Tantrum Tuesday

Honest I need to scream I think.
But I won't.

Interview went very well sadly and i am expecting to hear back probably tomorrow - and I am at bursting point of stress levels now. I cannot imagine travelling to London every day - It will be hell - But I also know I will accept as will be unable to refuse if offered it. So I am in a bad mood. I am trying to work out how to convince Bex pea size brain into going for the local, with craft time role ......... I'll keep working on it.

Aside from that little update I will not post a mega rambling as I am TOTALLY stressed out over something so tiny and silly that I should really walk away laughing.
But instead I will work myself up into a frenzy over it. Do any of you do this? Get in a right old state about something that REALLY doesn't matter? Jeez with all that goes on in the world I really need to get a grip. BUT I am still pissed off and stewing lol

Off now cos I may just rant and moan if I stay.
Will snap out of it I promise and be back in a couple of days when my head resembles more than the mush it currently is xxxxxx (Unless of course I human combust with all the stress levels I am experiencing right now x)

Love and hugs to all

Bex

Hey Bex!

Sorry your interview went so well!!
Bit of a trek each day from Herts to Town - would you drive or take the sardine can, sorry, I mean the train?
When I go up London, I tend to drive up to Colnbrook/Heathrow and hit the Picadilly line from there. Saves so much over Chiltern Railways charges!!

My nan has dug out some bits and bobs, and I'll send you an e-mail and some pics shortly....

Hello sweetie-
As your sis says, JUST BREATHE!!!
(and let yourself feel).

I can feel your inner turmoil.
Maybe it's not the "tiny and silly thing" that's bugging you - it may be that you are going to accept a job you may not really want, and that is making you a bit edgy.

Take care and be well Bex.
I wish you well, and peace of mind.

Love,
Suexx

Hey Bex

Sue's advice is spot on. Turmoil Tuesday always leads to wacky Wednesday. A smile is a frown upside down. Who wouldn't hire you, creative witty and sparkly.

Hola Bex,

Poor you, it's not something silly if it makes you feel so stressed. Try to relax and take care of your health and happiness.
You love crafting, so though you accept the job in London, Mad Crafting Bex will attack again with new ideas!!!!
You just have to get used to the new situation.

Have sweet dreams!

Ah, I feel your pain!

Yes, we all get bugged by the "small" things, it's only natural. When this happens to me, I usually scream, curse, and otherwise act like a lunatic.
I agree with Sue, you are feeling "edgy" about your BIG decision, so those pesky, unimportant things, are making you crazy.....it will pass!

Good luck, Bex!

oooooer Bex. You sound like you're wanting to stamp your foot! Hey, go ahead and do it, I would!
Listen Mate - do you really need to take that job? If you don't want to travel in to London and can manage - why don't you hang on a while and see if anything comes up locally.
Hubby travelled into the City for years and I know he's a lot calmer and his days are much shorter now that he's driving into Cambridge instead - even though the actual journey time isn't much different - it's the standing on platforms, working to timetables and the squishing into smelly trains that makes the difference.

Delbut said...

Ok. it's not often Delbut has anything wise to say -and i'm not going to change now - but, make a list! Trust me on this one. One side -good points of working in London again.; other side: good things about staying put and having more time. Put a score against those things that are important to you. e.g. crafting = 10. Wasting time travelling =1 etc. unfortunately, money comes into it so, give your income now a score thus. If you earn say, £20k but you want to earn £40k then the score is 5. With me so far? If the new job offers more then the score has to go up, right? Then add both sides up. Voila! decision made.

p.s. If it's not the descision you were hoping for, then you have to sit and think of some more plus points, devide by 9 3/4 and take away the first number you thought of. Sorted.

The above, although not being heavily scientific, is all my own work and carries an intellectual copyright and means if you use it, you owe me -AGAIN>

Sheesh, the things i do for you.

Delbut said...

Just thought of a good point for working in London. I often go there and i can wave to you when i'm in the street.

If you're not certain on this point: It goes on the PLUS side.

Hi Bex, stress is my middle-name. Sometimes I get more tired from worry & stress than a long, pyhsical work-out!

Just keep busy with stuff you love to do. Work is the best tonic.

All the Best! Ed

grace said...

Hi there, oh yes I can work myself stressed up pretty good at times. I think we all do it. As Suesjoy said, just breathe!! I am trying to take that advice, been on the ole stess train myself lately. Don't let it get you, snuggle up with Maisie and let go of the stress, follow Maisie's thought, just run around shred some things, tear it up!!!

Suesjoy said...

Hi again Bex!

I was thinking of YOU while driving today and about how I told you to JUST BREATHE...then Bush's headbanging song came on the band not our numbskull president). Do you remember the song that goes: "breathe in breathe out breathe in" ??
THAT - my dear, is synchronicity. I love when that happens.
So...are ya breathing??



Del is such a sweetie with his formula for you! ;)
Good advice from the man...

Hope you are ok!
Lots of love,
Suesxxx

Elizabeth A. said...

Awww, Bex~ No worries, it will all work out! I am the QUEEN of over-reacting to little things (I'll e-mail you soon) trust me, you'll get quite a giggle!

Until then~ I like what Sue has said:

Just Breathe.

This time I light my candle for YOU, Darlin'

Much Love~
Elizabeth

Paula said...

Hey if you get the job in London, I'll join Delbut waving at you in the street.
Or occasionally we could meet up and speak to each other ;-)

James Casey said...

See, see, o Bexster, how your so-called 'friends' are quite happy to meet up with you should you stray into London, but don't offer to do so otherwise.

Says Captain Hypocrite... ahem...

Gary said...

Follow your heart dear. I've been a lot happier since I closed my web design business and focused on music. Money isn't everything. You should accept the job if you feel it will challenge you professionally, and is something you'd be interested in. Proximity to my home is something I weigh heavily nowadays because I like our home, love being in it, not on the freeway.

ok, hope you are better Bex. Good luck my dear.

Jane said...

aaawww Bex ! this isn't like you. (very like me but hey, we have to accept the old Scorpio traits good and bad !! lol !)

You've probably calmed down now and worked out all the answers......what ever the problem is...can't you talk it through with who ever ? if not...sit tight and time will calm stuff down ! take it from another Scorpio ! lol !!

Jxxxx
