Generally Aggravated
As I mentioned in my last entry, I managed to avoid the office for most of the day on Thursday. That was not accidental. I meant to steer clear of the place entirely, as to not be around my coworkers, many of whom I don’t care for. Per my usual, I returned to the office yesterday morning at just before 4:45am. I found that doughnut at my desk. I couldn’t tell you who left it there or when they dropped it off, but there it was. To my surprise, it hadn’t petrified overnight, which I took to mean that it was indeed still very much edible. Being that I don’t like to see food go to waste, even with my current and medication-induced lack of appetite, I decided to add it to my breakfast regimen. Normally, my breakfast consists of some kind of energy drink and a protein bar. Today, I chased that protein bar with that doughnut. As far as donuts go, this wasn’t a particularly good doughnut, but it was free. If there’s one thing I learned in college, it was that there’s no such thing as bad free food. Yesterday’s breakfast would power me for six-plus hours.
I wore all black yesterday. Given how hot it was, that probably wasn’t the best fashion decision I could have made, being that I was outside working for a good percentage of the day. Now, I am hardly a pillar of fashion and I like to think that I can coordinate and put colors together, but I don’t always wear bright and dark colors when I ought to or probably should. Maybe subconsciously, I based the day’s outfit in accordance with my mood? I haven’t been entirely happy of late, especially at work. Then again, what else is new?
Speaking of gifts, someone had left me that Minecraft Happy Meal toy at my desk earlier in the week. Again, I couldn’t tell you who left it there, but there it was. As I’ve also mentioned in another previous entry, I don’t care for Minecraft, not as a movie and certainly not as a video game. A free Happy Meal toy is not going to do anything to change my mind either. There are countless other games I would sooner play and allow to consume my time. But as it stands, I now have this awful Happy Meal toy that I’m looking to get rid of and I’d rather give it away than take a baseball bat to it, though now that I think of it, taking a bat to it would be just as fulfilling.
Jay was trying to talk me into getting the upcoming release, Doom: The Dark Ages. I told him that I was on the fence. The game looks and plays well enough based on the reviews that I saw yesterday, but I’m just not convinced that this is a game that I need to own on Day 1. I told him that I had bought the Doom: The Dark Ages-themed controller (pictured above) and that buying that controller was about as far as I was willing to go as it pertains to this latest Doom game.
As for life today, it was hot as hell outside. I want to say that temperatures today easily exceeded 100 degrees. Going outside today was definitely not fun, so I opted not to do much after I got home from the office.
Even the office sucked again today because as I’ve complained about many, many times already, no one wants to turn on a fucking light in there, even after 7am. I have reached a point where I’m seriously considering bringing this shit to management because I’m tired of the damn sensitivity in that office when it comes to people being averse to turning on a fucking light. If you don’t like the light, get the hell out of the office and take your ass outside. I’m getting sick and tired of that whole refusing to turn on a damn light and as far as I’m concerned, the lights being on does not make it any hotter in that office. Because of how fucking dark it was in that office, I couldn’t do my usual seven to eight hours of overtime that I usually do there on Saturday morning. I worked those last two hours from home, where I could enjoy all the natural light I wanted without any sensitive mother fuckers ruining shit.
That’s all I have for now.
I know that tomorrow is Mother’s Day. Doesn’t mean much to me anymore. Mom’s already dead.
