There's actually sun outside. I know it won't last, so I move in front of the large window to feel as much of the warmth as I can. I can see the clouds creeping across the sky, blocking the sunlight and transforming the blue and white to a bleak gray. As quickly as the sun came in through my windows, it leaves, taking the warmth, and replacing it with the sorrowful winter day


My company gives two floating holidays a year, for taking the day off whenever we feel like it. Unfortunately they don't roll over into the next year, and I haven't used them this year yet, so I decided to use them today and Thursday. Of course, I am cursed (or maybe blessed -- you decide) that whenever I take a day off for personal time, everything breaks down. Today is no exception. As soon as I finished lamenting the loss of the sun, the phone rings. It's work. I talk them through it, and not five minutes after I hang up the phone, it rings again.
