i wouldn't say i feel better about the world today but last night's drink was alcohol while this morning it's only caffeine. so there's some kind of improvement there, right? and really, i think part of the reason i felt so utterly hopeless yesterday was the situation i spent my day in. the two other temps i was working with were of similar mind so it was ok when i was with them, but no one else in that office was even talking about the election. ? they are freaky pod people and that's all there is to it.

but it was a completely annoying day work-wise because they had three temps and no particular plan for us. they just kept making up tasks to fill our time and shuffling us around from person to person. and i was thinking, yes, i need money, but not that desperately. send me home so i can clean my house and buy food and make phone calls. please. but no such luck. the most exciting moment of the day was when they gave me the task of driving to another location to pick up some stuff. ahhh, fresh air. and i heard then, at 4 o'clock, the official election results. and cried some as i drove.

but then last night claire came over and we watched lost and drank wine and cuddled on the couch and were sad and frustrated together and that really helped (despite some ham-fisted writing). dom helped too.

yeah, so. today i have a few hours to do all that shit i haven't done all week and then i'm off to church.
