It's one of those sorts of misanthropic days. I actually am really enjoying the book I started last night, but I don't want to read it, dammit. And I don't want to do crossword puzzles, which of course is my go-to bored-at-work activity. I feel like complaining too, and I can't tell you why, as I seemingly have absolutely nothing to complain about. It's a four-day week, I'm headed for donuts and Little Bavaria, Michigan on Friday, and I still just want to sit on the couch and bitch.
It's getting so dire I'm thinking about buying a beret and smoking Gauloises while drinking copious amounts of red wine in a Bistro. And then I would of course have to purse my lips and say, "You people make my ass twitch" in an atrocious French accent.
Yes, I'm in a bad mood. When I think about eating the lunch I brought to work, I feel sad. When I think about going off-campus to get food, I get even sadder, because the parking situation here is insane. When I think about working the reference desk, I feel mad, but when I think about just sitting at my desk feeling infused with a sense of ennui, I also feel mad. I'd walk over to the public at lunch, but then I'd be out in the heat. And I'm wearing a cardigan that absolutely must stay on. So no public.
Also, I have to pee but really don't feel like dealing with that in the least. I mean, the bathroom on this floor is a pain in the ass because the lock barely works, and yet if you don't lock it (which is my only chance of getting out of it in a timely fashion; otherwise, I'll struggle with the lock for 10 minutes and frustratedly begin to cry. Not that that's happened before or anything.), people get mad at you. There's a stall in the bathroom, people! You're not going to see my snatch if you walk in there. But no, it's some major breach of etiquette to not lock, which means I have to trek downstairs and use that bathroom, and that feels like too much effort right now.
Ok, I have to go watch the desk. Grrrr.
Oh my hell, I burst out laughing at the second paragraph. And in sympathy, I totally had that day yesterday. So bitch on, my friend, that's what I say.
