The last month or two has been horrible, but out of it, some good things happened.
I'm drawing a black curtain over the bad - it's not over, but the bad situation is now [mostly] brought to light (it's work stuff, I'm tired of talking about it), and hopefully things will improve. I give it another month or two, or until I get a better offer.
The good thing is, that out of the bad, I made a new friend. A good friend. Not a flake, not a snob - a real, *real* person. And that is so nice. In addition to that, I've grown closer to some other people I work with, and finally gotten on the good side of some other people who I never really worked with before. I guess when people unite against a common cause, or in this case a person, they grow closer.
So, black curtain... new friends...
There are some other pretty big stressors in my life right now but they will work themselves out.
