ocelotI hate it when I don't get enough sleep.
Of course, it's totally my fault. I knew I had to get up at 6:00 AM, so I shouldn't have stayed up till 11:30.
[edited because I accidently submitted before I was finished.]
The early start was due to a visit from my grandparents, who wanted to take me out for breakfast. Seeing as I have this little thing called "work", which requires me to be there in the morning, this had to be rather early.
I'm not sure whether I was good company at all, but it was nice seeing them again.
So now I'm at work, feeling unable to concentrate on anything and unproductive, and somewhat overwhelmed by the amount of stuff I have to get done. And quite annoyed with my co-worker, who has been humming all morning. I'm beginning to think it might be a good idea to get out of here and go to the office on campus. If my boss gets back here so I can reschedule my meeting with her, I'll do that. Sitting around in the office with music blaring seems appealing.
Which brings up another point of irritation. When they were ordering the new computers, they asked if I wanted a sound card in such a way that I felt they were implying I shouldn't get one. So I didn't. But everyone else did. *grumble*
My co-worker/good friend got a different job, so he'll be leaving. Actually, he's still working for the University, and even the same organization. Just not the same department, so he'll be on campus instead of at the building we're currently at. So I won't be able to see him as often. It disturbs me how much this bugs me, and how much of my (slight) happiness with this job was because he was around.
He said he was recommending me as his replacement, though, which could make things interesting around here.
It does bring to mind the question of why I stay in this position. I'm largely not happy with what I'm doing, I'm not learning as much as I could be, and I'm not earning as much as I could be. Loyalty or something.
I'm feeling tempted to go back to the IRC channel I left for various reasons, mostly revolving around the presence of my ex, which tended to turn me into a neurotic lunatic. I decided it wasn't good for me, which is probably true. But it's also the place where many of my good friends are, with, on average, much more interesting and intelligent conversation than any other channel I go to.
But I've been gone less than a week. I can't capitulate this fast :)
Time to get something done.
