I'm starting to wind down from the crazy, I think. Last week was the first time I actually thought I might need some kind of pharmaceuticals to help me be sane or at least tame my anxiety. It was awful - I couldn't turn off my brain at all and I kept obsessing over everything that was bothering me, filling in the vague with details of my own design which is not good. It was Kenny that pointed that part out - that I don't handle vagueness well at all and have a tendency to replace the unknown with my own projections. This is a bad solution, kids, I really don't recommend it. Anyway, I'm feeling a bit better and more level and had a decent weekend, mostly. I did a little shopping, some cooking and some mountain biking. I had my younger sister and her boyfriend over for dinner, which was fun. That's about it for the weekend.
One other thing I want to mention before I go. My name. It's Adrien. Note the "en" at the end. My name is not: Adrian, Adrienne, Adriene, Adrianne, or Adriane. It's ADRIEN. I've had it misspelled at least once a week for my entire freaking life and I'm tired of it. In the past week it's been spelled "Adrian" on three different occasions, all by people I know.
It's such a small thing to learn, I think. Lets all work on it.
I am terribly sorry because I'm sure I've misspelled your name before, I do always try to check it against my address entry for you just in case my brain is malfunctioning.
ReplyDeleteI completely hear you on the ridiculousness of salary crap. It wasn't that long ago I was told I'd reached my ceiling and would be going no further. Thanks employer for that great motivation!
I hear you on the name rage. Constant misspellings and mispronunciations are the main reasons why I just started going by KB, and people still manage to mess that up. Now I hear/see people misspelling/mispronouncing McKenna's name (MaKinna) and I'm afraid she'll have to endure a life of name-frustration as well.
