Not the best start to the year

[selenay]

You know that horrible sinking feeling you get when the holidays are over
and you have to go back to work? Well, that was me on New Year's Day. For
the first time I really dreaded going back to work. I have come back to
work, though, and yesterday was surprisingly not too bad. I'm not happy
about the whole being back here thing, but I left at a sensible time
yesterday and didn't have the urge to kill anyone.

Today I have the urge to kill people. At some stage it's going to start
snowing and I'll have to drive home through it. I'm depressed about the
whole job thing and really don't want to be here.

The bit that was the final straw today? My mug has disappeared :-(

I had a lovely thermos flask that my parents gave me the Christmas after I
started here. It's been in the office with me for over eighteen months (um,
yes, it took me a few months to remember to bring it in), sitting on my desk
every day, and nobody had stolen it. Yesterday I was too busy to even make a
cup of tea so I didn't spot that the mug had disappeared until this morning
when I stood up, looked for the mug...and it wasn't there. I didn't take it
home with me before Christmas, nobody has put it into a drawer (we've
checked them all) and it's not lurking on the floor. My lovely mug that my
parents gave me is gone :-(

They gave me a new mug when they came back from their last trip to Canada
with the idea of replacing my office mug (the lid leaked a bit) and I've
been meaning to bring it in, but now I'm not so certain. Surely I can
survive the next...seven months without cups of tea during the day. Right?

Is it time to go home yet? Can I quit yet? Would anyone mind if I spent the
day hiding in the bathroom crying?
