I'm In Distress, I Need A Caress

Distress, not exactly. Frustrated, absolutely. Buzzcocks seemed appropriate for the afternoon.

Guns Bitches and Bling Were Not Part of The Four Elements

I'm not feeling this graduate program. So much work, and so much of it I feel like I'm doing in my day to day work life already. It seems pointless to me right now, and I don't know how to get into a good place about it. Maybe I'm putting some unreasonable standards on myself and my level of engagement, and not keeping my eye on the prize, which is licensure. Even though I'm more than qualified to perform my job, the state needs me to have the piece of paper. So, pursue the paper I must, therefore, read all these articles I must.

Tonight's song is all about frustration regarding things that people think are ok, or think one should be doing. Matches my mood.

Go Let It Out

I had to call "uncle" on my schedule today. As much as I feel my presence at Town Meeting is helpful for my own learning as an elected public official, I am not a voting member. The articles up for discussion at this special were not involving the schools in a direct manner, and to be honest, I needed these hours to complete work for my actual job. The one that pays the bills. And makes me a crazy person. As it did tonight.

Part of me still feels like I've shirked my duty to the town somehow, but until I'm a registered town meeting member (harder than anticipated), this is one meeting I'm happy to watch via Norwood Public Access and text my member friends with questions.

We Don't Have The Power, We Just Don't Run This Place

About how I'm feeling right now. I can't fix the insanity, I can't make it better, and I cannot allow crazy people to make me feel less of a person, less of a professional over this, either.

Really wretched time in my professional world right now. All I really want to say about it, though.
