whiner


Thanks to confusing life events and my hormone levels, today is Mope Day.

Life is fine outside the little box I've locked myself in (correct my grammar and die) for right now, so don't assume I'm unhappy or discontent. Things are okay. But today... today I need to whine. And just by coming here, you've volunteered to be my audience.

Things I feel like complaining about today:

+ Work/Lack of Work
I'm still bored at work. I mean, come on. I know these things work in cycles, but it's been since February, and I've had enough. I want to feel like I have some sort of purpose when I sit down at my desk. I don't want to feel like I'm just part of the decor.
+ Summer's almost over.
Not that I had a break or anything, but it's still disheartening to know that the long sunny days are going to change before too long. And more importantly, my nemesis--ragweed--will soon be hitting the fields and I'll be a sniffling mess.
+ Drama Among Friends
For some reason, I was assuming this drama stuff goes away once you hit a certain age. I thought it was reserved for my 7th grade youth-group girls, but apparently not. There's still gossip and drama, and we've had a bit of it lately in my circle of friends, which is starting to really get on my nerves. I mean, jeez. Let's be almost-30, okay?
+ Useless Mid-Year Reviews
Had mine the other day. 'Nuff said.
+ Gray Hairs
Justin pulled about 6 of them out of my head this morning. What? Aren't I still pretty young? What is up, Bio Clock? What are you trying to pull?
+ Lame Traffic Patterns and Construction
Apparently at some point, this disaster at Polaris is going to make things better for us. What I'd like to know is when. For about 30 seconds, I really enjoyed that I could use Gemini to get on Orion, but suddenly it takes 18 hours to turn left from Orion in the afternoon, so now I have to go the long way home every day. Queer.
+ MySpace and the Need for Speed
Can it get any slower? I mean, really.
+ The Increasing Size of My Butt
Someone chase me with an axe or something. Then maybe I'd get some exercise. Take away my Cheez-Its, too. Is there really such a thing as willpower?
+ I have to pee right now and I don't feel like getting up.
Got that one?
+ New Friends Disappearing
My newest work e-mail buddy is leaving. It was brief, Mark, but it was fun. Now there's no one with whom to discuss theological matters while I ought to be reading science.
+ Unclear Boundaries
What a pain. I don't think I have the patience for it anymore. About done, really.

Okay. Good enough for now, I guess. Maybe I'll come back later for another therapy session.

Thanks for tuning in.

	Hey, we can discuss theological matters! BTW, I like the frame-less layout. Much easier to read in a 2"X2" browser window :) (Reply to this) (Thread)
