Blind(ed) date
I've had my issues with my soon-to-be-former job. I've had days and weeks and months that I've fought my way through minute by stifling minute. I've been powerless to cope with the blinding unhappiness of the situation I found myself in. I've wrestled overpowering feelings of oh-my-God-I'd rather-be-in-Botswana-getting-my-hands-chopped-of-by-religious-zealots-than-typeset-another-stupid-fucking-business-card. Thankfully those times are behind me. And thankfully I was surrounded by genuine and forgiving people. People who didn't hold it against me if I was stressed and I snapped at them. People who tried to give me a laugh when they could and left me alone when I needed to stew in my own bitter juices. People who made me feel welcome.
Right now, this very second, I work with the best people. By six o'clock today that will no longer be true. It's sad to think I might not enjoy that sort of homey feeling anywhere else I'll go. It's sad to think I didn't take better advantage of the potential connections I could have made with these guys. But I love these guys for who they are and the time we've had. I'm going to miss them and how comfortable they made me feel even though I can be a pill sometimes.
So, thanks.

Wait a minute! You're saying she poked her eyes out because she's too stupid to realize that--geez. Cheap shot. Boooo Hisssss. Mrs. L

I guess I think the pokeyoureyeoutwithapencil thing is something a guy would do. I mean don't guys shoot themselves in the feet to get out of the army? So eyepokes are not a girl thing in my world. Unless her blind date really was blind. Then she might poke her eyes out in a show of empathy. That's a girl thing.

YOU? Be a pill sometimes? Your calm, reasonable, serene self can cause issues? LMAO! Good luck in the new job.
