Pondering at work...

Location: Sydney, Work office (trying to not mention where I actually work in case I get into trouble for beetchin')

Waiting for a phone call to have input into an appraisal (come on, John, hurry up and call...) - third one for the night. I've tried to get them all in on one day to minimise disruption.

Work is a bit boring at the moment. I really don't like the client office. It is so dreary. The work also is not overly exciting. I'm experiencing a bit of a lull and Pete is in an unusually cheery mood (which, I am sure, will not last very long). So I'm attempting to slack off a bit. Not that it is working since it is now 8pm and I'm still in the office. On the other hand, I haven't actually done any work since 3pm.

Actually, life is a bit boring at the moment. Which is why I put my hand up to go to Russia. We won a big job there in Energy and they seem to be in a dire need of native speakers. I said I'm interested, but not sure what the job involves (waiting for the same John as above to call me).

I wonder if it is me and I have a very short attention span or if it is lifestyle driven - where I become puzzled when I have extra 10 minutes to spare that I previously didn't. There seems to be not much happening from the work perspective (apart from more of the usual) or on personal level (zip, nothing, fark all). I wonder if it is the latter that is really the gap. It is possible that I rely on my job to provide all the stimulation and excitement.
That actually seems very likely. So the next question, do I seek further excitement through work, or do I drop it and try to find stimulation in personal life...

Hmmm....
