meh

Past two weeks have been crap. At first I thought it was having to be on call for work which basically meant I couldn't do anything fun or get much sleep last week because I could be called at any moment to go fix problems on equipment we service anywhere in Southeast Texas. Normally this isn't such a big deal because I can generally find enough time to get some sleep, but for the two weeks before that I was doing out of town work which meant late hours and sleeping in strange beds. Not the good kind of strange that leaves people feeling happy or wondering what they did last night, but the kind of strange that makes you want ot carry a black light around and do a 20/20 expose on the hotel industry.

So basically for the first three weeks of January, I've been run down, over-worked, and under-slept (assuming that's a word, if not, someone dig up Noah Webster for me.) I'm not one to normally complain about my condition but for some reason I can't seem to get out of the sleep deprived, bored as hell funk I've been. I'm normally pretty active on World of Warcraft, and playing online in other games, but the most interest I can seem to manage is the twenty minutes or so it takes to play a session of Legend of Red Dragon on
Thumper_Montoya's BBS. I think I may need a vacation, even if it's just for the weekend.

I had also planned on writting a rather long rant about being on call and the "interesting" people I get to deal with over the phone, but I couldn't manage to hold enough interest to do so and the rage at their general lack of intelligence has waned too much. Probably due to sleep deprivation, apathy, and time making it seem not so bad. It does still frustrate me though that people who should know how to do their job refuse to do it because they'd rather not spend the time to do it. I'm not sure if it frustrates me because I seem to have to be the one to do the work in such situations or if it's because I'm guilty of it too from time to time.

I don't know. Like the title says, I'm feeling meh.

rant, emotion, work
