Boring Title

My mood follows the same pattern every morning. On the way into work I feel good and nothing bothers me. I think about the night before and watch the other drivers on the road. Sometimes I wonder what they are thinking and where they are going. They is probably a novel or short story somewhere in there.

For most of the drive I ride without the radio on. Silence is better than music in the morning.

Even with some light snow on the ground today the commute was fairly stress free. I made it to work with plenty of time to spare. The postive feeling lasts until I walk into my cube and get adjusted to where I am then the meetings start and pull me down. It is the same thing over and over.

I can see the workload slowly increasing over the next few months. We have been warned that it is coming and now it finally seems to be happening. Being busy does not make the job more interesting though. I really need to learn something new.

I guess that I would call today a good day. Part of the morning was spent paying bills instead of working, but I consider it all to be my time anyway. I know how much effort I need to put forth to do my job. Work has become my time rather than their time to a small degree. It is my time or why would they pay me. Yes, I have a very skewed view of the business world.

Maybe my current state of mind was brought on by watching Contact again last night. I need to be a dreamer again and grapple with concepts that no one can answer. Work just seems so meaningless to me. I know that this is my own private dead horse that I have beaten to death more than once, but it is not going to go away until I get a new job.

This seems to be the year that I cut back on magazine subscriptions. For years I have subscribed to at least five different magazines at the same time. I always say that I will cut back, but start to get new ones when I let another subscription expire. So far I have let two of my subscriptions go under. I want to see how long this will last.

I am still working on the past four days or so. They will ready soon I hope. I am slowly getting back into the habit of writing this little project.
