It was a very long day at work today. I attended meetings (one that I knew I was supposed to go to, one that I didn’t find out until like an hour before – lots of time for me to prepare there!). One was an hour, the other was two. I was nearly falling asleep by the end of it all. I didn’t really need to be there, I was invited so I attended because they all thought I could learn more about the sales department. I learned that they were all one big mess. But overall, work was stressful (projects again) and boring (meetings, spending time with D who was incredibly pissed that he was basically left alone to run the floor because everyone else was out sick or on paternity leave). And people were all cheerful about the meetings, saying that it was great that I was sitting in on them while I was smiling and secretly grinding my teeth. They thought they were doing me a favour and yes, I spent three hours today in meetings out of my eight that I spend working there. But at the same time, I didn’t really learn anything, and I didn’t get much of my own work (although I suppose attending meetings was work) done. But other than that, my day was okay. Stressful and annoying, but it was okay-ish, I guess. Can’t complain, I got paid today.

But other than that, it’s been raining today. And it rained yesterday. And it’s suppose to rain tomorrow. And it’s supposed to be summer. Can I get a refund on the season?

I’ve come up with a few new project ideas. Mostly network sites, so yay. Also planning on getting some new content up in the next few days.

Work went a little badly today. I have ten projects that I’ve been juggling. Of the ten, I got three of the completely done today – I’m hoping that I can just push those out of my mind completely. And the other 7? Well, I’m sort of done one of them as well (maybe, anyways) but the other six leaves me completely dependent on information that I need to get from other people in the company. But they’re always busy. Always always always busy. I’ve set up meetings, people cancel. I’ve reminded them that I require information, and they tell me to ask someone else (and that someone else never has a clue what I’m going on about). And if they continue on this way, I won’t be able to get anything done before I leave at the end of August. Which might be a good thing, it would mean that it’s no longer my headache and will be pushed off to someone else.

Last night wasn’t exactly great either, so I ended up on the phone with Clay from midnight to about one in the morning. I wasn’t particularly tired and I was just having a bad day. He ended up cheering me up with some jokes and just talking to in general. He got me to calm down a bit (I had an argument with my father last night). And then today, he walked into the room where I work and just gave me a hug without saying a single word. It was a nice moment. Then he asked if I was doing better today (the answer was a resounding ‘no’, by the way) and he gave me another hug and a bag of Skittles and then he had to go actually work. Of course, since I basically had absolutely nothing to do, I ended up spending the last little bit of my day just spending time with him since I was done all the work that I could do (since people are always busy, or just always off-site). It cheered me up a bit, so that was good. I’m going to get a phone call later today, so I’m looking forward to that. Otherwise, I’m still in kind of a crappy mood.

It’s been a pretty mellow day. I stayed in bed until around 11am. I had crab (yum!) for lunch. I flipped through my Photoshop book for a bit. I watched an episode of Stargate Atlantis. I’m currently eating a popsicle while typing and listening to the American McGee’s Alice soundtrack. I’m getting to be very boring lately. But next month is going to be interesting. I have two birthday parties to attend, potentially an anime convention, as well as attempting to sell textbooks from last year to the in-coming first year students who will, hopefully, buy the crap I have on my bookshelf.
