mood to burn bridges

[sasha_feather]

This has been one of the more stressful few weeks of my life.

I am pretty sick. All-over achy and tired. I took two days off of work (yesterday and today) but not sure how much it helped. I'm afraid that I am under-performing at work at that shit is gonna hit the fan. Well, it won't be the first time that has happened I suppose. Being chronically ill and trying to work and survive on your own is something that there is not a lot of room or support for in society. Right now I am really longing for a different way to live.

This week on the WisCon ConCom list I got really angry, fought with people I respect, and well, made myself sick I guess.

Possibly I am not eating enough protein.

Thank you to everyone who has been supporting me in various ways. Thanks also to everyone who writes about things like:
Tone argument
Gas lighting
Microaggressions
Man-splaining
Concern Trolling
Derailment
White woman's tears
Boundaries
Victim blaming
etc
...
because I've been listening and learning.

I'm sorry you're having a lousy week.

Your work on Wiscon this week has been amazing.

We all have good days and bad days at our paid professional work. The research milieu that we are in can be really stressful. Taking days off is the responsible thing to do, so you can go back and do a good job.

Thank you! :)

Lots of love and good thoughts to you.

You wanna know something? I ended up taking the day off from work, and I don't even have a serious chronic illness right now. I was supposed to take a half day. We went to a doctor's appointment at 11am, and it took so long that I wouldn't have been able to get back to the office until 2pm. So we blew off the rest of the work day. It's not just you who takes time off.
