First working day of the new year

I'm feeling fed up. I've been in work a mere 2.5hrs and I'm already thing of how many hours left until hometime. I need something to occupy me. There's only so long I can spend staring at excel spreadsheets pretending to be doing something and I'm already fed up. No work going on cos of the gale force winds, so nothing really to be done as a maintenance department –winds also mean we can't get on with the stuff we would normally dive into with production being stopped.
 
Plus my stomach is doing its usual 'back-at-work' thing of pretending to need more food just cos I'm sat at a desk. Water being sipped, nearly time for another coffee, 3hrs til lunch.
 
Oh well, I'm sure I'll find something to entertain myself with – it's not the best start to the New Year though. Maybe I'll work on my positive thinking and get a few personal things sorted while it's quiet..........
 
There's always stuff I can do, I know that. I just need to pull myself out of the doldrums and get motivated but it's hard when the weather's lousy and I'm bored and I just want to go home to bed. I'm already thinking of ways I can have a few days off without getting too mired in loss of holidays or too much sickness. This is bad, it's really, really bad.
 
So things I can do:
- work on my CV/ application forms
- work on my TMA that's due in 2 days
- work on my plan for the year
- outline how I will tidy the house this weekend
- prepare for next week's food
 
I can do this and make today a productive day in the office. Even if it's technically personally productive and not otherwise.......
