I have been stressed to the max. The undeniable sense of weight on my shoulders has overwhelmed me, to the point of insanity.
98% of the time, stress is something that I can handle. I bear down upon whatever is pressuring me, and through dogged dedication and fortitude I trudge through it. I relax, relate, and release. There are times, when the stress is so formidable, there's not a thing I can do except just freak out.
And I completely freaked out. For about a two week span I snapped, I did the whole, if you look at me funny, I will smack you with verbal rage. Work does that to you.

Yes, that's me in a suit. The end result of the stress of the past two weeks was I had to go put on a freakin' suit and act like I was having a grand old time at a fundraiser. Every fundraiser I've been to, I have hated with the passion of a thousand suns. They are a test of my patience.
But damn, I look good in a suit. I never wear them, I avoid ties and jackets as much as I can. But when I get the urge or the orders to dress it up. I dress it up.
TA-DOW. Okay, so I'm pretending to have a moment of undeniable egotism.
So the event was nice, I got a plaque. I had wine. I ate food. I took many pictures.
The torture however was the events leading up to it, I had to make a journal for this fundraiser, and I didn't get most of the information I needed to complete it until Friday of last week. So virtually that weekend was spent at this desk, in this office, trying to complete it. What an absolute physical and mental drain that was. I had a flashback to being in college and pulling an all-nighter.
I'm too old for all-nighters. No really I am.
This past Saturday, the programme for the event was finally completed. However we had a disaster with our copier, so I ended up having to spend my saturday night in a Kinko's trying to get this sucker done. Luckily as the place was closing I got enough copies of the programme made to not get yelled at.
The highlight of the evening though, was all the compliments I got for wearing the suit. I never wear ties, I never wear suits, I cannot stand them at all. I avoid them as much as possible.
I do think the compliments were because I never wear a suit, and the shock of it scared people into complimenting me. All the better, I say.
So there I am, in a suit. In the $100.00 tie. Suave am I.
