Someone I worked with asked me how I was, and I actually told them. Instead of “I’m fine” I gave them the short version of what’s been happening in my life. In-laws, my parents, winter blahs, both barrels.

The look I got!

I’ve written many times about how people don’t seem to grasp that I am more than a tech person; I like to eat, sleep, f-orget about things like anyone else. I do not go home to plug myself into the wall, but I do recharge at home amongst my stuff.

But it seems that I crossed a line by simply denying that everything was fine and I was fine and the day is fine and all my people are fine…when very little is fine.

Be careful asking me things; might get some of my life on ya.
