penguin_nipple's Journal: boredom

I am suffereing from boredom...maybe it's simply the drudgery of everyday life. Not that my life drudges (sp?) or anything, it's just that every once in a while I feel like I am in a bit of a rut. Then I get bitter :o) Constant bug fixing at work, same ol' routine in my spare time, life moving more slowly than I want it to. Things like that. Of course last week was so busy that my body literally shut down on Friday. My brother and his wife came into town friday. I felt ok when i got home from the office. But after waiting until 8pm for dinner (don't ask!) , I started feeling extrememly nauseous. Like hung over, drank a case of beer the night before nauseous. I have no idea why either. Maybe it was hunger, maybe it was stress. Regardless, it felt like someone forgot to pay the gravity bill and I was heaving gooey chunks at the alter of the porcelain god in no time. Damn, maybe I should have been drunk - at least I would have gotten something more out of the whole experience.

After my little episode, i went downstairs to lie down and ended up crashing at 9pm. 9pm on a Friday! Man - I am getting older, I must be. But it was great, thats the thing. Friday night:
go clubbing?
nope
strip club?
nope
pub?
nope
live music?
nope

....sleep in all its beauty and majesty.

Oh well, I never claimed to be exciting...

Woke up up at 7am on Saturday (another sign of advancing age) and did my normal thing, Slashdot browsing, Aliens versus Predator 2, coding. Lately coding has been driving me insane. My current project is fairly mature ie not alpha anymore. Therefore the bugs are smaller, more difficult to track and thus far more infuriating. Why me oh god...

;o)

Anyhow, wash rinse and repeat for Sunday, except I slept in until about 11am. Sundays are great for that - I actually tend to awake about 9am, but lie in bed and watch all the decorating and design shows on cable. Again, another sign of advancing age...

So here we are , sitting in office on Monday, filling in a journal entry. Oh yes, I managed to kill a plant in my cubby hole. Forgot to water it well on friday. It's a flower type thing, unlike the other low maintenace ferns and plants I have in here. Therefore requiring a touch more care. I should also point out, it's not fully dead-ified, just dropping badly. Maybe after afew dousings today it will pop back to life....here's to hoping I am not Death incarnate

=D

What a life...
