it's so hard being us

Sheldon, upon hearing that the people upstairs are moving out:

"The horror! The horror!"

Penny: "Sheldon, I'm sure it's going to be fine."

"No, it's not going to be fine! Change is never fine! They say it is, but it's not."

As I was watching BBT this morning before going to my work Christmas party, I couldn't help but completely 100% sympathize with Sheldon (shocking, I know) on this. It's so very very true. I then went on to watch a few more episodes, then got ready and went to work.
I got there, walked into the dining room, and stopped dead in my tracks. In my head I was yelling, "The horror!"
As from a far distance, I vaguely heard a voice, "Hi, Melilot!" Not registering what was being said, I looked around the room again. The horror was still there. The tables were arranged in a different order than they usually are for parties. Where on earth was I supposed to sit?! My co-workers were still working, so none of them had sat down yet, so I had to decide what to do with the fact that the table where we normally sit was now taken up by the serving line.
"Hi, Melilot!" Still not registering. What on earth! Where was I supposed to go? Finally another voice (the Activities Director, no less). "Hi, Melilot, how are you?" "I don't know! It's all wrong!" "What?" "The tables! That's not how they go!" "It's okay, Melilot, you can sit somewhere else." "But where? I don't know what to do!" "I don't know. It will be fun." "No! No, it won't be. I was just watching BBT, and Sheldon said that change is bad and he's right! And I'm Sheldon!" "What?" "Do you ever watch BBT? I'm Sheldon!" "Whoa. You are." "Yes!"
Finally I forced myself to stop panicking and looked around. I chose the table closest to where our spot usually is and put my jacket down. Then I went into the kitchen and complained to the cook. "Well, did you pick a table for us?" he asked, somewhat frantically. "Yes, but that's not the point! It's all wrong! I can't handle this."
But in the end, I survived. Although I only won a picture frame. It better be back to normal next year.
