Nov. 10th, 2006 09:39 amThis has been the week from hell. S. said something about Mercury being in retrograde. I don't know what that means but Murphy has been in full effect.
Yesterday was annoying but not too bad. I got lots of my data entry done. Our student worker was here all day so she was able to help me with that. Thank goodness. Still our database only list 57 people in the program and I know there were over 80 so I'm still missing quite a few. I hate data entry but some days mindless work is good.
Today I woke up about the time I am usually leaving. I don't know if I forgot to turn on my alarm or if I turned it off but it was off and I wasn't awake on time. Still- I made it to work with 5 minutes to spare and nothing catastrophic has occurred. However, I am rather grumpy and feeling really lonely. CE. was telling me everything she and JE are doing this morning- it's just mundane life things, breakfast, teasing and playing but I'm jealous (of the camaraderie) because when the day is over I go home to an empty house. None of my friends have even talked to me this week, except CE and Ms. A, very briefly. My cousin hasn't invited me to Thanksgiving dinner. I know I'm welcome but it would be really nice not to be forgotten, just once on holiday dinner invitations. So, I'm moody, sad, and irritable and feel like no one gives a damn.
Tonight I'll go scrapbook with my mom and I'll spend some portion of time at their house tomorrow to interview my dad for a class assignment and to do some laundry. I need to work on homework the rest of the weekend. Sounds like loads of fun, huh? Well the scrapbooking should be-- if I can get creative and get some done. And if I can get the assignments done for my class it would be out of my hair for the term. I did finish the grant I was writing. It's been submitted to my colleagues for feedback. (Not that I'm getting any) My boss and the PI approve but it's not likely to be funded because the program it would support hasn't gone through the curriculum approval process. (Yes, someone dropped the ball!) However, they could submit the grant proposal again next year and maybe get funding. I still need to prepare the oral presentation that I have to give at the next class (Dec 1). Mostly it's the powerpoint presentation I need to get done and organize my thoughts. I hate oral presentations but I'll have to get used to them. I still have to do my oral defense this winter term.
I wanna go home and cry.
