As an opening thought: There is only one side to any story, that being the side that you perceive.

I have no urge to update this journal. On the one hand, most of my precious words are devoted to my writing, these days; I produce what I can at work, and when I return home I force myself to spend time in games and other recreation that I can't partake of while at work. This leads to little energy and effort directed to the formulation of entries that, frankly, no one cares about.

On the other hand, everything I ever post is negative, because my life is a nonstop stream of negativity. Today I worked my third twelve hour shift in a row, and third day out of twelve straight (which includes *five* twelve hours shifts in a row, Saturday through Wednesday). A massive computer downtime tripled my work for a span of about three hours, and they're introducing a new duty for us that basically doubles my workload, while leaving most of the rest of my coworkers unaffected.

And this is not the worst thing that has happened to me of late.

So I'm shutting down. I'll post again the next time something GOOD happens to me. Until then, anyone who actually cares knows how to keep track of me if they want. See you later.
