Uninspired
This describes the week I’m having. I’m just feeling unmotivated and generally not with the program. I have plenty to do, but can’t seem to get off my butt and do it.
Something that deepens this mood is when I have people come to me requesting things via e-mail and they use that blasted red exclamation point. Why is their request any more important that something from elsewhere? Why does their lack of planning create a red exclamation point emergency?
I do not have an answer for that question, but I do have an answer for how that little symbol irritates me. Yup, after several years of hating that thing I deleted the column it shows up in from the fields my inbox displays.
I feel better already.

I know how you feel. I lack a lot of motivation right now…
Though I’m a fan of the symbol…especially with the subject line of “omg todays most important email” and then say something like “yeah i forgot my lunch…wanna go get lunch”. I always used it to be an ass. Just like how I like sending voicemail to a friend as an “urgent message” (though that comes in handy because it comes in line first when they check their messages).
i think…i like being a jackass amongst friends…it’s kinda refreshing 😀
