It's really time to get back here in the routine - I miss this tiny iota of control over my life.

Had a rough day. I'm in the States this week, fly back to Dublin tomorrow then have to go to London on Sunday - and am stressing over a 2 day meeting this coming Monday that I need to facilitate with 20 people from all over the European region that I have never met, at a facility I have never seen, discussing topics I know very little about, one of them data protection standards and procedures. uhhhh, what is that? Oh yes, and two days after that - was somehow chosen to call a bunch of people I don't know and brainstorm 'company values and innovation' for a presentation during "spirit week" (btw: I'm the one who always lurks out and conveniently misses these team building sessions)

All that aside (sorry for the stress-rant, I needed to get it off my chest; maybe I can read the post in a few weeks and laugh) - it resulted in me being very antsy, going back and forth to the vending machine, eating carbs, sugar, etc.

Does anyone have a OMG, I hate my job, I hate my life tactic of nibbling or eating something that is not disastrous to the waistline?

I'm eagerly awaiting Wednesday when I can hopefully settle down for a bit, join a gym and eat tuna salad like the normal person I used to be.

I do miss you folks - my home computer shipped a couple of days ago and should arrive within a week or so!
