I feel a little better today. I think it's because I had social interaction yesterday. Let's face facts - I am an extrovert. I need my energy from other people. It's one of the reasons why I do so well at things like my work yesterday. I was standing in front of a room of six people who were fully engaged in what I was saying, listening to everything, and genuinely paying attention. I get energy from this. While most of the time I appreciate the luxuries my job provides me in terms of working from home, non-standard hours, etc, I really do miss the interaction with other human beings. I hate people for the most part but I know I have to be around them to function. Irony is a cruel bitch.

Left the house around 6:30 because I knew traffic would suck if I left later. Downside is I sat in a parking lot for 45 minutes waiting until it was time to go inside. Met my client at 7:45 and we started the class at 9. I was there to 'mentor' them on how to move forward with their systems. We went until about 5:10. A solid full day. They did some hands on work, they got to ask everything in their question lists, and I generated future business opportunities for the company. All in all successful work day.

Personal life? Yeah, not so successful. I had been hoping to meet a friend after work, but she ended up having to pick someone up at the airport which killed our plans. Instead I sat in traffic for 90 minutes until I finally got home. I was so exhausted I ordered a pizza because I just didn't want to cook. Upside is I now have leftover pizza. Whee.

Played some Epic Mickey last night. Epic Mickey 2 came out yesterday but the kid and I both agreed we won't buy the new one until we have finished the old one. Trying to be somewhat responsible. I didn't get very far mostly because I was tired. I ended up going to bed before 10.

Today I am back home again. Tomorrow and Friday I am teaching a class but from the house. A remote session. I hate those because I spend all day talking to myself essentially.

Maybe something interesting will happen tonight. I don't know what happened to me. I used to have fun. I used to have adventures. I used to have friends...
