Around 3pm this afternoon, I searched my office for a garbage can or some type of bucket.
.
I could feel my brain melting....and being the tidy sort....thought the least I could do was find something to collect my cortical matter.
.
If you asked me my name....I'm sure I would have paused.
.
Monday.....my first day at my new job....I left the building buzzed....confident I could handle everything.......today....I slinked out....leaking gray matter. It's like the learning curve suddenly turned into the learning mountain.
.
When the low gas icon blinked at me in the car.... I actually sat there staring at the orange light..... as if some alien creature was waving at me from the dashboard. Gas....Gina....Go Get Gas.
.
I read an article a while back that postulated..... when you learn lots of new things quickly.....your brain cells fling new connections at adjoining cells........like hands reaching out to shake other hands.....so ...I may not be suffering from melted brain syndrome but fuzzy brain syndrome......with too many little hands trying to shake too many other little hands.
.
I'm going to head down to the kitchen and pour myself a tall glass of wine.....maybe I can make all these excited little hands go limp for the evening.
.
They can all regroup and get friendly in the morning.
