We watched Alias for a while... and I learned about compartmentalizing. Now I recognize myself doing it a lot.

I am not so great at it as payed actors who are playacting the part of a fictional character... so it gets a little muddy. I go to work and let things from my home life affect my job performance or let office life carry over to the hours when I am home. This carryover is normal, I think. The part that is worrisome is when Church gets compartmentalized away from everything else. When that happens, I do it a little to well.

I guess the solution would be not to compartmentalize church from my home life... but, the little voice in my head says, my home life is sleeping and work life extends to Scott's work too because that's what I do... and how I can function best.

well, little voice in my head, maybe you should learn to be by yourself. Learn how to not be depressed.

ACK!It's impossible. I've tried. So there!

Ah, what's a girl with a very persuasive mind to do?!
