Just a moment ago, I was seized by an irrational urge to lie down (lay down? Damn it all) on the floor, and scream. I do not think this was connected to anything in particular, but here are contributing factors:
1) weather.com completely blows. I shall not even do it the honor of creating an actual link to it. This morning, it told me that today was going to be sunny, and warm. High of 79 degrees, it said. So I did what I have never done before, and I wore (gasp) flip-flops to work. I thought they would be appropriately summery. Or springy. Either way. Instead, everything is completely clouded over, and windy and chilly. Oh, and rainy. Rainy Plus Flip-Flops. And it still is trying to tell me that it is in the 70s out there, which my skin can tell you is certainly not the case. Stupid weather.com.
2) Work completely blows. We have a release due out at the end of the week, which normally, with normal people, means "Stop adding new things! Polish what you have!" My immediate boss does not believe this to be the case, and he keeps assigning bugs for me to fix. This has two effects: First, it creates a whole bunch of new work on top of things I already need to do. Second, it makes it look like I have more bugs than should, in reality, be called "bugs." They are not things that I have done wrong and need to repair -- they are new things that I have to be a superstar and add in.
3) My sandwich totally had pieces of gross chicken in it. Bleargh. (Note: I do not mean "gross chicken," I mean "gross chicken.") I hate biting down on gristle. Hhhhhuuukk.
4) I am not on a beach right now. Petty, I know. But I really would like to be on a beach right now. One that is not cold and rainy. Or, at least, somewhere that is not here.
(Post-script: The estimable Doghigh has recently informed me that today is Free Ice Cream Cone At Ben And Jerry's Day! This has the dual effects of a) making me feel slightly cheerier, and b) giving my junk-food-junkie tapeworm something to look forward to. I am currently accepting suggestions to name my tapeworm. Please try to come up with something better than "Tapey McEaterworm." Anyone?)
