There's a cloud hovering over my workplace. Truly, it seems like it anyway.
These past days and weeks, it's been rough. I mean, we always have bad days - a little stress, etc. But recently... it's been not pleasant.
Three weeks ago, the mother of one of our older workers died.
Two weeks ago, the mother of another of our workers died.
Friday, the mother of another worker had a severe stroke and is still having mini-strokes/seizures three days later.
On top of all that....
A co-worker got married Saturday, and one of her guests got drunk at the reception and started a fight which caused the cops to be called.
Today - a newer co-worker's spouse miscarried their second child.
A very very very big fucking cloud hanging all around.
Oh, and did I mention we're going through our annual audit as the kicker? A month of folks looking through everything, trying to find mistakes or problems they can point a finger at....sigh.
Lucky that October is vacation time for more than half the office to boot.
Someone, anyone - got a hug to lend?
hugs
xof

it always seems like bad things happen like that, all at once. there must be a cosmic rule somewhere. the audit, nothing you can do about that. i used to go throught them and be scared to death until i realzied not much i can do at that point anyway. you take care and think good happy thoughts. lots of stuart and vince, brian and michael...
