Coming back to this office (student loans, for those not in the know) is turning out to be way harder than I had originally imagined. I'm fatigued beyond belief. At least the students aren't giving me any unnecessary grief, so that's been a blessing.

The door closes officially in two minutes. Here I sit, staring at the clock on my taskbar, willing the time by.

I also found out today that a good friend's Mom just passed away from lung cancer. Ironically, it makes me want a cigarette.
