Twice in the last week I’ve been either evaluated or criticized for my performance in some aspect of my life and both times have come up lacking.

So a day that starts out tired and cold can end up with a fit of depression and angst. I remember these days. I don’t think its the rain, I’ve been feeling like this for a few days, and in fact if anything, the rain is only improving my mood by making me feel just in my decision to be depressed again.
I love the cold though, so there is that.

It’s Raining!
I love the rain, I love the cold, I don’t know why the hell I live in Texas where there are no seasons and no precipitation except for about three days out of the year!

Burnt out again…
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.
Well, it’s back to LiveJournal. I have a really good, long time friend, that has decided to start doing a Blog, so I thought I’d get back to it so at least he’s not alone in the world (okay, so he already has more readers than me, big deal).

I’m really bad at writing entries in here. It’s not like it’s a requirement or anything, it’s just supposed to be here for my own edification in the future.

There are a lot of things going on at work and it’s really stressing us out. We all have to tread a bit more gently around eachother. But, at the same time, Brandon is visiting, and that’s been pretty cool. It’s nice to think that he actually wanted to spend time at our house with us.
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.
Well, crap. My week isn’t getting much better, but the optomist in me says it’s not getting much worse. It’s at least levelling out at generally crappy rather than plummeting into complete ass. If you read Rich’s journal (he’s my only friend on here at this time) you’ll notice that he bought Heather’s car. I imagine we’ll be going out to eat tonight. It’s nice to have money again, even when it comes in large part from a friend buying your crap… speaking of which… Julian still intends to buy my old cast off computer parts. Maybe I’ll get him to pick them up this weekend or something.
