Work is bringing me down, and it’s spilling into the rest of my life. I’m snippy, I’m short-tempered, I’m feeling rushed … all of the damn time. Like, tonight, for example. I went to Target to get something easy to take to work tomorrow as we are supposed to bring “snacks,” in addition to dressing up. (Apparently I have been sent back to elementary school.) Right in the entryway of the store, I ran into a colleague, who was there with her family. I stopped to chit-chat — although I would have been fine with just saying “Hi … See ya later!” — and we talked for a minute or two. We hadn’t seen each other in a while and in retrospect, she probably would have liked to have spent more time talking. But no. I. Had. To. Get. To. The. Frozen. Food. Section. because it was already 6:30 p.m. and I still had to go to the post office and return a book to the library before … nothing. I had NO PLANS tonight other than watching television.

Sigh.

I don’t like being an unpleasant person. Not one bit. I don’t like being whiny or a complainer or uninterested in other people. Gah. Thank goodness I’m going out of town Wednesday. I need a change of scenery.

The blonde wig is coming out again tomorrow. Maybe I’ll just wear it all of the time. Wheee!
