Isn't That What Weekends Are For?

I decided to play hooky from work today. I spent probably 2 minutes deliberating about whether I should go in or stay home.

Pros
I could get everything I needed done around the house.
I could start packing for my vacation
I could call up my agencies and see what's out there on the job front for when I get back.
I could spend a day away from my boss who doesn't mean to, but annoys the hell out of me. Plus I know he has a 15:30 interview today, so if he can recruit, I can job hunt for my damn self.
I wouldn't have to do all this ish at 7pm when Heroes is on at 9-11pm tonight.
I need a manicure.
I need a pedicure.
I need to relax in a bubble bath with a good book.
I need to be a typical woman and suffer with cramps the way it should be done, on the couch watching Sex & The City [again] from Season 1 and stuffing my face with sweets n popcorn.

Cons
There is a global economic crisis, and when I don't go in I don't get paid.


There is no time in my working week to sit down and call all of my agencies. I want everything done right here, right now and if it doesn't get done everything else feels like it's hanging in limbo.

I've been having my mini insomnia bouts. I have no idea whether its a case of I just have an irregular sleeping pattern or if it's just sleep issues at the moment. My alarm went off at 7am like it usually does but at 2:30am I wasn't tired and had to force myself to go to bed. I didn't get up until 8:11am this morning [when I should have been on the train station platform] but rather than e-mail the boss and make up an excuse to blame it on the trains the 2nd day in a row I said to myself, fuck it, stay home and get x,y and z done, plus it's been a very long time since I pulled a fake sickie day.

I've felt very out of sorts recently, and have been out of the zone for a very long time. If it's not the lack of daylight hours fast approaching which I've noticed switches my mood for the not so better, it's the constant daily in your face news about the economy and the banking industry which I myself work in, or it's people annoying or pissing me off. I need to get back to picking up a book with ease, affirmations, prayer, positive thinking and meditation. I was a better feeling person because of it when I incorporated it into my life. Nowadays I feel like a walking zombie. I'm hoping before my Far East trip next week I get back in the zone and the old yet positive me returns, because I'm not liking this girl very much at the moment.
