What is currently on your mind?

That's not the topic, that's just how I feel this afternoon.

And I know all the reasons why, but sometimes, you just really want a nap, you know?

Nice! I think the congregation would love it. A lot seem to dehumanize our church leaders. It may be more edifying than you realize. Take some pressure off.

What kind of party??

Just a party at a bar. I do not mess with drinking and driving at all. Plus as a highly social anxious person I do not want to be the center of attention in a social setting.

But I do not understand why it’s a party for you? Maybe to make connections at work? Break you in?

Because I'm leaving this building to work for another building. I was loaned out for another company these past few months.

I see. Well go with the flow. Do your thing. Even if it does not fit their agenda as an excuse to party. You do you!

I guess so. Personally I'd rather not have one.. but eh I guess it might be the last time I see these co-workers.

Make the most of it even if it is for research purposes.

Can't you just say, I don't want a party and ,hey, I'm glad I won't be seeing what's her face...the one that was bugging for awhile?

It’s basically inane and vapid but you can sift the situation or just simply make an appearance and leave. Just be a good sport. I know it can be exhausting to deal with these rituals.

What's her face was from a previous job. If you're talking about her. Lol.

Oh what, you left that job with the overbearing manager (I think it was)?

She wasn't a manager but she was good friends with one.. which is why she could schedule me working together with her all the time.. but yeah I left that job back in March.

The going away party was fun. Although I've had enough social interaction for a while.

Listening to a press conference from our state premier and trying to work out how/if any of the most recently announced restrictions affect us.

I will say my mind has been really foggy these last few weeks.. heard this can be a symptom of being vaccinated. Although my mind has been through these cycles before. Might be pent up stress mixed with compounding shame. If I meditate the fog clears up somewhat.. but it's hard to keep the stress and shame at bay.
