we make love to some weird sin*
0921 hrs:Ah~! It is finally Friday, eh? I would celebrate, but I have drill this weekend. Bummer, isn't it? As per usual there is absolutely nothing on the schedule. Tonight, I will need to find a good book to take with me so that the weekend isn't a complete waste. I miss the "old" unit. We actually had things to do and it was nice to feel productive. Well, no use dwelling on it, right? I'll just take a couple of things to do during down time and try not to think about it too much.
I can't believe it isn't even 10am! As expected, Friday is going to make this day as long and painful as possible. Oh, Friday - how I love and hate thee!
Oh - and I've decided to make sure to credit the title lyric in my posts from now on. I'm sure some of you have noticed that almost all of my titles are snippets of song lyrics. I want credit to go where credit is due.
1057 hrs:*stares disbelieving at clock* Slowest. Day. Ever.
There are only 2 people out of the office today so it is super quiet. Also, the main line has only rung (rang?) 2 or 3 times, which might be some kind of non-holiday record. I'm having a hard time concentrating because my attention span on Fridays is pretty short unless I have a ton of work to do. *looks at Playlist* And when did I somehow collect more KAT-TUN (Japanese pop group, for those of you unfamiliar) songs than Spoon (an American prog-rock band) songs?! If I wasn't currently jamming out to "Our Story", I would totally feel a bit of shame right now.
1411 hrs:Guh. I can't believe it's barely past 2pm. The idea that I still have almost 2 full hours left makes me feel like crying out of self-pity.
That thought reminds me of this lately recurring thought: Sometimes when I think about how good I have it compared to how it would have been even a few decades ago, I feel like a big whiner. I think about how I work at a desk and have a normal work week of 40 hours. I don't have to do manual labor for many hours every day for very little pay and my working conditions would probably be in the 95th percentile (if not, indeed, higher).
When I think about it that way, life is pretty good, eh?
