drained
My computer [battery] is dying. Symbolic of the way I feel emotionally right now: drained of life.
I slept-in pretty late today, because I took sleeping medication at like 11:45 last night after not being able to fall asleep for an hour or something, so I've been groggy today, the parts of it that I was conscious.
Then I got some bad, sad news regarding some friends/acquaintances of mine and, while that woke me up, it kind of shot the rest of the day for me regarding any chance of .. well, not being a sad, sleepy bum. Such alas is life.
Our office is technically open tomorrow, on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. While I love my job and have no problem going to work, I feel like it's a bit disrespectful to Dr. King's legacy and our African-American receptionist. The courts are closed, which means most law offices are closed, and we're closed on holidays such as Memorial Day and Labor Day, so why would we be open tomorrow? I don't want to sound like.. some whiny, politically-correct activist, but I sincerely feel that it is not-right to work tomorrow, particularly given our soon-to-be new President, to be sworn-in the following day, et cetera etc. I'm starting to ramble now, and approaching incoherence, so I'll stop. But I think my point has, more or less, been made regarding having our office open tomorrow.
I'll be thinking of and respecting Dr. King in my own way, while I work hard tomorrow. Peace to all.
