Ponderous, Man, Really Ponderous

[the_gneech]

I have spent the past two weeks manufacturing work for myself at my job because I can't move forward on my real work until other parties get on the stick and send me their pieces.

I was supposed to have it all this past Monday.

Frankly, the prospect of spending another day doing that has got me depressed. It's been wearing me down all week, and is the primary reason there's no SJ today. So screw it, today I'm working on my own stuff. Half the office is out because of the light powder pretending to be snow anyway; I may just take off at lunchtime and use vacation time so I can go home and get some stuff done.

I'm disgusted and irritated, which is a step up from the morose and pathetic I was last night and this morning. At least being disgusted involves energy and not whining.

Moving on up, out of the morose and pathetic, we find our friend, the gneech, reaching that pinnacle called disgusted and irritated. Can the push towards good and well be so far behind now? -Friskg

Don't underestimate the power of clawing your way up out of a funk! I e-mailed the head of the I.T. department with the suggestion that if I had some more training, I could do myself the work I'm waiting on someone else to do, thus lightening their overload and giving myself something useful to do, and she was receptive to the idea -- so I may get more training out of it. If I'd just stayed morose and pathetic, that would never have happened.

Good idea! The more training the merrier! :)
