Work it, baby, yeah!

Today, I was given something to ponder about at work, and it kind of rattled me in unexpected ways.


A co-worker told me in confidence some possible movement in my current work position and I haven’t yet decided what to make of it. Just when I’ve decided to finish this year’s audit, then decide whether I would want to continue or not, here comes this possible 3rd option.


I can’t think of what to do with this info yet, so might as well store it deep and let it brew in my subconscious. I’ve six more months to decide, at least.

The Demon god Eros and the Attack of Harpies with Quivers-full of Deathly Love-Arrows, or, Advanced Valentine’s to All

Have you ever experienced waking up to an unspeakable feeling of yearning; a longing so complete and palpable, it’s almost physical? When you cannot do anything without thinking of that one person… when in every conversation you hear that person’s name… when everything you read contains the name.


And you cannot do anything about it, because try as you might, it is ingrained in your head, and the more you try to forget it, the more you remember.


It just wells up inside you and you cannot, however you try, contain it. It just shows in your actions, in your mood, in your face… in your work. All you see is visions of you two together, of you talking and dining together, of sharing your life together.


And it just tears you apart, because no matter how much you want it; no matter how much you wish for it; no matter how much you strive to make it work; it is nothing more than the stuff of dreams. It cannot be realized.


You like pain? Try falling in love.
