I'm sorry.
I'm trying to maintain my 'Tuesday again? No problem" headspace. It takes some effort.
Maybe lunch is a good idea.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm trying to remind myself that even if I have more time than needed, this week, that DOESNT mean I can just say screw it all, I do still have work to be done. Just because I'm not insanely busy doesn't mean I can entirely stop working!! Ugh. So tempting though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've spent at least a half-hour today waiting for a meeting with a higher-up. I really should have spent that time doing something else! But twice it's been "just another minute," and then why would I start doing something else, right? Oy.

That's so aggravating.
Do I go ahead and set up this conference call that only people from my company have RSVPd for, or do I wait for someone at the customer to say they are coming? I moved it after a one of the customer people told me my original time was bad, and no one has done that for this time yet...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
This morning, my "shit I didn't say" file kind of overflowed and turned into a "shit I did say to my walking buddy and then kept talking about when a partner got into the elevator with us" file.
Oops.

Ah well. Sometimes that's exactly the right thing to do.

it felt good, in any case.
I should maybe work on my attitude though.

Well, let's not be hasty. You have some good reasons for your attitude, don't just discard it without due consideration.

Dang, this excel crash is taking an unusually long time to restart. I wonder what I did this time.

I had put in a few weeks ago to change from the 2-10 Sunday shift back to Monday through Friday, because getting home that late on Sunday was just wrecking my sleep for the first half of the week. I've been kind of regretting the change, because I really love having Friday off. Just now, my supervisor asked if I'd be willing to take the 9-5 backup shift on Sunday until I shift to M-F, and I said I wouldn't mind making that the regular shift. Just had it confirmed, five days a week of near-identical work shifts, this should help my sleep immensely.
