Restless

I've noticed in my life that I'm the type to get irritated with situations. Rather than saying "Isn't this great?" or even "I'm comfortable," I seem to just get dissatisfied. On the one hand, not being content with the status quo implies that I might be successful at something someday, but a question I've been asking myself recently is: will I ever be happy if all I do is constantly think about how things could be better?

That makes sense.

It occurred to me a little later that I actually do derive quite a bit of pleasure out of "fixing things", and that my current ennui is probably caused by my knowledge of all the things I want to do something about but am not actually acting on.

Part of it is that I just do not have a proper workspace. I keep saying I could go to the library or to a coffeeshop, but really I just want my own space--an office. It'll be great to have that again.

*counting the hours until the move...in January, so that's a lot of hours*

...I had no idea I had any influence on you. You had a profound impact on me; I never even considered that it might have gone both ways.
