A quote from my self pitying diary that cracks me up whenever I read it is:

I'm always the girl the guys come to for help! Why is this? I guess I have "dumpy asexual helper type friend" written all over my face.

Work is dull. Most of the office called in sick or are away for the day at meetings and the like. The other student who works here has been keeping me slightly amused: I've taken to recording his breaks because he seems to be away from his desk than actually in in it. I'm having trouble concentrating because none of the work I'm doing is urgent. I work best when I have a deadline, even if that means hurrying and staying overtime to complete it. Not having a deadline, or even specific work to do is aggravating.

I'm going away this weekend, to Cedarholm chalet on White Lake. I'm really looking forward to the time away. I'm going with 7 other people, but 6 of them are in couples so I'm sure I'll have alone time to think. I need it. I don't think I'll be going online on Friday or Saturday so it'll be nice to be forced into taking a break...I think.

I'm feeling, well melancholy seems too strong a word. "Blah" is a better word. Or "dreary", "humdrum", "unspirited"...

I blame the weather.
