quiet in here today.

Anybody else feel a bit chilly in here lately, or is it just me?
It may just be that we're all too busy to carry on as we have done for years and there is a natural change in...um...automatic closeness, or something.
I'm not sure, and not to put too fine a point on it, but the love, while not gone, seems not to be so obvious of late. I guess it could be a subconscious product of the election and the turmoil it has brought to everyone who didn't vote Obama (all but one) and the animosity of difference that, despite most everyone here being super patient and even accepting so far...I don't know. There is a chance I'm just being paranoid but there is also a chance that I have become an annoyance that nobody really wants to have to deal with. I can see and understand that, if it's true.
I can take it and will still love and respect anyone who wants to let me have it.

And a nagging headache that just won't let up.

But that's no excuse. Sorry if you feel like you've been getting a cold shoulder.

Thanks, bros.
Reading back what I posted it may seem like a cheap grab for attention or warmth, but I really just wanted to get a reality check on if my tiresome, relentless positivity is nerve-grating. I had a feeling that the reason for the apparent cool-down is work (etc.) related, but I just like to (ineloquently) be sure that I don't lose you'se as friends because of my opposite, rambling or opinionated opinions sometimes, and that we all as a whole remain tight.

I've kinda embarrassed myself, but perhaps it's worth it from time-to-time.

January is always a huge sales month for this place where I work. The new year comes and the labs all over the world get their new budgets and start ordering stuff that they've been needing for a few months.

It always slows down in the spring... and our managers panic.

Pretty much ditto for me, just not time of year, change in life. No, not THE change lol but working 23 more hours a week outside the home than I had been it's taking some time for me to see how things fit and what needs to go, what will stay.

I DO want to stay here, just won't be able to be here as much. I'm at work till noon everyday, so I will def miss mornings unless I am a bit early on my way to work and pick you all up on my phone.

As for da loves.....BBO, you and I voted for diff guys, but I ain't hatin' you for it. No worries. Just had lots on my mind lately and so I've not been as much fun.
