Today, I did not win at life.

* Although I really enjoy my job and would not trade the people I work with for the world, work is very frustrating right now. Things are starting to pick up as we're only two months away from busy season, and now is the time where we do lots of planning for the audits that will begin in early 2007. Additionally, we're in the process of converting to a new paperless software system, and it's going to take a lot of time. Did we do this over the summer when we were slow? Why no, of course not. We had to wait until the busiest time of year to start the conversion and make everyone work more overtime than they otherwise would have had to. There's also the project that I've been working on since May. It's still not done, and at the rate it's going, it will be haunting me until Christmas. I want nothing more than to be done with it. Of course, instead of getting anything done today, I sat in more software training that turned out to be 95% useless to me. So frustrating and stress-inducing! I had a temporary panic attack.

* I have a guilty dieting conscience. This week and last week - and, well, probably the week before that - have been a slow crawl back to my old eating habits, culminating in a cinnamon roll for breakfast today and Valentino's pizza and a giant bread stick for lunch topped off with a frosted sugar cookie as an afternoon snack. I've been eating out a lot again lately, and that's just no good when it comes to losing weight. I'm trying to look on the bright side and tell myself that I'm still controlling portion sizes (kind of) and am working out, and thus it has to be better. It doesn't help much. I need to kick my own butt and jump back on the dieting bandwagon hardcore next week. Heh. Notice I say next week. I'm making chicken and noodles on Saturday, and there is no way I am missing out on that meal for a stupid diet.

* Tonight [profile] enigmaticblues and I made a Weight-Watchers approved soup: Creamy Sweet Potato soup. It's actually quite tasty. The problem was that it's such a concentrated taste that after eating about half the bowl, I just couldn't take another bite without gagging. Such a shame.

* I should finally finish up revisions to Chapter 1 of my new L/L fic tonight. This should make me happy, and it kind of does, but I just feel ridiculous that it's taken me so long. Granted, this is the longest thing I've ever written, and I've probably put more thought into this fic than any of the others. Still, months for one chapter? That's sad. What if it takes me that long to write the next two? *headdesk* I'll never finish at this rate. I want to post Chapter 1, but at the same time, I don't want to make everyone wait two months for the next chapter. On the other hand, if I post it, I might feel more pressure to get the next chapter done. I just hate feeling like this story is kicking my ass.

At least tomorrow's Friday.
