AAAGH<\/p>\n<p>I am not really stressed. I&#8217;m just tired and I can&#8217;t breathe and my throat hurts and I keep coughing when I try to carry on a conversation but I can&#8217;t take a day off to be sick in peace because work is kicking my butt and I&#8217;ll have a WEEK OFF starting in 2 days so quit&#8217;cher bitchin&#8217; already, Liz and get over yourself.<\/p>\n<p>*gets over self*<\/p>\n<p>*moves on*<\/p>\n<p>*looks around for pillow*<\/p>\n<p>Hee! <\/p>\n<p>In other, more cheerful, and not nearly as whiny news, I have a huge office to myself now, as my office-mate has moved out, although he has left behind giant piles of crap that I suspect he thinks he can just leave here and they will either magically disappear or be cleaned up by a woman. Namely, me. To which he will be learning that I&#8217;m not in the mood for THAT either.<\/p>\n<p>My desk has been lowered to 65 centimeters off the floor, which means I&#8217;m very low to the ground, sitting up straight, with both hands in front of me, warding off the cryk, who is still hanging about, asking me things like, &#8220;Hey. Hey, you gonna sit like that? Hey&#8230;hey, you gonna sit with one leg under you again so that you lean to the left and pull on your shoulder juuuuuusssst a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitle bit? C&#8217;mon, please? Just for a few minutes.&#8221; Begone, cryk! Get thee, er, behind me! Way behind!<\/p>\n<p>Do you know that last December I read a whopping total of 3 books? Even considering one of them was 3x the size of a regular paperback that is a pretty sad total for a month when I commonly average 10. This December? The month we&#8217;re in right now, of which said month the date is the 22nd, meaning that there is only about another week to go? I&#8217;ll be lucky to have finished the book I&#8217;m reading by then, and it&#8217;s only the SECOND BOOK. What? You don&#8217;t care? No. I didn&#8217;t think so really, but I&#8217;m not in the mood to worry about it.<\/p>\n<p>*wishes for covers to put head under*<\/p>\n<p>*goes back to work instead*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am just not in the mood.
