First my computer nearly died, before I figured out that if I took out my battery I could coax it to start. Which gave me a chance to bring my backups up to date. Whew.
Then a blowup involving me led to a general blowup. At the end I asked for someone (and made a specific request for which someone) to be my resource manager. He didn't seem averse to the idea.
For some reason my head feels cleared and I've been working long hours. I guess part of it is that they're really mad at me and I hate for people to be mad at me, but I think the main reason was that I may have been yelled at, but at least I think they heard what I've been saying. I don't think it will lead to any lasting change - in fact the way it was resolved almost guarantees that no lasting change will occur, but temporarily at least it gave me hope. Which leads me to believe that my mental block was caused by hope-lessness.
So this is why I haven't been around much. My computer is still temperamental, plus I've *really* been putting in some long hours.
