guess where i am?

I know you're tired of hearing it (or reading my Tweets about it,) but I'm at WORK right now.
One would get the impression, reading my blog, that my career is Very Important to me and that I am a Career Woman. One would be partially correct.
Indeed, I enjoy earning my keep and I love doing something at which I excel and which contributes to the general Good. But I do not like having stomach aches, stress headaches, heart palpitations and general feelings of free-floating panic and fear.
I also do not like having to deal with the prospect of updating my resume and finding another job at which I excel, will pay me enough, allow contributions to my savings, and which would also contribute to Goodness - all in an economic environment where barista jobs have become highly coveted.
You know??
(Not that there's anything wrong with being a barista - I'm just not very service oriented and, in general, am not made for jobs that require touching food or money.)
I also do not like not having seen NewGuy for more than two days in the past 2.5 weeks and this is...different. LTF could've incinerated himself in his own apartment and I wouldn't have noticed for weeks.
(I'm sure these comparisons between NewGuy and LTF are boring but it's an interesting exercise for me.)
This week was so bad at work I'd wake up in the middle of the night with my heart pounding and stomach cramps. The only way I could get to sleep was to imagine NewGuy hogging the comforter and snoring next to me.
Huh. I just made myself uncomfortable admitting that.
*shaking it off*
