could a nervous breakdown really be worse?

And if the scary drive home last night weren't bad enough, today was a typically stressful day back at work, almost extraordinarily so, though what I used to think extraordinary in terms of pressure and workload sadly here has become commonplace, for all of us. A few of the contractors are having a mock pool about whom in the department will be the first to suffer a nervous breakdown. Apparently I'm one of the more likely contenders.

Oh, and it turns out that while I thought there were only two to three people here who know about the blog, there actually are quite a few more than that who know about it and read it at least occasionally. Thank goodness I haven't said anything bad about any of them... in a while.
