just got out of a 90 minute meeting in the hottest conference room in the world I feel horrible!!

[dora-winifred]

Random old classmates having middle-school aged children just still a shock every time

[dora-winifred]

I fear I have no tolerance or skills for conflict

[dora-winifred]

Thank god I only went to the office for the morning because now I am having terrible abdominal pain!!!

wild to me that people (including medical professionals) still refer to the monoamine hypothesis when discussing depression and antidepressants

“depression is caused by an imbalance of these neurotransmitters in your brain, and anti-depressants fix that. no I don’t have direct evidence of that imbalance being the cause. no I can’t explain why these medications that change the balance very quickly still take weeks to have any effect. no I can’t explain why many patients do not benefit from these at all. no I can’t explain why meds that should make the balance worse do not cause depressive symptoms. you just gotta trust me.”

ugh my feet are still sore from i guess yesterday and the walks i went on today. i need better sneakers and to buy new sneakers more frequently i guess. and to figure out some PT exercises and also fuel more probably

[dora-winifred]

The internet told me to drink pear juice for my woes and all it does is give me a headache and make me feel slightly off

[dora-winifred]

Lying down for 9 hours then sleeping for 8 hours and I’m still weirdly overtired and my legs and hips are still sore….booo!!!!!

[dora-winifred]

Stood on concrete for 3 hours and my body is demolished!! And for some reason I can’t even nap I’m just lying down almost sickeningly tired and awake all afternoon

[dora-winifred]

I think my roommate or their girlfriend might be sick having a thrilling morning as an emetophobe

[dora-winifred]

When I’m king of america I’m removing Christmas as a public holiday

[dora-winifred]

fic that I’m reading as a WIP that normally updates Thursday at lunchtime still hasn’t updated ughhhhhhh

[dora-winifred]

I need to be taking actionable steps towards getting a new job like that should be my only focus but there’s sooooo much to complain about about my current job and I want to complain!!!!!

[dora-winifred]

And tragically my job has so many confidentiality requirements both justified and unjustified so I am limited also in this way re: complaining

I hate the way I talk at work, like I can’t say anything directly I am always saying things obliquely or with little jokey asides. I want to be a more serious communicator

[dora-winifred]

I have cousins who I grew up spending a lot of holidays with despite us living in MA and them living in NJ but now like my grandma died and my uncle died and we’re kind of on the wedding-and-funeral circuit with them. But one of them not-infrequently comes to Boston from NJ to party with her college friends who live in Southie and I’m kind of curious if we’ll ever get coffee or something. Like there’s no way she doesn’t know that I also live in Boston

One of my coworkers has a habit of just over talking. And just kind of talking around stuff and making stuff up instead of just like stopping or saying “not sure, we’ll add it to the list of questions and into it.” Like any question she HAS to respond. And I’m often listening to her say things confidently that are not substantiated! Or like maybe we have a suspicion but haven’t confirmed it yet. Stresses me out especially because I had a boss early in my career who would sense this nervous energy in 23 year old analysts and say “don’t guess. If you don’t know just email me the answer in a couple hours.” But like don’t put wrong information into his head just to have something to say that you think he wants to hear. So sometimes when she’s talking all I can hear is my old boss’s voice “don’t guess!”
