Becoming The Enemy

You would think you'd turn away from someone you loathe, but the opposite occurs.  The more you think of them, the more you become like them, and the more you think like them.  "You are what you put your time into," after all, and if you invest your time into overthinking another person (worse, an enemy), you will slowly transform into them.  Partially, anyways.

Of course, facing one's demons is vitally important.  It does no good to run away from something one must confront.  But obsession is the pit on the other side of that challenge.  Rumination is stagnation.

Deal with the problem, then move on.  One thing at a time.  Replace your mind's thoughts of sad history with a brighter future.

Stress

It is days like today that drive me up a wall and make me wonder how much I can actually get done in 24 hours.  I don't want to get into details.  Just know that HR issues are the worst issues, and being a supervisor isn't easy.

I've the problem of taking work home with me and not finishing it at the office.  On-call, I can't avoid, of course, but I don't push as hard as I should to wrap up job work as soon as possible.  Though my weekend's started, I'm going in tomorrow to tie loose ends, maybe get ahead of the game a bit.  But it's a lot of catch-up thanks to today.

Can't wait for a break.  I'm vacationing in a week and a half.  Will not think a bit about this.  And it will be glorious. :-D
