I can barely open my eyes today. Slept straight up to the alarm, which is tantamount to being late, in my book, especially on a weekend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last night&#8217;s commute would have been unremarkable save for the appearance of a beautiful woman at 59th Street. I could barely look away, her thin legs, no ass,lightly-fitted shoes. She was glued to a video game on her phone and had no interest in the world around her save for the logistics of getting a seat on the W. Her face was focused but unstable. Too much makeup for such a natural beauty. A younger version of the woman I&#8217;m after<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I got approved for Family Leave, even though I have no family. It means I can get paid to have panic attacks. You have to earn this privilige, a fact I find distasteful, but ti&#8217;s what it is. If you are hired new and experience anxiety or panic you are either expected to work through it or get docked pay for going AWOL.   I have worked through it numerous times, sometimes reaching a brink of dysfunction that had me questioning my ability to coherently string two words together<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only twice in this year have I had to just give up. The terms of my Family Leave settlement are that I have up to 420 hours per year to freak out. In reality I wouldn&#8217;t expect to use more than 24 hours for this, if even that. But it&#8217;s good to have a comfortable buffer. A bumfortable cuffer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I picked up More Lorazapam last night. My supply is solid now. 1mg most days, so a 30 day supply of 2mg tablets lasts 60 days, minus days like today where I took 1-1\/2mg because of the sleep fail and the anxiety overhead that accompanies this. I do not stockpile pharmaceuticals for the purpose of one day gorging on them. That doesn&#8217;t really work with these meds anyway. I just like to have a supply for when insurance cancels itself, flakes out, when doctors or pharmacists fail in their duties. If I quit this job it would take weeks to navigate a path to Medicaid, because they deliberately make it such a puzzle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are trying to move me up in this company. Trying to get me into the realm where I don&#8217;t do as much work. I don&#8217;t know how I feel about that. I was a mucky-muck for several years and the worst part of it was that i didn&#8217;t get to do anything. I sat in meetings and took houra long lunches but most days I could not give a detailed account of having accomplished a single fucking thing. That&#8217;s where I&#8217;m headed here, if I let them have their way with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WIthout fail, successful sleep meets failed.
