Screamin' hallelujah motherfucker, take me to church

We survived Monday! It wasn't horrible with the holidays. Steady, but not overwhelming.

I spoke with my manager, who said they had no idea that results were going to go out like that. They'd planned to speak with everyone this week, and give them the news. I mentioned that I'd love to get some feedback as to where my deficits were, and how I could do better next time. He said that he would think on it, but to give them a little time and bear with them a little bit longer. Not quite sure what that means. If you just made the decision, you surely know why you hired someone vs someone else. But I like my manager, so I will be patient and see what he says.

I realized a little after lunchtime that it was almost exactly the 10 year anniversary of my mother's death. I had feelings of a sort. Not so much about her, but about the feelings of that day. It was a rough day. I still have trauma from it, whereas I don't for dad. Mom will always elicit complicated feelings in me. After the teenage years, I was never the golden child, but over the last decade of her life, it got worse. And the last two years were hell. She would deliberately bait me until I either snapped or ran downstairs sobbing. If I snapped, she would go into her "I guess I'm a horrible mother" schtick, which would inevitably send me downstairs to cry. It was bad. Life was so much better for me once she was gone.

Last night, while talking to people about a one shot I'm running next weekend, I had a plot bunny for an oops all evil characters one or two shot. And a lot of people want to play. So I'm doing two all evil games. It should be a lot of fun, I think.

Okay, time for me to go forth and get myself together. Everyone have an outstanding Tuesday! (Which reminds me, time to take the turkey out of the freezer!)
