Getting Through The Tunnel

Evening,

Quick post this evening - have had a bad day today to be honest - perhaps it's to be expected. I have had quite a good run in recent weeks without feeling down and fed up.

It is too much to expect probably for me to be constantly smiling and looking like I am on permanent Duracell batteries - but it would be good that I have a good reason to be down instead of just being down for the sake of being down.

Off to bed,

Night, Night.

Questioning Yourself...

Afternoon,

Do you wonder whether the best time yo answer questions to yourself, regarding your life, future and past is when you're recovering from a heavy night?

Last few times the following day after a heavy night - I have had an hour or so when I have had time to myself to think about the previous few days and to try to plan out some form of plan of action to work towards in the coming days and weeks - whether that is from a professional point of view or personally.

I do think that it could be beneficial to use one's vulnerablilty that we have after a night on the sauce - it allows you to be so far more critical of yourself as none of your nervous defensives are up in the aftermath of a piss-up.

Critical Friends...

Afternoon,

On my way to meeting a friend for lunch - and am wondering whether or not the best friends are those who will say what they think regardless of whether or not you would agree or not with it.

Had what turned out to be a friendship ending conversation with someone on Facebook this past week - and the crux of the argument was that she was not happy about the fact that myself amongst others did not stand up for her regarding criticism from other members of our team whilst she was unwell prior to her birth of her first baby.

Now, i know full well what is bullying and what isn't. She gathered from a disaffected former employee of where we all work that she had been bad-mouthed about, was tantamount to bullying.

It wasn't. It was people voicing their opinion.

I told her to grow a pair.

She didn't like that and has now removed me from her friends list on Facebook.

Cheers, thanks for reminding me that my friends list is in need of a mass cull.
