10 Things I'm Tired Of
1. I'm tired of being pregnant. My OB said that I can go into labour any day now, but "any day now" is frankly not soon enough. I'm tired of swollen ankles and swollen feet and sore legs and back pain and not being able to bend over and not being able to sleep and... The list is long. I just want this baby out at this point.
2. I'm tired of my job. I don't want to write a summary of best practices in succession planning. I don't want to outline key questions to kick off a discussion about succession planning. I don't care about leadership lessons. I don't want to make a list of items that I need to handoff. I don't want to go to tonight's awards ceremony.
3. I'm tired of 70,000 emails from the __ system spamming my inbox hour after hour. I understand that this is regression testing and important, but it's still annoying.
4. I'm tired of bad customer service, particularly Honda's inability to give me a straight answer on how to reset the oil usage indicator. I don't want to talk to a dealer, dammit.
5. I tired of being cranky. And weepy. And hormonal. And pregnant -- did I mention pregnant? I'm really tired of being pregnant.
6. I'm tired of people making false sympathetic noises about my relative lack of maternity leave. Yes, I live in the States. Yes, that means I don't live in Canada or any other civilized country that allows more than a small circumscribed number of months of unpaid leave after giving birth. Yes, my situation sucks. Can we not talk about it anymore?
7. I'm tired of my sisters not calling me back. What's the time difference from here to Dubai, anyway?
8. I'm tired of this story that I've been writing since September that I can't make work no matter what I do. A breakthrough would be nice.
9. I'm tired of the mess in my office, at home, in the car, pick your location. Messes irk me. Especially now.
10. I'm tired of being pregnant. Really I am. In case it wasn't obvious or anything.
Apologies for cluttering flists with self-pitying drivel, but I did find the braindump somewhat therapeutic.
