Oh man

Just as I though maybe I’d get to enjoy a bit of the summer with some projects nearing an end and my time freeing up slightly I get struck with some sobering news. My company is going through a round of layoffs.

I feel terrible. I worry like crazy in these situations. Numbness swept over me yesterday and has yet to dissipate. I’m walking around like a zombie.

I’m almost sure I won’t get axed. One person was taken from my department on Monday and that may be it but how demoralizing is this? To feel like the grim reaper could sneak up behind you at any point and it’s supposed to last through September or something.

Uuugg, as I’m writing this our town inspector came to look at our deck and just informed us that the deck guys haven’t built it according to the architectural drawings and he won’t approve it. Then to top it off I just found out that they are trying to charge us an extra $1400 because they re-centered some boards (boards that already existed and maybe took them an extra hour to move).

I haven’t exercised in days. This is not good. I’m too emotionally fragile. How do I learn to toughen up where that’s concerned? I’m not worried about getting tough with the deck company, I will do that.
