Raw

All the thoughts and feelings I experienced on the internet over the weekend concerning the same-sex marriage ruling have left me a tad bruised. I mean, I'm delighted with the verdict! But then I foolishly spent too much time Sunday reading everyone's opinions and comments. Now my head is positively stuffed with noise.

There are two kinds of office friends on days when your head is stuffed with noise. The first kind stops at your door and says, "How was your weekend?" and you say, "I hate everybody," and they say, "Oh, you poor thing, I'll come back around later," and you're left in wonderous peace.

The second kind stops at your door and says, "How was your weekend?" and you say, "I hate everybody," and they plop down in your visitor chair and say, "Oh, god, same here. So, what'd they do to you?" and then you both happily dish about injustices for half an hour.

Which kind of friend do you prefer?

I can see that. Unless chatting with the other person brings out the ridiculous aspect of being in a bad mood and turns everyone's respective moods lighter. Sometimes what works is being in a non-judgmental place with a coworker. However, the down side of the chat is, now the coworker knows your business. Hmm.
