Peppermint, I don’t think that therapists are for lunatics.

The Western part of my state has been devoid of a lot of things for several years. The closest thing I can think of that we have in town is someone that I work with, who supposedly “fixes” addiction issues for defendants.

Closest town of any significance is ~120 miles away to the East and/or to the South (smaller than the one I live in). Closest town of any significance (depending on how you define significance) to the West is ~200-250 miles away. Closest town of significance to the North is ~140 miles away in Canada.

I think that the colleague was surprised. My time at the office has been up this week; hit 40 hours before this afternoon. Got assigned to help solve some problems, the previous person who was supposed to do so is the guy who is dating one of the women I had been interested in. Unsurprisingly, he was gone by about 5:30 every day this week.

Have given some serious thought to changing jobs.
