Am I OK?

[fluffymark]

I think I'm beginning to lose it. I hope not, but the signs are there. I've just shuddered at realising the number of times I've asked various people the simple question 'Are you OK?' today. In all cases many times to each person. Which is getting a bit obsessive and slightly odd. Especially as I already know the answer in all cases, even before asking them the first time. So why am I asking them? And I now realise the question I've been wanting to ask, but have been subconsciously scared of doing so, and therefore projected the object question into the second person. All the time what I've really been asking is 'Am *I* OK?'. Although nobody else spotted this psychological oddity either.
As I said, I must be going nuts.

You seemed ok to me on Sunday. Perhaps the students got to you. Students are like that, its a special talent they have. Or perhaps you're just re-treading the mind-readers greeting... you're ok, how am I?.

Aha.....but there were certain topics I was *avoiding* talking about on sunday. Thats probably why I appeared OK. You're quite right though, the students are beginning to wear on me - Like theytake up almost all my free time, so I feel like a slave right now, and have lost track of me, and who I am, as I've not time to myself.
*giggle* You're Ok, and so am I :) Thankyou, David.
