Bleah, back to being cranky pants again today. Feeling bristly when people ask the prerequisite "what did you get up to on the weekend" and I don't have anything exciting to say like a fishing trip or running a marathon or whatever so they tune out anyway. I know it's a nicety but like I wish they round just skip the question, neither of us enjoy it at this point. And I don't actually want to hear about what most of my colleagues have gotten up to because it's not in my wheelhouse anyway and i can only feign interest for so long.
Ordinarily I'd just bury myself in work but we've run out of stuff to do and the only stuff left is some very very tedious document updating which I've already spent a lot of time on and I'm dying of boredom send help. Almost tempted to start chucking sickies...
Oh god I hate those conversations. Have taken to saying ‘oh, just relaxing’ or something like that, just to get it over with. Am also mrs crankypants today… maybe it’s the weather
I am 10000% ready to blame the weather. I really wish I'd timed everything so I could be on leave right now. I think that might legitimately be contributing to the crankiness... resentment... maybe a sickie is in full order for tomorrow to balance the scales since we have SFA to do anyway.
