Oct. 24th, 2002 09:39 amI have a project to do at work that my boss is really anxious about. He is so anxious that he is in my office about a billion times a day. It is a relatively important project in that success could bring in more money, and not entirely un-interesting to work on.
However, i don't seem to be able to make progress. For a while i was analyzing data. I think the numbers are making me insane. I stare at them for days an make no progress. Now i'm theoretically writing code, but i can't focus on it. I sit here an am bored out of my skull. What is wrong with me?
At the very least, if i can't focus on project A, i should be writing up results from the sea test, or writing my presentation for next week. But i'm not motivated to do those either.
Sigh.
I really just want to stay in bed for a while, and not do anything. I wonder if a week's vacation would fix the problem? Maybe i'd get bored enough to be motivated again.
I hate this side of myself.
Otherwise, it hasn't been a bad week. I went running with Caitlin on MOnday (she kicked ass). On Tuesday we went to dinner with Kim, and then bowling with Deanna and Eli. I really enjoyed the evening. I would like to do this sort of thing more often. Maybe now that it is too cold for quiz night we will. Yesterday we went to the gym, and then had role playing. It was a good session, even if it wasn't too productive. I had a good lunch with some co-workers on Tuesday. We discussed the British commonwealth, which is fascinating to me at the moment.
