That Feeling - Down and Out

It's been a rough day/week/month so far. I've had all kinds of issues at work ... from me making mistakes (that are fixable, but that's not the point) to dealing with not-so nice people. Pushing my people coping skills to the limit, trust me. I guess I should be thankful that my boss tells me not to worry, February is a short month and almost over and I can make up for all this stuff in March. Ha. I don't find that very funny either. And for those people who are just not happy and feel the need to grind me down? They obviously sense a weaker person when they speak with me and feel 'entitled' to demand the way they are demanding.

Oh well, some things are just that way! Sitting here, clearing my throat. Yup, that's post nasal drip. So the question is, how long before I can kick this OUT of my system? I give it til Friday. Nightly NyQuil and daily Dayquil today, tomorrow & Friday. That's it.
