Evanescence

My post vacation mind is sharper today than it has been in weeks.  I am planning to work out more.  Also, I started noticing things here at work.  Most are the result of my entire team being crammed into this tiny corner of the mental hospital.  The incessant talking, even--or especially--the work related talking, interrupts my concentration.  This one guy, he's pretty cool but he has a desk in close proximity, and at a right angle to, my own.  People have a habit of leaning over his desk to look at his monitor or whatever, which puts their ass right in my face.  There is absolutely no one on my team whose ass I want near my face.

I think all of this didn't bother me before, because I was so incredibly bored I spent most days with my mind elsewhere, leaving only a couple brain cells to focus on whatever was going on around me, half the time dozing off, trying to keep typing or reading with half-open eyes.  Its like I was slowly fading away.  Now, though, the distractions are nearly painful.  To make matters worse, I've just learned that I will need to continue this boring-ass project past October.  The annoying girl on my team spent the entire day about three feet from me, helping someone else out, piercing my contentration with her annoying shriek laughter.  Its 5:55 now.  My willpower broken, I sit here running down the clock, earphones on, trying to drown out the others with Silence.  My newfound clarity has already begun to slip away, inch by inch.
