Today the weather matches my mood

It's gray and gloomy.

Well I do believe that professionally this was the right move for me, personally I'm not so sure. I miss the people at my old office. They aren't as fun here. I miss my cube with the window. Not only does the guy behind me have a window, he shuts his blinds every day because he doesn't want to look outside. Also, he makes noises all day long. If you've ever met an 8-year-old boy you know what I mean. I can't find my iPod headphones, so I can't drown him out. I just found them. Tomorrow, I'll bring my iPod and I won't have to listen to him.

Also, WTF is up with my co-worker who is currently on a conference call? On speakerphone. In his cube. I don't make you listen to my conference calls, guy.

I hate, hate, hate where I live. I miss my little house. The place is adequate, but it's nothing special. It's an apartment complex, so the population is transient and there is no sense of community. The AC is terrible. I have to run fans upstairs and still I sweat because it's so goddamned humid. It will be really fun when I am running the clothes dryer this summer. That's right, the dryer is upstairs. It's a stackable washer/dryer and holds about 6 things. I'm really pissed that I have to go to the laundromat to wash some blankets and a quilt. I could have washed them in my old washer. The only redeeming quality the place has is that it's close to my sister's. I can get out of the lease early, but it will cost me a month's rent. So, I cannot wait until next April.

Of course, I'd love to be able to buy a house then, but I don't see it happening.

I also have a few people I'd like to call up and tell off.

And I hate all of my work clothes.

The fact that I only got three hours of sleep last night may have exacerbated this.

Hey, if the AC is bad now, it might just be that it needs fixing. You're renting, and from an apartment complex. Call them up and explain that your airco doesn't cool things. I had to do that when I moved into my house and it made a HUGE difference. I think they probably just recharged the freon. Alternately, close the vents downstairs, to force the air to go up. And if where you live is considerably lowering your quality of life, you might consider sucking up the months pay and just moving. xxoo hugs

I should have read this before I chatted with you before and it would have given me a good perspective. If it makes you feel the tiniest bit better, we have had to deal with a coworker spending all day on personal phone calls. She conducts them in the conference room right near where a bunch of us sits and basically slams the door, sits in the dark and yells at someone in Mandarin. No, the conference room walls are not soundproof. Personally, if I hear her slam the door one more time I'm gonna scream...

I'm with Stew on this one. Find out the last time they changed the filter on the air return. That always worked for me.
