Bored and Cold

Yesterday was boring as all get-out! I have worked on the same thing since Thursday... looking at the same data, same lines, same-same. I have been waiting on Chris, my manager, to look over my work and give me feedback and insight.... so I waited all day yesterday. Waiting and being sleep deprived makes for one loooong day.

Today is not much different. Chris did look over my work and gave me some tips, but she told me to keep playing around with it. For two days now, I have been waiting on a joint learning session on the last portion of the map-making process. It was not done yesterday. I was told that we would do it at 0900, but it is almost 1000. Chris just walked by and said, "I haven't forgotten about you. We will do it around 1000. Just a crazy day." There is truth to this, but I'm tired of waiting. And it is so stinken cold in the office. Everyone in here is sneezing, as I have been doing myself. It seems that there is a lot of dust and mold pumping through the room since maintainance men started working on the ventilation system last night. I felt cold-like symptoms coming on because of it, but I popped a Claritin D. As is well in the sinus world now. :) (Love that stuff.)

Every night since Monday, I have been saying that I was going to bed around 1900/7pm. But this has not happened yet! I have talked quite a bit to my family members, and re-runs on USA of NCIS are addictive and an hour long... and I will stay up to watch that lovely show. Sunday night's sleep deprivation hit me hard yesterday, and I am still feeling it today. But tonight, I am seriously crawling into the bed at 1900. I think I will do some squats, push-ups, and the like, soak in the bath, and crawl into bed... before another wild, road-running weekend.

Well I have just been given my first job, like first real-time map. No more boredom. I will admit that I'm a little anxious, but I know that I'm a beginner so it is not like I can know how to do everything perfectly right off the bat.... But yet that is what I expect from myself, hence feeling anxious. No more bumming around and waiting. "Here.... we.... go."
