doh!

Lunch only ended up being an hour and forty minutes today. I expected to be a little late because I always am if I'm having lunch with someone else, but showing Bax around Fremont was a time-consuming necessity. My supervisor is a little peeved, but not too badly. I think I'll be staying a little late tonight...

Something inside me went violently twitch at this entry, and it took a couple of minutes for it to percolate through: I was once threatened with being fired for taking long lunches. By a supervisor who consistently took two-hour lunches, and regularly left work during lunch and didn't come back afterwards. Poking at the twitch a bit more, I find that I'm generally very twitchy about any behavior that might cause somebody to lose a job. sigh... Y'know, I'll be really happy when this insecurity goes away, or at least dims down a bit.

This isn't meant to in any way disapprove of you, or Bax, or anything - it's my twitchiness. That's a big strange lump of insecurity I have there. :p I suppose it's not too surprising, given the recent employment experiences in my life... but it's... I suppose it's like finding oneself feeling extremely uncomfortable while listening to somebody else's story about something personally touchy. People have reactions like that to stuff all the time - Lady knows I've had reactions like that before, from myself and from other people. I'm just surprised to see it in this form. Something to think about, that might give me a better handle on my own deep insecurities and unhappy feelings about employment in general. Maybe not having a "job" for a while will cure me of that twitch. Damn, I hope so. Bleah.

Oh, and re: other comment - I did see the necklace at Angi's, remember? :)

Ick. I'm sorry. I don't think I am in any more danger of losing this job than I am anyway, so if reassurance on that score helps, please have some. *hug* Good luck feeling better about it.

Well, maybe I want you to admire my necklace again. Besides, there are people at your house who haven't seen it yet, and I crave recognition! :)
