A thread where we can have a moan if we want

[Poetrypatty]

I thought it might be useful. I don't know about you but I'm trying not to moan at home and to keep some kind of 'Christmas spirit' for the dcs benefit but it's all really rubbish isn't it, this unexpected turn of events with Omicron, and things getting cancelled. Have a little moan on this thread if it helps

That's a lot to deal with TravellingSpoon

Boss being grumpy and ignoring me in front of others, causing them to be embarrassed. Is usually okay but gets stressed at this time of year and doesn't engage with me, which is awks for others but I just think he's being a dick. Tried only speaking when absolutely have to but he likes things done his way so have to ask :(

Couldn't get into Christmas spirit earlier in the month due to work pressures, now too close to not panic over stuff and everything we had pre-arranged is being cancelled or feels like a bad idea. This weekend toddler has done 2 positive lateral flows and a negative pcr, waiting for next pcr results to figure out what to do, rest of us negative on everything so far. Feel like crap, pissed off with everything and everyone. On top of that have horrific cringy crush on a newish gorgeous and very unavailable coworker (which I am too btw) which I just cannot seem to get a grip over and frankly I'm alternating between loving the lovely fantasy escape moments and cursing myself for the whole thing! I know it's all just my brain going overboard with escapism from stress but honestly, argh!

Blimey, that feels better just to write it - cannot share with anyone in real life obvs. Thanks for the thread OP!

So sorry for your loss @bloodyhoodedeyes - that sounds so stressful. I think you need a long bath!
