Stuff is looking up, sort of. I was terribly discouraged when this project I've been working on rather laboriously for six months was looking like it would produce very minimal positive results, but I got information from a regional office in the middle of the day that meant that the project as a whole had produced double the amount of positive results I thought it had. That was nice. It enabled me to get out of this "what the heck have I been wasting my time on" slump and back into being productive. AND I've only got four more work days left before I leave for Thanksgiving. AND a lot of that will be spent doing not-so-workish things.

The quote on my email signature at work is "I just carry hope in my heart. Hope is not a feeling of certainty, that everything ends well. Hope is just a feeling that life and work have meaning." - Vaclav Havel. It makes me feel better every time I look at it.
