Things that today did not have going for it:

• it was Monday
• it was cold & grey
• three hours of meetings
• work is not going as well as i would like (got some bad news today) and I’m way behind from the week away
• the weather’s calling for snow (or at least chance of snow) every day this week
• the mail room seems to a) have lost my copy of Revenge Of The Sith, and b) be staffed by a meth addict who talks yells a mile a minute
• i have a pounding headache, which I believe is from being overtired. oddly enough, the best sleep i’ve had in the past week or so was the night before the exam.

I’m hoping for a late day turnaround.
