And I did this a *lot* due to the fact that I hated my company and job. I spent far too much time crying and doing my nails in the restroom (I would get so upset with everything that taking a break and giving myself a manicure in a toilet stall was the only way I could get through the day sometimes) before I finally figured out an escape plan. *So* glad I'm not there any more! I still do my nails just about every day, but it has turned into an evening wind down ritual sort of thing (it forces me to sit quietly for half an hour, which is something I sometimes have problems with), not a let-me-pretend-I'm-anywhere-but-here-for-ten-minutes thing.
Awwww! This seriously broke my heart. I'm glad you're in a happier place now.
