All week I've felt lousy, miserable and pissed off at everybody for no real reason. Is it just me, or is it the time of the year or something?
I get up every morning on day shift for 7 days at 4am. I get up, I'm fine. I get to work, I do okay, by noon, I'm ready to kill somebody. By the time I get home, I've blown up at at least two people on the way over absolutely nothing.
For instance...my step father picked me up from work the other day in my car, well, the car I bought. It started to rain, it was warm, so we had the windows down and all he could do is complain that GM designed the Buick I have poorly because the rain blows in a stream off the edge of the windshield and right across the door windows. If they're open, you get soaking wet.
Well, that started a huge argument.
Then he started complaining that the seats in the car made his legs go numb. That started something just short of a thermonuclear explosion.
It just doesn't matter what anybody says, they're still gonna get their head ripped off.
So is it just me, or is everybody pissed off over everything and nothing this week?

I've noticed that as well. Maybe it's just the time of year... it's hot, muggy and people are in a bad mood. I've been all emo today for other reasons, but I'm getting over it pretty quickly. I had a good week last week... I went to Kansas City, but I can feel the relaxation from my little vacation wearing off real quick. I've been very snappy and annoyed today and last night I actually cried for no reason. I hardly ever cry.... *shrug*

Been pretty lucky about the weather.

However, I've noticed people have been somewhat crabby this week. I came pretty close to beating the living shit out of a co-worker on Monday (about three hours into the shift) when he started dumping his crap on me. While I kept my cool for the entire shift, I blasted in the car on the way home. My blood pressure went flying that day and I couldn't sleep that night. I was up until around 12:45 am and even then, didn't sleep well. Shutterbug finally warned me that I may wind up in the hospital again.

All throughout this week, I've been getting blasted and people have been pretty rude. Also finding more than my share of slobbering morons as well.
Must be a full moon.

All I can say is "Thank God it's Friday."

Shael- a very pragmatic question to ask is, are you eating enough and staying hydrated? Sounds like you could be hypoglycemic, where if you don't eat often enough (small quantities frequently) it can seriously affect one's mood and temper.

Just a suggestion which may be totally off track, but something to maybe consider. Hope next weeks pans out better for you.

My thoughts exactly. I'm the same way.

I'm overtired, sick of listening to my parents bitch, my cats are driving me crazy and since I got back from Memphis, I haven't really wanted to do anything but sleep.
I've been trying to take better care of myself, I think it's just work stress and worry about something that's coming in October beginning to catch up with me.
In October, my employer is changing software, which entails upgrading our production recording systems to interface with this software, called SAP.
Since I went to Memphis, I eat, sleep and breathe PPR and SAP.
If things don't change at work, the upgrade is going to fail, miserably. Nothing will work, we'll be in the same predicament as another facility is and it'll be my ass and the asses of about 40 other people.
Management isn't listening when we tell them the things that need to be done and fast or else we're going to be so deep in shit that we're never going to get out of it.
I think what's really bothering me about the whole thing is I'm not used to failing and I really don't want this to fail because I'm not answering to my manager, I'm answering to corporate headquarters in Memphis. If we pull it off, it could mean a promotion for me and others involved, if we fail...I don't want to think about what'll happen if we fail.
Anyway, I've got four days off, maybe I'll feel better by then and not snap at everybody when I get back to work.

Major changes at work can really screw you up there for sure.

Take your four days and enjoy them. You sound like you really need them.

Hope you're feeling better.
