It was an OK weekend. I've been fighting a cold. I went to a Dodgers-Cubs game. I went to a BBQ.

When I walked into work this morning & sat down, I was overcome by a wave of frustration. Three different people came by, each with a host of problems. Then a few more with more problems...dumping all their concerns on my lap.

Now I get to stay late once again, trying to solve these problems. If I don't remain tonight, it just means more barrels of crap to sift through tomorrow.

I think I'm in a rut. I'm reaching a point where I don't want to come to work anymore. My usual pleasant facade is eroding away into a dour, aggravated look of scorn & resentment. I'm finding myself caring less and less as each work day passes.

I need a change of scene. Or at least a vacation. If only I could afford such time off. Until then, guess I'll just trudge through another semi-meaningless day.
