I really am. I’m just too tired. There are too many things I should be doing, and I’ve only got enough energy to really care about a few of them. I’ve got so little energy, that dealing with really spunky, talkative, concerned, and otherwise awake people is almost more than I can stand at the moment.
Ok, so at work we’re planning to implement a new service. This is kind of exciting. I can’t wait to see what creative uses people will make of this service. But now, all of a sudden, people are starting to panic about stuff. Big stuff, little stuff, it doesn’t matter. Only the panic matters. Unfortunately, it’s the panic that I don’t have the energy to slough off at the moment. I’m not proud of my coping mechanism, but here it is: I shut down.
Some day I’ll learn to keep myself going in situations like this, but I’m just too tired to do it now. Too tired.
