Grrrrr.

Am annoyed at everything. Just have a vague feeling of general unease and irritation with most of the world. I hope I am feeling better by the time I actually have to see people tonight but somehow I doubt it. Also am starting to remember how annoying I found the whole Harry Potter phenomenon back when the last book came out. This has nothing to do with fandom--lj has been thankfully free of anything annoyance-inducing for me. Fans, loving book, excited, caring about characters, wibbling, nerves--this is all good.

But I so feel myself turning back into an HP Scrooge with all this hype. Perhaps I am unconsciously building up defense against disappointment I feel is coming or something? Could be...though I seem to recall being equally Scrooge-like the last time when I had zero expectations. Must look up cynical lj users to focus on in the next week... Don't know when my book will come. I'm pretty sure I've got one pre-ordered but it would come to work so I probably won't get it until Monday at the earliest. I don't care about being spoiled exactly, but should probably just read it for myself before getting anybody else's opinions. I think months went by before I got around to the last book--now I feel more like it's assigned reading. Hopefully OotP will turn out to be one of those excellent books that puts me in a good mood for days.

I have a pile of work in front of me and feel too fragile to do it. Dammit. I hate these kinds of moods.

ETA: Just got the most obnoxious message on my answering machine at home where the telemarketer pretended to be a friend giving me the number for that weight loss program I wanted. Shut up, fake telemarketer lady.

The weather is definitely a factor. My hair ITCHES all the time. I had a ghost story record when I was a kid with a story of a man who met this ghost who just wanted somebody to brush her hair (it unfortunately turned into snakes if you did it but anyway...). I feel like that ghost. My hair just frizzes up and twists and no matter how often I comb it it just tangles right back up again. I can feel it doing it right now. ARRRRRGH!

Also, have just discovered two livid red spots beneath my eyes. It looks kind of like I have two black eyes but without the black part. Tried to cover them up but they still show and it looks, well, I think ghastly is the right word. ::shudder::

Had a great time last night, though.:-)

Finished the work mostly (now seem to be one of the only people in the office) and then got hit with more stuff I need to do by Monday morning, some of which I can't physically do. Still I do feel satisfaction looking at that huge pile of letters I'll be sending out on Monday.
