plonqOne of the cute things about the Semagic LJ client, is that you can start an entry and then shelve it and come back to it days later.
I apparently started writing an entry about something just before the long weekend. The subject line was "Ignorance is only bliss for the ignorant", the current mood was "aggravated". I even had my "me smash things!" avatar queued up. While I am certain that I had lined up a rant worthy of that subject line, for the life of me I cannot remember now what it was about. What I find interesting, though, is how dramatically my mood has shifted over the course of a weekend. At some point on Thursday I was ready to start breaking stuff, and would have vented about it here if I had not been too busy to update my journal. This morning, aside from being a little miffed over some inane administrative stuff I have to do, I am actually fairly pleased at how well I've managed to complete some of my reporting work this month/quarter as compared to the last month and quarter respectively.
Part of that administrative work was printing vouchers for coveralls and steel-toed boots (for reasons that I am not at liberty to get into just now). Ideally I am supposed to have them for tomorrow, but they didn't send out the vouchers until after I'd gone home on Friday. Realistically I will (hopefully) have them in my hands by the end of the week.
The next part of the administrative work is to flesh out my Development Profile. It's an inane document that outlines what you want to be when you grow up. The implicit logic behind this document is that if you are happy in your current job then you are a bad employee. I have all but the "short term" and "long term" development goals filled out. Not surprisingly this is the same place where I was stuck when I last updated this document over two years ago. Bah. I need more coffee, or perhaps something stronger to carry me though this. Red Bull, give me wings...
