Hmm, is calm in the face of major impending stress a sign that I've snapped?

[serene]

I feel perfectly calm.

I'm still covering for the woman at work who is, sadly, out with inoperable cancer. They should have a temp in early next week. My co-worker (who has been here six years to my six months) is supposed to train the temp.

Same co-worker just came to me and told me today is *her* last day for at least two weeks but probably forever because she has carpal tunnel syndrome and needs to be retrained in a nonrepetitive line of work.

Oy.

I swore if I had to do her job I'd quit. Over the next couple of weeks, we'll see if I was right.

Oy.

Oy, indeed.

Supportive thoughts are heading rapidly towards you, across the oceans and continents, from this Tigron.

Color me immensely grateful for them.

I'll handle this, and I'll probably even kind of like being the queen of all I survey, but this'll definitely not be a sleepy, cushy job for a while. Ah, well.

Well if there's one thing I've learnt about crises, it's that they always feel very different from within than they did before they arrived. So the being calm sounds, well, like maybe you've already done the (really) hard bit of this one.

/m, very likely projecting (but that's what Comments are for, right?)

Between disasters, I always think that anticiption is worse. Then the disaster happens.
