work as a RN.
