I'm having a sort of feeling down kind of day, but not a feeling sorry for myself kind of day; it's more raging against the proverbial machine than against myself, which I suppose is healthier. Self-loathing is not really useful, and it's not really honest either. I don't actually loathe myself in any way. (I do strongly dislike the fact that I don't understand how to dress myself properly or wear makeup or be a girl, but those are just small embarrassments, not life-threatening problems).
So anyway -- I felt the need to record some thoughts because of my gloomy day. Work is particularly tedious right now, though I won't get into specifics. You can ask if you really care to know, but I can promise that you'll really be sorry you did because I will talk at length and even bring props to illustrate my complaints. :-) Okay, just one specific complaint: fire alarm testing day is not my favorite day (and, actually, they've been testing the fire alarms every few weeks since the summer)!
I've just been sighing a lot today and sending emails with that little "top priority" exclamation point selected. Just feeling a little neglected and melancholy is all.
*One last random note before I go collate some more documents (wait, don't they have photocopiers that do that?!): in standing at my office window collating documents, I saw two hilarious things in the space of about 1 minute (it's market day, so that must lend to the interestingness on the street)... 1. a fat cowboy wearing a parka walked sassily by in black platform boots that HAD to be women's! 2. a shiny van for some business that I can't even remember the name of 4 minutes later pulled up to the light; it had a small picture of a very realistic cow on the side with the slogan "our business depends on udders." It made me giggle, but I couldn't grab my phone fast enough to shoot a picture.
*Sigh* The fire alarm is going off again for about the 14th time today, and my nerves are shot.
