respite

today i'm at home on a comp day, because work is kicking my ass. i had a really intense committee meeting yesterday in which i had to argue with the VP of IT against filtering the campus computers. this shouldn't have been a "me against 3 people from IT" conversation, but that's what it turned into, and i'm not really sure who came out ahead. suffice to say i stood my ground but it wasn't pleasant.

on top of that, i'm the faculty advisor for the queer student group on campus, which is languishing. a lot of the active students graduated, and since this college has a really high turnover rate it's hard to get anyone to commit. we're in a conservative county, and the college has a pretty uptight atmosphere, so i know the kids need this group. i'm not going to let it die, but i don't have time to run the thing by myself. it doesn't help that the guy who's supposed to be supporting all the student clubs is licking his lips over the thought of this particular club biting the dust.

then we have the fact that i haven't written a damn thing in months. and i feel like i'm getting another sinus infection (this would be number four since november). and i'm just completely EXHAUSTED.

le sigh.

today i think i will sit in front of the tv, listen to the brandi carlile cd i got on itunes with a birthday gift card, and plot my next tattoo. otherwise i may have to make the dog into a furry purse, and nobody wants that.
