    November 28th, 2007 by Premee

    Well!

    After hearing the full details of a huge new project, too much to handle in my current state (what is up with management dumping more work on you when you’re already doing the job of two people?), I just gave up and before I knew what I was saying, it was all, “I quit. I mean, I’d like to resign. I mean, uh, I respectfully… uh… pants… err… with all due… I just quit, OK?” They stared at me for a second, the fat files faltering in their hands. I burst into tears. It was kind of awesome.

    So now we get to find out what was going on really:
    - Did insomnia cause job stress?
    - Did job stress cause insomnia?
    - Did depression cause insomnia?
    - Did depression cause job stress?
    - Did job stress cause depression or insomnia?
    - Are any of the above things causing me to hear things all the time?
    - Are any of the above things causing me to draw rockets all the time?
    - Or robots?
    - How about a hot bath with that fabulous clove-scented bomb from Lush? And no razorblades? And maybe sleeping in tomorrow?
    - Am I going to get better now (thanks to no work stress) or worse (thanks to being unemployed)?
    - Is it good that I don’t have a job (because the job was killing me) or bad that I don’t have a job (because there goes my employee support program)?

    Anyway, I don’t really like quiz-type memes (”7 Things You Didn’t Know About Me”) but I do like graphic memes, and I would love if everybody tried this one. True, it takes a couple of minutes, but it’s so fun, and it definitely says more about the interweb than it does about me, I think.

    What you do is: go to Google image search, and type in the answers to the following queries, and put up a result picture from the first page you get back. See? Easy!

      Congratulations Premee! That job was pants. Way to go… I’d have quit months ago.

      We shall get together for drinks during the festive season to celebrate (between now and then I am a shut-in unfortunately.. or fortunately as the case may be).
