Things I am tired of: (please indulge me, it's been a bad day and it won't be over for another 7 hours at this point)

1. mailboxes full of spam. (Yes, I know, but I use Webmail for personal stuff and we're not allowed to use a "bounce filter" at work, so I just have to sit and delete it). I especially hate the spam that has subject lines that look vaguely like they could be meaningful, so I have to sit and think "could it be someone writing to me about my blog, or is it spam?" before I delete. Incidentally, if you e-mail me and I don't, back, it may be I thought your message was spam.

2. the Wednesday night program. I'm just not good at it, it feels like the kids don't like me, I feel like they're not learning anything, I feel like a failure when I come home from it.

3. the way everyone and his brother around me is getting married or engaged. Normally, I'm a happy single, but this spring for some reason it's really been hard not to feel like the spare giraffe waiting in line for the Ark. I'm doubly tired of having to explain to people why I'm still single.

4. a certain person in one of my classes who has a very loud and pointed comment for everything and who sits and tells long stories before class, making it hard to get started.

5. allergy season.

6. the fact that virtually every Saturday, from now until graduation, I am committed to doing something, and it's generally not something enjoyable.

7. all the responsibilities I have. I want to be taken care of for a while instead of having to take care of other people.

I don't know, this has just been a crap day for a variety of reasons, and I don't even get the consolation of being able to go home at five and fold up.
