The announcement of bad news

How do you deal with the announcement of bad news when you yourself are having a rather black day and have no idea why?

I recieved some rather appualing news that is making the pit of my stomach do flipflops.....and I myself are having a rather blah day...could be something to do with the really, really bleak, never changing weather and a few other pressuring (?) things happening around me...or it might not...who knows?

I immediately rang the person it was happening to and tried to express my empathy (?) and just became a stumbling, bumbling mess. Thankgod for facebook where the staff members can comment on these things and we can write a short reply. Luckily alot of people are disgusted as much as I am and as surpirsed aswell.

I have had to deal with people fishing for information and I have had to tell them straight, not my place....do your own fishing elsewhere! It is not a nice feelings being a centre of turmoil, not knowing what will come out of left field next.

Bring on a therapudic shop - like that will really help- and see what the weekend brings......school carnival complete with happy, smiling, I love my job fake face....oh the joys!
