It was worth trying

At the end of the week I will be ending my work assignment.  Really, I took it just to see if I could handle an office position again.  Answer:  No.

On one hand, I feel let down with myself.  It's not the work - I love the work.  For someone like me, it's fun.  If I could do my work in a room with a door, I'd be more than fine.  But in the middle of a cubicle farm I'm just not able to handle it.  So, it's back to where I was four weeks ago, with a little more knowledge about my limits.  And a small amount of pocket change.  So for an experiment it's not such a bad thing.

I'm working hard on remaining peaceful.  It's more difficult than it sounds.  There are things swirling around me that I don't understand, but I'm going to let them swirl without taking action until I understand in fullness.  I'm happy in certain ways, worried in others, and just a tiny bit afraid.  Relaxing my defenses a bit so that I can experience these feelings and grok them to the best of my ability.

Maybe I can write some small bits of it as fiction - it's all too strange to be true.
