I fully realize how crazy this sounds, but I was a little disappointed the fire alarm was a false alarm.

How stupid is it that we have to sit here and wait for instructions before we can leave the building? Okay, maybe not that stupid. I mean, it could be a false alarm like it was a little bit earlier.

God, I just don't want to be at work today.

I can tell it's going to be one of "those" days.

You know how, in "The Secret" they talk about how you need to control your thoughts and turn them into positive ones instead of letting your bad mood just spiral out of control?

Yeah...well, that's not so easy when you feel like you could do with a couple more hours of sleep and you're just sick and tired of this place.

Great.

Another email popped up from N.

Labelling it a co-dependent friendship would be a misnomer since she's the one who doesn't seem to have any other friends except for me. Is there really something about me that attracts needy, dependent people into my life? What role do they serve in my life beyond making me want to become a hermit?

Okay, that's not true. I have no desire to be a hermit.
