Stop the World Please, I'd Like to Get Off

I am exhausted. This is apparently our 'slow time' and honestly, I am barely keeping it together.

Last week started with one of our senior people resigning. This week is looking like we are going to lose more people; my boss has 'chats' scheduled and I have no idea what that means.

I am confident in my position and know that my work is exemplary; I have no fear of being told I am no longer needed. I am doing my best to keep everyone positive and level-headed and to be honest, I am not sure that that is part of my job.

I have always sought to make sure that things are calm and that people are happy. Lately though, there has been a cloud over the office that I cannot get rid of despite my best intentions. 

In the end things will either get better or not with the senior person leaving. Perhaps with less stress in the office, we can all go back to doing our jobs. I know I'd like that. I am not a fan of drama, especially when it can be avoided.

I am also going to start drinking at work. That should be a thing.
