I haven't done a damn thing all day (been here for nearly 3.5 hours). I did have to work 16 hours on Saturday though. I guess the fact that the boss is out (on a cruise this week) and 5 other people are also out leaving only myself and one other guy (8 total employees) makes it difficult to get things done.

Maybe I should just take a nap, eat lunch and then go home (maybe change the order to go home, eat lunch and take a nap since the boss is out this week too).

Damnit, ATOT....motivate me!

It's almost been a month since I've been at work on Monday for a full week of work. Back to the grind

I'm up to 5 hours being here and about 15 to 30 minutes of actual work...I guess that's progress and better than the first 3.5 hours in which I did nothing but loaf.

Mine's bad enough that I rediscovered this forum and the fact that I have an account. I'm just happy that I haven't passed out on my keyboard yet honestly.

I'm in a foul mood today for no reason really. Purely because it is Monday and one of my minions didn't do what I asked him to do.

Feeling the same way. Today is just an odd day. Couldn't concentrate and feeling exhausted.

Well, I made it to lunch. Just another 2 hours (maybe less) to go. I might cut out early and just go home. Feeling sort of bad (really but that's another, long story that might be told soon enough anyway).

At this point, I just don't give a shit about today.

For some reason I find it bad today too, and I was here last week including Sat...

Sigh.

You suck. It's going to be fairly long day for me. I didn't work this weekend when I should've and now work is backed up. I get paid by the job, not by the hour so it's in my interest to knock stuff out as quickly as possible.

I'm working on the bathroom remodel at home, and yes I am having a hard time getting going. I need to build some walls and do some blocking.

Whoa! Lurker alert!
Step out for a latte, man.

I'm salary and didn't get paid for the 16 hour day that I put in on Saturday. Worked my ass off then too. I guess today is sort of a make up day, especially with the boss out. I haven't had a day like this in quite some time though....just no energy or will to actually work, even though I know it's there and waiting to be done.

Was off for a month and been back since 1/2, but it was still quiet. Doing work is fine, but still haven't been able to shake the feeling of having to start all over again with accomplishments... a new year and a new slate, new targets, ugh.

Tough day. Am struggling with a pretty important decision, which makes it tough to focus on work. :(

A headache isn't making this day any easier. We'll see how I feel after lunch.

Had a good sleep today since I start on nights tonight. So all is good. Will be a nice break since I've been working days pretty much all December with barely no breaks, well not what I'm used to. :p It's nice to work nights and be able to sleep in instead of having to wakeup to an alarm.

I did catch that stupid cold everyone's been getting though, which sucks. I would rather get the flu at least it's over in a few days. Colds tend to drag on for weeks, sometimes months.
