Something wrong? Or just my imagination?

There’s something wrong.

Well, maybe not wrong, exactly, just not quite right.

Or maybe it’s not that at all. But it certainly feels like that.

I can’t exactly put my finger on it. It’s not that anyone has said anything in particular or done anything particularly unusual but it certainly feels like something has/will happen. Soon.

Perhaps it’s the crisis? Perhaps, finally, it is having an effect?

And, apart from A, outside of work, there seems a slight change. We were discussing it last night, over dinner with An. People seem more worried about the future. None of us have children and, so, it is different, I guess. The restaurants still seem quite full, though. As I rarely go shopping (except to the supermarket), I can’t really say about the high street.

Yes, I think if I had children, I may feel differently but, as I said to An, you can’t really do anything about it so don’t worry too much. After all, if the world collapses (economically), everyone (except the very rich, maybe) will be in the same boat (or sinking ship).

So, back where we were. It all feels different. A concentration on petty (or seemingly petty) things. A tit-for-tat thing going on between management and workers. New work seems to be coming our way but is it quickly enough?

Or, of course, it’s all in my imagination.

  1. Andy, it’s not just your imagination.
    I do feel that something is wrong but I can’t tell exactely what it is. Yes, perhaps it is the crisis.

    Yesterday I got an email from a Greek friend. I am still quite shocked, to be honest. His salary has been severly cut and he is obviously stressed out about the whole situation.

    Today I feel like something is NOT right. I don’t know how to deal with it though. It is a paralyzing sense of insecurity. It seems the best way to put it.

    • Yes, it’s as if something is going to happen and the clock is ticking. Maybe it is a sense of insecurity rather than something real.

      And, last night, there was no traffic (or very little) on my drive home. I kept thinking I’d left work too early!
