Another eerie horoscope. Of course, this could apply to anyone who works:

The past week has been busy, varied and full of choices. As such, you've been hitting it hard for a while now, doing your job, and someone else's, too -- and that's just in the department of work. Home and family, friendships and money matters have also been quite taxing, if you'll pardon the pun. Believe it or not, though, someone has seen what you've done, and the recognition you deserve -- the recognition you never asked for or though of -- is en route. Kudos!

"Doing your job, and someone else's, too" sounds like an understatement. Try two someone else's. I still love what I do though but I must admit that the low morale is affecting me.

I'm trying to re-focus, as Bill suggests, but when I look around at the faces of most of my coworkers, it's difficult. Being an empath is challenging around negative energy. I've tried to block it out but it ain't working so good. No, suh.

Seems like most everyone is down. Walking down the hall, I passed by Alex and said hello. You don't need to be psychic to know that he's way down. It was plastered across his face. I got my theories on that. His face looked so defeated, it was disheartening. That was yesterday.

*Sigh*

My room is down. I asked Kevin to do something and he brought up a good point: there is a limit to people. To everyone. My kudos to Jeff for trying to help Brad smile. That story about his friend in that room with that girl was just the laugh we all needed. Excellent job. He's pretty sensitive to people around him too. I'm not surprised. We were, afterall, brought up similarly. It's only our dispositions that are different. I feel like I can read his mind.

So morale is down. I'm trying to be more positive but it ain't working. There are ebbs and flows, peaks and valleys. The only thing I can do is listen. And I've been doing a lot of that.
