Monday mornings are a bitch.

OK OK, despite the title, my mood has actually improved a little since my post last night. Although, I did decide to leave it up. One thing (of many, I assure you) that bothers me is when people complain about the very same thing they do. Now, am I guilty of doing that as well? Of course. But, I do try to own up to my own irony/hypocrisy in those moments. Anyway, moving on.

So, there is something wrong with our spam filter at work and all of our junk mail is getting through to our inboxes. I just spent 15 minutes deleting crap from my Blackberry inbox as every email that hits my work inbox also goes to my Blackberry. At least it's not just me. I wonder what the lost productivity/billable time will be for today as there are currently a butt load of lawyers (now THAT's a funny statement) sitting in their offices, deleting email from their laptops. desk tops AND crackberries.

What else did you all miss out on last week? I did, in fact, give my presentation on Tuesday, complete with handouts and everything. No, I did not suffer a heart attack from my public speaking phobia. But, I DID NOT HAVE FUN PEOPLE. Oh, and it does NOT get easier with time so you can all shove that little nugget of non-wisdom where the sun does not shine. Which is apparently Seattle as we are now in the second week of April and still in winter conditions. I am so so tired of being cold all of the damn time.

That's about all I've got for Monday morning. Here's to hoping Kim had a good weekend and can share some happy thoughts with all of us. I seem to have cornered the market on the negative ones.

Sunday Afternoon.

So, it's been a while since I posted. Why? Nothing too significant; just a crazy workload for most of the week and not much to say. I still don't feel like I have all that much to say. Perhaps the newness of the blog has worn off and, since we have little traffic and all of one comment, the whole blogosphere seems to be nonexistent for us. I don't know.
I guess I don't really get it. I visit other blogs and, since I've started this blog, I comment. I was diligent about commenting for 2 weeks and not one of those bloggers came by to see us. I'm a bit disillusioned by this fact. So many bloggers that complain on their blogs about "comment comment comment" and "I'll come by and do the same" and zilch. There is one blogger who took a bit of a much needed break, came back and said exactly that: please leave a comment and I promise to come by your blog and do the same. Yeah, not so much. I don't really want to turn into a 2 year old but I can't help but feel a little excluded from the whole blogging community right now. Sigh. Funny again, that's exactly what these same empty promise bloggers have said as well.
Well, that was a downer. Maybe it's PMS, maybe it's work exhaustion, maybe it's a little bit of frustration. Or all 3. Who knows? But, there you go. I don't know if I'll leave this up or not. Maybe Kim will bring me to my senses.
