mood plummets

[juldea]

Well, crap.

I wake up in the morning (10am counts) and go to work, and I'm fine. I am in a fine mood during work - not always peppy-happy-cheery, but I haven't dipped below "confused" yet. I come home and interact with londo, and I'm still doing fine. I sit down at the computer, catch up on 45 minutes worth of LJ and various forums, then enter "my" chat rooms (some of which I do kind of reign supreme on), and within 10 minutes I am a raging bitch.

I do have a couple of topics I know are currently sore, and so if they're being poked at, of course I'm going to be grumpy about this. But they seem to be affecting me more than they should... and it's NOT the time of the month where that is expected. Then there's the stuff that shouldn't piss me off at all, and does.

Perhaps two nights isn't enough to make really concrete data points. But I really hope that I don't end up being in a horrible mood every night after work as a trade-off to enjoying the work itself.

EDIT: In the course of writing this, a friend gave me a nice compliment that helped in lifting my mood. Thank you, friend.

Got your text. Sorry everything's made of fail right now. But you know I love ya, right? We can still (potentially) hang out on Saturday even if the gbc thing isn't until the next day and then I'll help you set the planet on fire.

With ice cream.

We'll see. I know you do. <3 I don't know if there will be much hanging out time on Saturday if there's nothign to do but the concert, as we will be paying by the hour for our zipcar. :P But maybe more time Sunday before the meeting.

Maybe it's just a bit of starting-new-job stress and things'll even out as you settle in. Or maybe you picked up the city's bad vibes after the Sox's piss-poor performance of the last few days. Regardless, I hope things get better for you!

True, maybe it's just Sox vibes. Booooooo, Sox. Win a damned game.

Or three. Fucking Indians.

Hopefully it is just shockwaves from the new job, and you will feel better as you get used to the new schedule :/ Also, ideally, friends won't be all confusing when you aren't up to deal with it...

Also friends won't poke at spots....

Do you have some reason to think that your bad experiences in the chat rooms are a result of your new job? And not because of some problem inherent in the chat rooms themselves? Just going from what you wrote above, there's no obvious connection between the two.

Also (and probably more importantly), hugs.

No, I was just correlating the mood with the only new thing I've been doing in the past two days.
