I’ve decided I need to stop talking / typing / thinking / etc. It’s just plain bad. I put my foot in my mouth so much that all I can taste are nasty dirty socks. Especially when I’m tired and have been pulling loads of 12’s and got loaded up with modafinil to plow through it. I took too many last night and now I won’t sleep today, and I’ll do it all again tonight. And our lead is on medical leave, so I’m in charge of running this stupid freaking electric furnace the size of a house while coordinating our team and managing production. The foolish supervisors expect me to not break a bunch of glass and turn the production floor into a seething mass of chaos. Ha! I’ll show them. It’s going to be raining glass by the time the night is over.
But I’ll also have alienated everybody I know and driven everyone up the walls with my incoherent rambling nonsense. It’s like I forget how to listen when I’m like this and I think talking at people is a good compromise. God, I hate myself sometimes. I txt bombed a friend earlier who’s in bed with stomach issues, and I just rambled on about it – it was okay at first, I was legitimately concerned, still am, but that devolved into just… god, I don’t even know. And another friend has been trying to get me to hang out with him on his property, but I keep forgetting to reply back to him at all until he’s already at work and it’s too late to go over. And on and on and on… my stupid bridge-burning knows no end.
Please kick me, or hit me with a lead pipe or something. I swear to god, I need a mental reset. If you reply to this, I swear I will say something incredibly fucking stupid to you and you’ll think I’m awkward and weird. That’s just how I roll. Take it or leave it, or hit me with a pipe to make me shut the hell up. The last one is the best option.

You sound exhausted.
You can say anything you want. I won’t judge and will be happy for the conversation.
It sounds like you’re operating a glass furnace. Twelve straight hours of that can be a strain. Can you take any time off, even just a day?
6 days on 1 day off. Crazy people dominating my free time, all I want is to cuddle a kitten. 🙁
Cuddling kittens is good.
Howdy. Seen any moose?
I hope you see this. Yes, I’ve seen a couple moose since I was last active here. They’re really big.
How are you?
They get to be huge and quite stately. Well, despite everything that brought me here eight years ago I am seeing something of a way forward now. CTB will always be an option but should be quite a ways away. And you?
I’m actually doing well. Remarried with two grandbabies. Considering moving south.
Doing well is an fine accomplishment. Marriage can be much better the next time around. Grandbabies and grandmothers are so mutually beneficial. Thinking of sunnier climes?
Yes, the grandbabies are in the sunny region.
Reason enough to move south, for sure.
Bridge burning – used to be a common activity for me. For a long time.
