Overwhelmed

[cosmolinguist]

The meme that goes "what a week/Captain, it's Wednesday"?

I basically said both parts of that myself today, in a meeting with an equally tired and frazzled colleague.

And it was only much later that I realized.

It isn't even Wednesday today. It's only Tuesday.

First thing tomorrow morning I have my PIP assessment. It's for a review from 2024 of a decision made in 2021. So much has happened. Looking over my descriptions from both these documents tonight, I am overwhelmed.

After the assessment, I will rush in to avpresentation for a webinar with a couple of colleagues (which is actually way more stressful than doing it myself). As long as the DWP's (expensive outsourced) assessors don't keep me waiting an arbitrary amount of time for it as one of their little games, something they are known to do.

Sending love, and also flamethrower (in case that would be helpful)

Hugs. That sounds hard going.

It seems fitting, considering the name my journal has had for many many years now. ("Sometimes it's better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness." It's a Terry Pratchett quote.)

Hah!

Pterry is everywhere.

I'd credited you, because you‘re eloquent like that

Much love and strength for DWP and other stuff tomorrow. ObFuck the DWP.
