This is going to sound kind of bad but I think I'd be more okay with being single now than I was in the months before I got in a relationship.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be as satisfied with my life as I am now. But before I was arguably in a worse place than I realized. Being out of college and not having dating be a constant and implicitly mandatory element of one's surroundings helps with perspective.

This is something more and more I realized too as time went on. The dumb highschool relationship I had was nothing, and left me wanting something real and seeking that love and affection that you see all the time in shows and movies and even, ugh, anime. Like I just wanted that SO badly, to have someone to love, put all my effort and time into, and get effort and love in return, live life with, etc etc. I spent so many years glorifying this idea and making it my goal, for the first real serious girl I got with it burnt me sooooo bad. I think I've talked about it before, but she had aspergers and oh man, that made shit really difficult. (It later turned out she was fucking her cousin and her three dogs while we were dating, and got mad at her next boyfriend for breaking up with her when he found out that SHE WAS STILL DOING THAT).
but anyhow, when I was with my most recent ex, it lasted years and she let me play out that little fantasy of endless love and all the glorification I made for it. And I spent so much time striving for that, after we had a really bad falling out, it made me realize that maybe being single and doing stuff just for me isn't so bad. Maybe putting all my money into myself, and not changing my lifestyle, sleeping schedule, and everything else to fit someone else is actually kind of nice. It really made me appreciate being single. If I hadn't met her and stuff though I'm sure I'd be even worse now than I was before. I'm much more happy being single now, having experienced that amazing time, than I ever would have been before. It still hurts to think back on, and I wish the breakup would've been a bit more graceful and not full of drama, but what can you do.
Another stupid coworker story: My coworker told me that they received an email from AP with a whole spreadsheet full of billing exceptions and asked me what it meant. She forwarded me the email, which I read and also reviewed the huge spreadsheet. Apparently my coworker has been billing a bunch of customers since March of 2015 for their monthly water cooler lease fees, and some of these customers have accounts that are only set up for credit-card billing. My brilliant coworker entered all 1's for the credit card numbers. When I asked her why she did that, she said because she didn't have their credit card numbers and didn't know what else to do. So there are over 430 unpaid monthly bills dating back over 9 months for a bunch of customers that we now have to ask for full payment on. W T F ?!?!!
I'm not getting involved. When my boss gets back, I'm not going to tell her, I'm going to let the person who did it tell her. I'm going to fucking quit if she tells me to be the one to fix it. I'm not contacting these people. They're going to be furious, and I don't blame them. You can't just hand someone a huge bill for many months of service and tell them that it's all on one bill due to an error, esp when the charges go back to a previous year's budget.
