lame, lamenting, & venting

a short list of things I find unsatisfactory today:

• the amount of sleep I got last night.
• the number of places to buy small vegetarian snacks in the central west end.
• the notice given by my landlord of the upcoming improvements to my building.
• the new ad placements on my favorite website.
• the cold I seem to be getting.
• the post-it note that has gone missing.

a short list of things I miss today:

• the unpredictability of lakeside living.
• the familiarity of working with other people in a group setting, and all of the people I used to work with (well, almost).
• the space afforded by basements and garages and backyards.
• the carefree attitudes of summers.
• the ease of certain kitchen appliances.
• the ability to daydream as, but also be, a possibility junkie.

a short list of things I am annoyed with today:

• the fact that I left some checks for deposit on my dresser, when I work three blocks from my bank.
• the nosiness of one of my co-workers and how it contributed to me spilling water all over myself.
• the thought that it might just cost me as much in gas money to catch the metrolink to work.
• the task at hand at work today - of putting nebulous and tiny things on paper to justify what I do.

I'm not really crabby today, but from everything I have to say, it must look like I am. time to find something to laugh about...
