I am SO bored.

The app I've been working on is in integration. The development meeting has been cancelled. I have nothing to work on. I'm bored out of my skull, and there's too much traffic near my cube to get away with drawing my strip.

I have discovered the source of the noise beneath the floor, and after a few minutes of miscommunication through wax paper and duct tape (to seal off the work area so dust and dirt don't blow into cubicles) found out that a) they're building a new e-tech center below us, and b) most of the work is being done on the floor so, supposedly, I won't have to worry about a chainsaw coming through the floor.

(Besides, by the sound of it, if something does come through it'll pop up in the cube next door.)

Going to look over old code now...

Even I have my breaking point.

I have had it up to here with my neighbor. (Let's call her "Bridget" to protect the innocent.) Maybe I should friends-lock this, but she's never going to read it and I am beyond caring.

I have had it up to here with myself for being such a stupid softie and letting myself get walked all over again.

Let me explain why I currently want to kill something.

( The deal with Bridget and why she's been taking advantage of me. )

Now I *thought* I got my point across that doing this last-minute was incredibly inconsiderate and not fair to either of us. I even gave her my work number, telling her if she had such an emergency mid-day to call me at work, so I could arrange things to flex out prior to rush hour, get her pills and get back (and outside of rush hour, the entire trip would take a max of 40 minutes). Even that, I think, is unfair to me, but it's better than having it dumped on me at the last second during the worst driving time of the day. My co-workers agree that I'm being used, and the lack of notice is PISSING ME OFF. Geez, I give rides to another neighbor, but she gives me notice, and it's usually to places that we're BOTH going.

( The straw that broke the camel's back. )

I mean, really: is this selfish? I know she's got it hard, but I am sick and tired of being taken advantage of - especially when she turns around and won't take care of herself. I'm not a chauffeur! Doing favors for a friend in need is one thing, but this is enough.

AARGH!!
