I guess it's just one of those days

You know the kind,
It's the day that drags on forever.
It's the 1/2 lunch that really was only 10 minutes.
It's walking to the bathroom and finding the large yellow sign with a hand on the front stating "Geschlossen". I'm not German, but I think that means closed, which also means I have to walk down another flight of stairs to pee.
It's driving late to work in the fast lane of the interstate going 30 miles an hour because the guy from Texas in front of me is lost...

But on the brighter side, our boss bought us a bunch of sunflower seeds, which in my department is the currency equivalent of liquid crack on the streets. And it causes us to act as happy as a fat kid in a candy store.

As I sit in my lovely cubicle waiting for trades to come in, I'm just staring out at the mountains and wishing that I could be there. I don't mind my job, I just don't want to be here.

Thoughts on Change

Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better. - King Whitney Jr.
