Not an Easy Month

missizzyMarch has been a pretty stressful month. It seems all the IT problems are occurring now, and I am continually calling our technical support or contacting someone else's. Friday I found myself frustrated trying to determine whether java or javascript was turned on in either of my browsers; I hadn't heard that it's run out of the control panel now. I really need this week off that I'm taking to go to Worlds! When I come back, I may be asked to make decisions on our newest project, though those are going to be heavily influenced by whoever I talk to that happen to have more experience with these types of things.
Meanwhile, I've been watching my way through Daredevil, except that early Sunday afternoon, after watching the first five episodes, I broke and read spoilers, and reading that the season would end with Matt and Foggy broken up upset me so much I spent much of the afternoon crying and just generally contemplating everything bad in my life, including the upcoming election. It was days before I was even able to eat normally again. It was partly a response to real life events too, I think, that just got triggered by this, but even so I'm not even sure why I reacted as badly as I did, whether it was because I've become so attached to close platonic relationships in media, whether I simply love both the characters so much(Foggy even more after this season; seriously awesomest guy who ever awesomed) and hate that they're suffering so much and not getting it fixed by the end of the season, or whether it's just dismay that this is now going to be the status quo possibly for years, since who knows when they could schedule a third season in. I am now a little less than halfway through episode 12, and expect to finish while on the train to Boston and spend much of that trip writing fic as therapy. I've in fact started a comfort piece already, half of which I can write before I finish watching, the other half which must wait.
