Millie's terrible day thread. You can post any and of your disappoints for the day, week, month, year, or your life.

So, I've had a bit of a setback and feel like shit again.

Sympathy. Thought I was on the mend over the weekend, but today suggests not.

It has been a bad week and a half. Work troubles and my boss making threats has me on edge. Sitting effectively in a hallway with my back to him has my fight-or-flight impulse on overdrive.

All this layered on the eternal wait for our internal hiring processes to tick forward so I can get out of this situation, hopefully.

God do I hate my work life right now.

So, walking pneumonia has proven to be a formidable opponent. It has me on the ropes, and I have little will to fight it. So, I called and made yet another appointment with my doctor.

@Naughtylit81 I'm sorry your work sucks the big ones. @Kumquatqueen 'tisn't fair when you feel good and think you got the crappys on the run only to find out you're wrong.

Sorry to hear it! I hope it's only temporary, and that you feel better soon.

Thanks, that means a lot to me.

My setback of the day... discovering somebody stole my big wrench set out of the studio garage. Left the big door open for the fence crew, and somebody obviously cruised by and snagged it while they were at lunch.

Replaceable, but not. It was a big set to start with, but it also held 20 years' accumulation of special bits and adapters, several hundred dollars' worth.

 

[MillieDynamite]

That would make me very, very angry.

I spent almost three weeks tweaking and polishing the latest chapter of my series only to see it published at the very bottom of a loooong list of New Stories, where it has languished in obscurity. Two days on, it has only just cracked ten reviews, and is still at <1k hits. I’m not angry or anything, just bummed. This is thankless work and I should know better than to get my hopes up, but I am weak.
