Taking some time off

likethebeerI don't know if I should have done this, but I've not been getting anything done at work. Life's not good when the alarm goes off in the morning and you yell at it in frustration. I'm in one of those moods about life lately, that it's just flying by and nothing changes. I keep going into work a little late and wanting to leave a little early. So I needed a few days to get some things done. Hopefully. I have a list here somewhere.
One of the problems with work right now is that I'm trying to prove that one part of the building changed after Wright's death. I know it did, or at least I feel it in my gut. However, I don't have enough evidence. The only pieces of evidence are something that a fellowship member said (which you can't always trust) and a floor plan (which you can't always trust). So I keep coming into work, dawdling around, opening up this document, and remembering that, oh shit, I don't know what I'm going to write or how I'm going to prove this little bit here. Then I end up closing it and trying to figure out how I'm spending the rest of my day. Makes me feel really guilty.
And I do really have to do a bunch of stuff. I want to see about getting our homeowner's insurance more locally (instead of in Midland, Michigan, where they think we're looking at the Wisconsin River, and they don't seem to comprehend that we can have a woodstove and indoor plumbing at the same time), I want to call around on chimney sweeps, and I want to check into rates on CDs. I also need a haircut b/c I'm starting to look disastrous.
On a completely unrelated note, I keep seeing this ad when I go to my hotmail account for a dating service called "update.com." It flashes pictures of guys and one of them looks like the boyfriend I had when I was a college sophomore. I keep thinking, "man, if Rob had cut his hair like that, he'd seem a lot hotter in my memory than he does." Doesn't matter anyway, since he's the asshole who slept w/5 women in our 6 months together. Asshole. Plus, it was, god, 17 years ago and there have been (a) a lot better lovers than him and (b) a lot bigger assholes than him.

Date: 2004-08-25 08:13 pm (UTC)I have been strangely productive at work today for no exact reason. Maybe it's because the larger roadblocks that I was dealing with last week were taken out of my hands because I'm taking some time off this week.
But, don't worry, September should prove to be especially trying, and I'll be around to commiserate with you then...
