friday random (Pandora) ten twenty-one: “I don’t particularly ♥ my defeatist attitude” edition
Once again, the threat of weather has me working from home, which I don’t mind at all. I have plenty of official sorts of things to review and wordsmith, which should keep me busy for my requisite eight hours of workday.
That said, otherwise, the week’s been kind of a dud. I was ready to bag it and start over by Wednesday lunchtime. All the work projects I’m involved with have, through no fault of mine, gone some flavor of pear-shaped. Non-work life, what there is of it, is other varieties of stressful and frustrating. Plus, I earlier this week, I discovered that my beloved Sansa Clip mp3 player got crushed in an unfortunate backpack accident.
I have managed to replace it with the current model, which is still, thankfully, uncomplicated and linux friendly, just the way I like it. Doesn’t really salve the overall feeling of utter defeat, however.
