>>I have been also puzzled by what Naomi said. Probably it is a word play; in Russian the word "last" have also the meaning "previous" if you are in the "next" year already. But we are not yet there... From another point of view, I frequently do not understand what Naomi wants to say. So, let us wait for her explanation.

Then it is sad.
If it is job related, then you got a virus, and you need to get rid of it. Here is how:

*---------------------
There is a dangerous virus being passed electronically, orally and by
hand.

This virus is called Worm-Overload-Recreational-Killer (or as it's
commonly known - WORK).

If you receive WORK of any kind from any of your colleagues, your boss
or anyone else via ANY means DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out
your private/social life completely. If you should come into contact
with WORK, follow these instructions:

1. Put on your jacket
2. Take 2 friends to the nearest bar.
3. Purchase the antidote known as Work-Isolator-Neutralizer-Extractor
(or as it's commonly called - WINE).
4. Ingest the antidote orally in 6-8 oz doses repeatedly until WORK has
been completely eliminated from your system.

PLEASE forward this warning to 5 friends. If you do not have 5 friends,
you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life!
*-------------------------------

If it is a personal issue, then I would like to be more closed friend to you to help. In any event, from my ages and from my experience of losses and dissapointments I can assure you that the time will cure all and will help to see the past in clear and warm light.
