How often do you get just soooo fed up with the same daily routine day after day, week after week, and month after month? It seems like it happens to me about once every three or four months. I think I hit that point again last week sometime. I get to work and instead of being able to motivate myself to do some actual work, I’m more likely to just sti at my desk and stare of blankly. I realize this is actually the same work ethic one of my office mates has, but at the same time, I like to think I’m usually a little more dedicated. I don’t want to admit that it has anything to do with Animal Crossing, but it might. Does it matter? Maybe I just latched onto Animal Crossing because it was a much more pleasant option. I’m thinking of staying home after lunch again today because my new lab tech is so on the ball I’m actually feeling like I can leave the office for more than an hour at a time. I’m not so afraid that the lab is going to crash and burn.

Day 1:
The week leading up to this trip was a horrible one. A fight with Heather, a depressing trip to Best Buy, a medicore Gaming session with a new character, a frustrating day at work, a very difficult time at packing and finally a late night trying to put music on the Clie, that resulted in no luck what-so-ever. I only hope that the first two days of the week do not represent the week itself. I’ve been looking forward to this trip for a couple of months now and hope that it is at least as good as it was last year.
Well, it’s Monday again.
I had a really good weekend, spent it all with Heather and had some really good nights. Simple things that we don’t do often enough. I didn’t really want to come to work this morning but I have some things I need to get done before faculty come back tomorrow.
Well, here I am in the lab again…
This time there’s really nothing bad about it. One of my students changed their schedule which usually annoys me but this time it’s amazing, he changed his schedule and solved about five other scheduling problems. I realized it this morning in the shower and about dropped the soap. Fortune has decided to smile down upon me.
(you know, it’s like some people don’t want your help even when they desperately need it)
Well, it’s the first day of classes here on campus, and while that doesn’t mean that much to me, it does have some bearing on my work. It’s the first day all the students come back and start filling the hallways. That’s obvious to me since my office is at the end of a narrow hallway with three major classrooms in it. When classes are changing it’s nearly impossible to get to the office, especially if you’re actually moving anything. I had to move 15 monitors this morning from the lab to the office and there were people in the way the entire time. What a pain.
Today’s been a pretty good day so far. I don’t feel as old as I thought I would. Actually, I guess I don’t really feel as old as I have the last few days.
I was hoping my new parts for my computer would have come in last night. I’m upgrading my CPU (and MotherBoard) and adding some RAM (another 512MB). But they’ll probably come in tonight because I don’t have time to put it all together. I’m looking forward to Ben’s game tonight, but it’s going to be wierd playing it at Craig’s. I’m so used to playing FS at my place, I really enjoy it. Plus, heather likes it when people come over, even when it’s just to play games she doesn’t care anything about.
Tired, so tired today. Had a good weekend, started my Temple game at Derek’s (http://pelovish.com/dnd/temple) and watched Rush Hour 2. Also we rented Saving Silverman. Damn that movie was a lot better than I had expected (Neil Diamond – WOOOO!!!). Anyway, today’s been dreary. It rained this weekend and that makes me happy, end of the drout and all, but it’s made my Monday pretty dreary.
I decided this morning on the way to work, that the reason I don’t do as many creative things as I’d like is because most of my creativity is centered around the computer in some way. Designing things on the computer, or editing images or video. And while 100% of my job is computers, and 50% of my leisure time is also computers, it’s like I need to find some leisure time away from the computer. Unfortunately that’s not very likely. I mean I guess I could work on it but it seems a futile effort.
I can’t answer why any questions as to how I found out about LiveJournal, why I even started, or why I want people to see what I’m thinking, but maybe it’s the exhibitionist in me. At any rate, here I am and I can not say that I will post anything interesting or even regularly. I’m pretty good about being excited about something when I first find out about it and slowly becoming disinterested.
