Sounds like someone's got a case of the Mondays

I hate when you just can't shake a bad mood that makes everything worse.

The only thing worse than those days are days like that when things actually go wrong.

Or today.


I've been stuck in a funk pretty much since I woke up, and it seems to just be going downhill, fast. I spent nearly the last hour working with a supervisor trying to fix what appeared to be malfunctioning equipment. Finally after it all we discovered that I had been doing part of the procedure wrong* and it had finally been too much for the equipment. The only highlight was that he was quite nice about it, and was okay that I had essentially wasted his last hour**.

Now I'm sitting in the Physics lounge half an hour after work and I can't seem to find the energy to get up and go home.


I haven't felt this lousy since the day I was laid off.










* because I was trained wrong, but whatever
** he's known to be somewhat irritable
