Zombieland

Today was rough, really rough. Disclosure: once a week, I work an office job for the government. That's where I was today. After a long and tired journey in a snowstorm, my spirits were low. My job there is helping to establish an in-house library by cataloguing all their books. So after travelling through a blizzard, I spent the day in a windowless room that was deathly quiet. Only the hum of the shitty halogen lights were there to keep me company.

All of these factors, combined with NO coffee, meant I was feeling very blue the whole day, unable to focus on tasks and generally sleepy. The minutes fairly crawled by, with no end in sight. I kept getting distracted and off track. Truly, office jobs are the reason coffee was invented. Because office workers are apparently afraid of the outdoors, the heat was jacked way up as well, meaning I was dehydrated all day too. I drank plenty of water, but I remained thirsty. When I went on my lunch break, it felt like I was stumbling out into a barren, snowy wasteland. I was a zombie by the end of the day and simply felt numb in every way. 23 more days to go folks!
