I don't know what my problem is...my mood has turned very sour. It seemed like things were going my way during the drive into work this morning - almost too good! I made every light and where I normally have to sit and wait for the construction guy to give me the "SLOW" sign, I cruised right through. I knew something bad was bound to happen. I'm just not sure exactly what it is. I just know I am in a bad mood and everything is getting on my nerves this morning! The guy making the slurpy/sucking noise is STILL at it and I can't get my music loud enough to drown it out! I'm getting annoyed with my job and everything related to it. I couldn't get through to a stupid conference call yesterday, I can't find the new helpdesk number so that I can call in to get my laptop upgraded, it's taking 5 zillion years to connect to our employee website. Ugh! I think I am just tired of traveling. I just want to quit. Or work from home (wherever home is now). I want to be closer to my friends. I don't fit in here at work. Don't get me wrong, most of the people are nice, but I just don't have a lot in common with them other than the fact that we are all stuck here together. I can't make friends outside of work because I either fly somewhere else on the weekends (when I actually have time to socialize) or I don't commit to anything because I think this project is going to end any day. For the last two years I've thought this project was going to end at the end of each month (well, that's what *they* keep telling me). And at the end of each month I get extended. I would have taken a class here or done some volunteer work had I known I was going to be in Austin for so long. I can't even commit to anything at home because I never know if I might have to stay in Austin for the weekend. I love Austin, but I miss having a social life. If my friends would move here I'd be happier. I'd also be fine with moving back near my friends. Sorry about this complaining. I don't blame anyone if they quit reading this gripe after the first sentence. I just had to let it out. posted by kristar 10:51 AM
