Struggling Against Boredom
Everything I had scheduled to work on at the office was resolved before 10 AM.
My work tickets are complete, tickets I've scheduled are approved, my timesheet is updated, my papers have been sorted and filed and all reports have been sent.
On personal projects, I finished digitizing audio tapes of the 2006 Advanced & Challenge Fly-in in DC (ACDC) last night and used the application Audacity to split them into separate MP3 files. In a moment, I'll burn these and recordings of prior years onto aCD-ROM DVD so the cassette tapes can be placed in storage.
I've finished listening to my daily podcasts from Canada, the US and Britain. My daily LJ reading is caught up, as is my Yahoo News page.
Thus, I am trapped in my cube with nothing to do.
I could write some more square dance choreography, but neither my heart nor my mind are set right for that just now. Both need to be engaged correctly for anything of quality to be produced and I've realized that forcing either leads only to frustration. Besides, it's been nearly three days since my last square dance engagement and one day until the next: I'm rather enjoying the brief vacation.
I'm also finding it very difficult to get myself worked up into an xmas card frenzy this year. A few will be sent to family, but it's going to be a vastly reduced set when compared to the prior three years.
More than anything, I'd like to catch up on some reading but doing so at work is Just Not Done --to put it mildly-- even if there's nothing else to do.

kent4str has taken today off work as a mental health day, while cuyahogarvr has been largely house-bound; I could do something similar but they already put up with me more than any human should be required to, so I'll leave them their space for now.
Perhaps I'll run up to Frederick for some xmas shopping at lunch. A long lunch. Until 5 PM or so.
Any other ideas?
