The emotions are swirling around the office and beyond like nobody's business. At this point, everyone seems drained as we constantly careen from mad to sad to angry to frustrated to nervous to scared to happy to dead inside to resentful to bewildered and all around and back again and everything in between. There were heads on desk, constant moans of exasperation. And that's including people not even directly involved in the drama.
I think my brain pressed the numb button at some point. It's like that pain response one's body does when it's attacked, it just knows to shut down and spare the suffering. Yeah, it's going to hurt later and take a lot of time to repair, but if it didn't shut down one would probably die. My mind is taking as much as it can in and just refusing to process it. I'll be talking and suddenly start blabbering or be on the verge of tears or get angry or be speechless because I don't know how to clear up the different streams of emotions and information I've been a part of in the last day.
At this point, it seems like everyone is settling with unhappiness or going to be forced with settling with it. No one is going to walk away from this ordeal a winner. Everyone is being punished, even though most of the situation involved only a small percent of maliciousness.
Two expressions have been coming to mind lately:
"Be careful what you wish for," and "You reap what you sow."
