work blues

I've been having trouble managing my feelings again. The other day in work I felt so bad I left and went out to sit on the grass and look at the trees - the nearest place to do this to the office is a little grassy island surrounded by roads. There's traffic noise but you can sit on the plinth of a statue there, watch the trees blowing in the wind and people watch.

A man shouted "are you alright love?" at me as he walked past - I said I was ok. He walked a bit further, turned back and shouted "do you want a cigarette?" I said no, I'd quit but it cheered me up. Still had to go back to work though.
