Ok, so being the highly senstive person that I am, I can’t tune out the darned construction noises outside my window like my coworkers do. Cranking the music to cover it works somewhat, but then the music makes it a little harder to focus. So today I tried cranking up my ocean sounds, that seems to work slightly better, but the clip I have has such a low volume I have to crank the computer volume up to get it high enough, which means the random beeps & alerts & such are louder too – and tend to startle me. Earphones are too uncomfortable. And look at me whine! Horomones suck. And misery loves company of course.
Hopefully I’ll be in a better mood tomorrow when I go over to JC’s for dinner and The Last Samurai. Maybe I’ll start putting up brief book reviews, at least once I get over this Nora Roberts romance novel kick I’m on.
Yes I admit I read them! =P And believe it or not, I actually read them for the stories and characters, I sometimes even skim right past the sex scenes. Nora Roberts does a great job with developing character’s backgrounds and relationships and a lot of her stuff is centered around family – for example a trilogy that covers three siblings, so you really get to know the whole family over the course of the series. And while they are still romance novels, they don’t fall into the category of “trashy romance.” Well, I’m feeling better now, although still not focused on work. Oh well.
