Life is back to sucking. Isn't that nice?

9 AM. I've been at work since 7:45. Co-worker? Has yet to arrive. I'm about to stab myself with my oatmeal-covered spoon. Boss here? HAHAHAHAHAHA. As if. I wonder if we'll see her at all today. I put money on "no".

Not only is it dark when I get up in the morning, the sun is only just rising when I go out walking. This isn't good, as I worry it may be dark when I walk a few months from now. (I walk in a residential neighborhood, but a silent one. No one is up and around until late in the morning, and so I worry a little about being snatched off the street or something... though I suppose if it's quiet my screaming might attract some attention. Maybe.)

As if dealing with idiots at work wasn't enough, I need to call my eye doctor's office and deal with the idiot girls there. Somehow they ordered the wrong brand and size of contacts for me, so this weekend a box of totally the wrong lenses showed up. Idiots. Why can't anyone do their job right? Why do I have to deal with the result of other people being stupid?

...oh, wait. That's my job. Right.

It's so nice to be back to work. (Why is nothing happening when I stab myself with my spoon?!)

Edit: I ate my oatmeal (instead of just trying to stab myself with the spoon from it), and now feel somewhat better. I didn't eat hardly at all yesterday (bad timing on a number of things), so was probably cranky because of that. ...not that work doesn't suck and co-worker still isn't here, but at least I don't feel like killing myself anymore.

Standing behind what you believe

From a news story out today. Quotes:

The Bush administration plans to delay major assaults on rebel-held cities in Iraq until after U.S. elections in November, say administration officials...

"When this election's over, you'll see us move very vigorously," said one senior administration official involved in strategic planning...

"Once you're past the election, it changes the political ramifications" of a large-scale offensive, the official said.

(End quotes.)

If this is what he believes is the right thing to do, why try to "hide" the truth of it now? If he believes he's doing the right thing, why wait to continue doing it until after the election? What other reason than to save his own ass?

Bah.
