What&#8217;s next; &#8216;I don&#8217;t like to pay taxes&#8217;? Or perhaps &#8216;Traffic is annoying&#8217;?<\/p>\n<p>Ok, yeah, I know that I haven&#8217;t said anything groundbreaking; anything other than the completely obvious. It&#8217;s just that coming off a weekend like I just had, the usual routine of the job seems that much harder to bear. Not that it&#8217;s been easy for a long, long time.<\/p>\n<p>We flew down to Atlanta on Staurday so we could attend the Sunday wedding of a high school friend. Atlanta was hot, and crowded, and hot. But getting to spend time with people I don&#8217;t see often enough more than made up for the lack of reasonable weather or sense of personal space. The most welcome and unexpected part of the weekend came during a drunken phonecall with an old college roommate when he decided to drive the 3 hours from his city to Atlanta just to have lunch and catch up before I had to do wedding-related things.<\/p>\n<p>Travelling yesterday sucked it, but travelling sometimes just, well, sucks it. Got home around 6ish and then turned around to go meet some friends out for burgers and beer.<\/p>\n<p>And today. Ohhhhh, today.<\/p>\n<p>Work is doing it&#8217;s best today to remind me why I don&#8217;t really like it here. Not a bad day, but definitely not a good one. And, much like the reason why travelling sucked it, today&#8217;s craptacular work day isn&#8217;t anyone&#8217;s fault &#8211; just the way the system works.<\/p>\n<p>But the non-work week ahead at least holds some hope. A fun BBQ on Thursday and then some much-loved-and-missed friends come in to town on friday for a weekend &#8216;o fun.<\/p>\n<p>Can&#8217;t wait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sucky part about travelling is that eventually you have to go back to work.
