I forgot my headphones at home, so naturally everyone is irritating and loud, and there are landscapers outside.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I was planning to come in early today and just attack the giant pile of work on my desk, but I woke up feeling so awful from allergies that I took my temperature, which of course was normal.
I would have called in sick, but a) giant pile of work, and b) I said I'd be in office today to pick up a package for a coworker. I only just dragged myself into the office. I'm feeling petulant and my desire to do any work approximately is negative eleventy billion.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Whenever I have iced coffee it brings on such a strong sense-memory of my father. He could drink it all day long. Which, speaking of coffee, at Peets now taking advantage of the free wifi. Wish me writing!

I want to call in annoyed. This stupid loaner laptop is a piece of crap. Actually I've called in frustrated to my boss and he is trying to see what he can do to get an ETA from IT on getting my computer back. I'm just so DONE. And the idea of a nap is so enticing.

Because books.
Or make iced tea with my hippie fruit tea.
I thought of you today, Steph -- we're going to start carrying locally made kombucha!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Now I'm contemplating if I should go buy decaf for the sole purpose of making some cold-brew
That's what I'm doing this weekend! Next week I will be taste testing cold brewed TJ's decaf against freshly ground Stumptown decaf made in a French press to evaluate whether I should change my daily coffee making system. My job really should harness more of my potential for this sort of thing.
I'm feeling petulant and my desire to do any work approximately is negative eleventy billion.
Me too! For no particular reason, though. Unless my knee being sore and everything being hard count as reasons.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Monday was a holiday, but I've spent three of the four working days this week in SOFTWARE PRESENTATIONS. They are FINALLY done ... about 2:00 today I reached the "kill me now" point, but now I'm done, I'm going home at my official quitting time, meeting a friend for coffee, going home to an air conditioned apartment, and getting my hair done tomorrow morning. yay!

I am applying coffee and music to try and lift my bad mood. I officially have too much work to avoid it, which I guess is a good thing?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am getting shit done! Sadly, my Sunday deadline will actually be met on Sunday, but I think with just an hour of work at home. (I need feedback from someone who is busy...)
But jesus, am I cranky! Not enough sleep, and trying to train a new person is killing me.
