my goodness, is it ever Monday...
Jun. 16th, 2008 01:12 pmI think I marginally prefer getting the news about the Celtics from my neighbor at 6:00 the morning after the game, rather than getting a running commentary on the coaching and the officiating in the fourth quarter (circa 11:00). It doesn't really help that basketball is my least favorite sport. Perhaps I should have kept the windows shut instead of opening them again when it stopped raining.
Today I seem to be disgruntled, for no other reason than I'm tired of being me. Not that I want to be anybody else, but I'm tired of doing absolutely everything myself, because it means I never get everything done. Just once I'd like to have enough energy, willpower and time at the same time to get all the way through a list.
If nothing else, J being on maternity leave has proved to me that I work best when given a list of stuff to do and then being left alone to do it, or when working closely with one person. I've been working closely with two people since February, and it's driving me insane. Even though they do talk to each other on a regular basis, they want the same thing done different ways and I can't please both of them at once. Add to that the fact that June is horrendously busy (somehow we got 10 committee meetings shoehorned into one month) and the July SOP meeting is already a monster, and I feel like curling up under my desk and whimpering until it all goes away.
Maybe I'd better go buy a balloon. Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon.
