Random, free-floating anxiety
September 10th, 2006 9:26pmThe past few days there’s been an unending, unavoidable stream of 9/11 anniversary coverage. Thankfully, I wasn’t personally touched by the day’s events any more than most people out here in California. But in between all the usual running around and tasks of daily life, I’m finding a I’m carrying a residual layer of dissociated free-floating anxiety. Nothing specific, just a general, strong feeling of ill-being and unease when I stop and check in with myself.
This is surprising to me. Those of you who know me in person know I’m not superstitious, I’m not terribly excitable in a crisis and tend toward focusing on the facts and options at hand, looking for a path forward. So this is just weird.
I see that the HP board flap is on the cover of this week’s Newsweek. But personally I think last week’s deal in Pakistan is a much bigger issue.
