A customer should not talk to you at length, accept your recommendations, accept your price quote, then do a bait-'n'-switch and totally scrap all the code you did the day before (which made you feel very productive) because they don't remember what you talked about or why they accepted your recommendations.

Yes, I know this happens (more often than I like to admit), but still...

Rar!

Still slightly off-balance, mentally. I'm not the exhausted, cranky Rob from yesterday, but he's still lurking under the surface, waiting to strike - just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, huh? He's making me irritable, although I'm able to keep it under tighter control today - I was getting mad earlier about things like my lunch taking 5 minutes to reheat. Caught myself before I had a mini-tantrum and counted to 10. I don't feel actively stressed, but I haven't let go of it all yet.

He's also throwing off my body. I have no appetite today. Once I had that lunch reheated, it was all I could do to even look at it. Not keeping it, since it won't re-freeze/re-re-heat well, which makes me feel really bad - Z put a lot of work into it. I just can't eat, though. If I force it, I'll throw up, and that's even harder on the body. Can barely even drink. Had no appetite last night, either -- all I ate was 3 biscuits. Breakfast this morning gave me a much-needed jolt of blood sugar, but it's wearing out and so am I.

I do not deal with stress well. Totally wrecks me.

Mmm. A handful of pretzel sticks and water doesn't aggravate my stomach too much. Antacids are helping a bit too.

Blessed sustenance. Got to eat better tonight, though.
