at work
it's official: I am bored out of my fucking mind. Don't get me wrong, I'm very lucky to have a good job like the one I have in Buffalo, but Good Lord could I please do some legal research? I'm so tired of updating files and keeping the database current. The worst part is I got a 3 month break from those tasks and am now on Day 2 of being back and I'm already bored. I keep checking my email and looking at CNN.com and Juneauempire.com like those will entertain me for more than 5 minutes.
Maybe it's not the job, maybe I have adult onset ADD or something so I get bored easily. It's very possible. My once stellar attention span is more or less nonexistant now. All I can think about is "maybe I should eat my lunch now, but then what will I do when I need a break later?" and "I wish it was 5pm already so I could go to the gym" or "I'd rather go swimming" or "my to-do list is getting really long, I might want to make some progress on that" and "is it May yet?"
This sucks. I never thought I'd say this but I would kill to have a memo to write right about now. That would be sweet. But no, I have a 1 foot stack of printouts I have to update into the system...that's right PRINT OUTS. Some fucker decided to print several hundred pages of useless information from various online databases instead of just directly inputting the changes into the system. That's basically a whole tree, murdered (kidding), so some stupid intern could just sit there all day and hit "PRINT" instead of actually doing the project properly.
So, yeah, I'm bored. OK- time for a diet pepsi and some Cheez-its, then maybe I'll start redeeming the poor tree's death of vanity.
