friday. finally. and payday. finally. i have a full, open day at work, which means that i will just be working steadily here in cubeland all day without meetings or interviews to break up my day. i hope it goes by fast. we started calling our office suite "kosovo." the people that moved out left the place a mess, so it�s a fitting name. we had to beg housekeeping to even vacuum. i�m the only person in the lower part of the suite right now, and the motion-sensitive lights keep going out, causing me to have to flail my arms at intervals. i bet it looks funny.
i�ve been having a lot of anxiety lately, and i can�t put my finger on why. i thought i was over the kind of anxiety that makes me nauseous all the time and disturbs my sleep. the only cause i can think of is that i�ve been putting off some important financial-related things. oh, and i�ve been feeling lazy lately because i haven�t been doing as much work as i think i should, and i haven�t been getting enough exercise. so i feel guilty. you get the picture. i know stress-management techniques; i used to teach stress-management classes. i just can�t seem to implement those techniques.

the friday five:
1. What was the last TV show you watched?
i had the tv on while i was talking to the boy� on the phone last night, but i forget what was on, and i wasn�t paying attention anyway. other than that, i can�t remember the last thing i watched on tv. if i have the tv on, it�s usually for the background effect.
2. What was the last thing you complained about and what was the problem?
when am i not complaining?! this morning before work, i was complaining to my cat about her big mouth. meow meow meow, all the livelong day.
3. Who was the last person you complimented and what did you say?
i�m sure it was the boy�, and it was probably something about how he deserves all the good things that are happening in his life right now.
4. What was the last thing you threw away?
empty yogurt cup from this morning�s breakfast.
5. What was the last website (besides this one) that you visited?
good old diaryland.
