Leaking a Little Crazy

Oh noisy neighbors, no fun having them. I wish I knew an answer to what you could do about them. It's also not nice having to fit in to a mold and be just like all others, not being able to nurture ones creative side. And that woman. I just don't understand how some people can get away with everything when others are not allowed anything. Too much of such people. Hope things will turn better for you and very soon.

I sympathize with picking up slack at work. It feels like that's all I've really done some days, while neglecting my own because somehow the managers think the other stuff is higher priority. What I don't get is that if they see these people are falling behind, why not do something about that instead of just pushing the work off on someone else. Noisy neighbors do stink...I'll be hoping they have to suddenly move very soon, some people are just maddeningly inconsiderate.

skald - I think the extra work dumped on me without her even asking me herself is the worst of it.

hege - the distribution of work here is laughable. I shouldn't complain because I do have a job, but ....

Uni. That is so unfair. She could ask you herself. I agree.

Hey, yoonie, I like your illogical side! Trying to fit into a logical, socially approved mold is exhausting and creates resentment.

mimi - yes! that's exactly what I'm talking about! I feel so crazy when I try and tired after a while.

are you frustrated? leak some more crazy, otherwise you might explode.

Being abused at work is always difficult to deal with, you don't want to sound whinny but you also need to make it known that you are not the rubbish tip of the office for everyone elses shortfalls. (I speak from great experience here)

There is also the creative? frustrated.... I reckon you need a good dose of weirdness to balance it all out. Along with a big girly hug.

Lu - I guess I am just frustrated. I'm feeling used and misunderstood which is a deadly combination as I am also in PMS week! I'd say leaking crazy is about the nicest outcome here.

Absolutely, don't forget good coffee, perhaps a wine or two, chocolate and evil eye!

People don't know what you think, know or need (or in your case) don't need unless you tell them. Never lose that creative side of you.. just don't wait until it all explodes. good luck~

quiet - at work I think holding my tongue is the best way. No one likes a whiner. At home it's pointless to complain. I am working on telling people who I feel closest to that I need more "creative/illogical" room and less sensible/logical. I'm hoping to hang onto it all and hopefully avoid a complete melt down.

It seems no matter how hard you work, your bosses expect something more.

That creative side is a beautiful thing to hold onto, it keeps you sane thoughout all of life's b.s.

freedom - yes, the work load never decreases and the acknowledgement never increases :( I think if I didn't have the creative side to balance me out I'd have gone more insane by now.
