I am either suffering from:
malaise: a vague or unfocused feeling of mental uneasiness, lethargy, or discomfort
OR
ennui: a feeling of utter weariness and discontent resulting from satiety or lack of interest; boredom
OR
I’m just tired of people not living up to my expectations. People at work need to do their jobs. I need to be thanked occasionally for becoming the IT person and doing my other duties while babysitting otherwise intelligent adults who become blathering idiots when faced with a technology problem. I need to not have people ask me to come into their meeting to clear up a few things and then the primary questioner dismisses me. With an emphasis on dis.
Also, the backlight on my car radio went up in flames the other day. After doing some research, it’s a known flaw in the design of my car’s model year. The research also indicated that it’s often a pain in the butt to have the dealer fix it because even though it’s a known flaw not all dealers realize there’s a service ticket (or whatever it’s called) and so want to charge you up to $900 to fix it. My car is 7 years old and a factory radio should not cost $900.
Hello Crutchfield. A new radio should be arriving at the house today. It has a USB port and an input jack. And, even though I’ll be going from a 6 CD changer to one, I’ll have those two new inputs and the CD player will actually play CDs with MP3s and WMAs. What a concept. The ride to and from college town should be filled with more interesting listening now. Maybe that will help with the malaise/ennui.
