Hmm, glancing at my friends entires this morning sure as hell was an emotional minefield. I'm not sure when I last so many uses of the f word in a confined space.

If anyone asks I'm in hiding.

Slightly worried - have a weird growth, somewhere between a spot, an ulcer and a nerve ending right at the back of my tongue. Far enough back I feel it every time I swallow and it's like a constant pressure just below my ear.

Really uncomfortable and hurts constantly. It feels like a wayward nerve ending but is so far back that every time I prod it it starts off my gag reflex. Can't really do anything with it and it hurts like buggery. I hope it'll heal, but slightly worried in case it's something I -should- be worried about. yerf.

Gonna get some mouth alcer cream at lunch and see if that helps any.

Okay, so I admit it, I sneaked a glance at Uncanny X-men while I was in the comic shop, although I didn't buy it.

Anyone else think it was a bit... well, okay, a -lot- disturbing that after a heart to heart with Paige's mother, Warren then took her daughter outside, flew up into the air and proceeded to undress, then fuck her daughter in full view of her and the X-men, who cheered them on?

These aren't your father's X-men.

Come back Claremont, even God Loves, Man Kills 2 is forgiven.

In other news, picked up Daredevil, New Mutants, Weapon X, New X-men, Negative Exposure, Wolverine, the Pulse and a couple of cheapy X-factor back issues.

Also the Batman: Hush second trade.

Geek alert.

Whoa... deja vu.

Hate that.

Could possibly be bacause I'm doing the exact same thing now as I was a month ago at this time though. You never know.

So...

Had a falling out with my boss today. My secretary, with his encouragement, was just messing about instead of doing work, distracting me and slowly pushing me to boiling point. Finally got to the point where I said, 'fuck this, I'm going to grab ten minutes fresh air before I break something or someone.' My boss told me I wasn't. I shrugged and walked off anyway and got some air.

Got back and he was majorly pissed off. Not so much at the fact I'd got stressed out, but the fact I'd shown him up and questioned his authority by walking out on him. I was pretty resentful and pointed out that if he was going to get pissy about me taking ten minutes when I was likely to be working to midnight anyway, he really wasn't on very solid ground. There was much muttering about 'well you're paid the extra to deal with the stresses, if we have to get someone else in to handle the workload we will and you'll miss out etc etc.'

However, think it became clear just how stressed and pissed off I was. I explained the last thing I needed this week was anyone adding to that and apologised for undermiming him. All sorted, but left a nasty taste in my mouth, other than my ulcer ointment. Sales have gone up a third since I've been with the company, the number of pages in the paper has gone up from an average of 32 to an average of 40 WITh an extra set of 4 cover pages on top. Basically setting almost half as many pages again as what I initially signed on for. SO SAYING THE PREVIOUS DESIGNER COPED ISN'T A HELP YOU PRAT!

So, basically, this boils down to, if you get snipy with me this week for whatever reason, expect worse back. I'm really not in the mood thank you.
