Some of it is stuff that can't be shared with anyone else as it's between me and the people who have unburdened themselves. That is very difficult to deal with, particularly when yet another person dumps on me and I want to scream about what I'm already dealing with, but can't go into detail. I have had to put on a happy face of Oscar winning proportions more than once. Add in the new health issues of the last 4 months and it's been tough going!<br />Work and uni regularly had my crapometer close to spontaneous combustion!Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729719876504930455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-24049713636828429772016-02-19T13:44:42.012-06:002016-02-19T13:44:42.012-06:00It's great when you have good colleagues to bo...It's great when you have good colleagues to bounce things off. I'd love to work more from home, but I might miss some of the interactions. We do a lot of webinar based training since the state is about 8 hours drive form top to bottom. Often people forget they havne't muted themselves when we take the trainer mute off to open up for questions. It is sometimes interesting what you hear.

I'll probably login in again about 3:00 or so and make sure nothing new developed, but we have it at a simmer for now.

Suddenly ...I've got one of those meters too... Suddenly all the problems I've been working on at work pile up and everyone needs it all done at once. VERY frustrating. But then we have a staff conference call (everyone works from home) and everyone gets a chance to talk about various issues. Usually someone else has dealt with the same issues on my plate and after those meetings things seem so much lighter. amazing.<br /><br />Also at my last place of work, it was a Friday afternoon and almost everyone was talking and laughing out in the hall. One woman was on the phone however and very stressed. She put them on hold and screamed at us all to "WILL YOU PEOPLE SHUT THE HELL UP?!" At least I think she put them on hold... :) So sometimes screaming helps.<br />McValhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00285808958951068897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-7995287557917267862016-02-19T10:13:40.771-06:002016-02-19T10:13:40.771-06:00It's good your tolerance levels are high enoug...It's good your tolerance levels are high enough to cope with going into work on your day off Sam but just make sure you look after you as it's easy to get to overload point without realising it.
