It started with my coworker, one that I usually don't see that often as they usually work short evening shifts. So if I do see this coworker, it's usually only briefly as I'm clocking out and they're clocking in.
But for the past week, they've been working longer shifts, which means our shifts have overlapped by a few hours.
Which isn't a big deal, usually it's great to have overlapping shifts.
Only, I've found it difficult to be around this coworker.
Because of the type of energy they're giving off.
It's just hard to tolerate it, especially when I've had low energy levels all week.
Normally this isn't hard to avoid. Just go do other things and stay away from the coworker.
But the coworker has been in a chatty mood all week, and likes to stick nearby to talk.
Which again isn't a bad thing...
Only, every time I see the coworker, they end up telling me the same four stories they told me the previous shift.
And after a fourth or fifth repeat....it gets a little antagonizing.
Which it did, today, when the coworker brought up their favorite topics again.
I wasn't in the mood to deal with it. I already was low on energy.
and so I found myself with an ache behind my eyes.
Which I tried to head off by taking meds and a brief nap later on, but no good.
It still lingers, probably because I'm still tense by something or another. Other minor issues and such.
