I’m in a bit of a funk. Not a big one, but just not as “up” as I usually am. Not sure what the cause is, probably hormonal/chemical. I’ve gotten a lot accomplished in the last few days, but I’m feeling like I’ve reached an impasse and don’t have the energy or the time get across it. So I’m just having to wait until I can deal.

There’s plenty to do, but none of it is particularly engaging. It’s true that some parts of my job suck. The nit-picky details that I don’t care about and that only 3 people care about. There’s nothing worse than spending a whole lot of time on something that you know only 3 people care about and that those 3 people will find something wrong with what you do.

On the flip side, I have some grand ideas which I’m afraid to float because they will be shot down for lack of money or the dreaded “how are we gonna support that” question. So I’m sitting on a couple of things and floating somewhere between nitpicky and grand, more toward the nitpicky end. It’s not fun.

What I’d really like to do is take a vacation. When’s winter break?
