no matter where I go or what I do, I always try to have a small sanctuary that I can flee too when I get overwhelmed. If my presences isn't required anywhere and I don't have anything else to do, I often go to these places to gather my wits.
for as long as I have known myself, I've always found places like this. Be it inside a large tree, or at a park, or in some secluded room away from the chaos outside, I am able to hide here.
at my last job, I mentioned how I spent way too much time in the bathroom, not necessarily using them, just, hiding. I hate to say it, but that habit has followed me to the fishbowl. Its mostly when I get overwhelmed during dinner or if I have nothing else to do but don't want to be given another task, I flee to one of the few bathrooms here. They are clean and comfortable, and nobody asks questions when I'm in there for a long time.
at the end of each of the hallways here, there are little sitting rooms, some have TVs, some have exercise equipment, and one even has some computers we are allowed to use on our breaks. If I'm not needed elsewhere, I tend to wander to those areas.
I know its probably not the best idea to spend most of your working hours hiding, but I try to spend as much time doing other things if I'm not needed.
I probably should go back out and face the world again, huh?
