doing things...

April 30, 2002

... usually makes me feel like I've accomplished something during the day. Well, as long as I can see results or get praised in some other form. But today, I just don't know. I mean, I did things. In fact, I got quite a bit done today, but I don't have the feeling of satisfaction.

It's quite disheartening, actually. I wish that I felt good. I wish that doing the simple things that I did today made me feel better, but alas, it did not.

To recap what I did today (or rather, "cap" what I did today, since it's the first time I'm talking about it other than when I actually did it):
I called Don to get another bus pass. I told him what little progress I've had in the job search, and whatnot. He said I could pick up the form after 3pm.
I called the cable company to find out why they billed me for May when they disconnected my cable already. They told me to "disregard" the billing, as it was probably sent out before the disconnection occured. Not like they're getting any money from me anyways. So...
Then I went to the bank to cancel my overdraft protection account on my checking account (because I wouldn't have enough money to cover the fee when it rolls around).
Then I caught the bus and rode to the depot. I got my actual bus pass, and waited for my bus so I could go home again.

That's enough. That's all I intended on doing today, possibly getting milk, but that's not urgent, now that I have a May bus pass. I set a small goal of tasks to finish. I finished them. And nothing. No sense of accomplishment. It's probably that I just couldn't sleep last night and was woken up by the damn creditors repeatedly in the morning. Or maybe, it's just that I didn't set my goals high enough and I already knew I could do those things, so I wasn't satisfied when I actually did. Or maybe, just maybe, I'm overanalyzing this.

So, to wrap up: I'm feeling like myself today. Kinda down, nothing happening. Although, I did find UPN (Buffy's channel) and it comes in crystal clear. Buffy was good, so that made me smile. Not that I want to live my life by the quality of a TV show's episode, but it at least made me smile.
