I want to be one of those people who are addicted to exercise and eating right.
But no, I'm addicted to writing and Googling things I actually don't care to know the answers to.

My nerves. They're spent.
Had an exam until 12:00 and then started an interview at 12:15. And I still have to make a difficult phone call.
Can't I just go back to bed and call it a day?

I love the words "with all due respect", because it lets people know that I don't mean to show them the utmost of respect, only what is due to them. Which, at this point, is none. Please don't come back.

I was at work for a full 2.5 hours after being at home all week, sick.
We got some bad news, and instead of just dreading the customer's arrival, my heart started racing and I started wheezing, and I got cold.
So I'm home again.

One of my assessments for uni is to grade five of my peers' work and it's so frustrating.
One person put minimal effort into their assignment but all the answers were correct. We were told to give an explanation of no more than 150 words and this person wrote seven.

This is the sickest I've been in like five years and I have an assignment due tomorrow. I finished most of it, but I still have to write a 1000 word essay.
Will it get done? Probably, I love typing.
Will it get done well?
Eh.

My boss has just accused me of being an electricity thief for charging my personal phone (which I also use for work).
I am therefore unplugging my laptop because it is my personal laptop, and when the battery runs out, it's out.

I think I'm almost done with a story I've been reshuffling and rewriting for over four years now. I actually can't wait to just get it out of the way.

I decided that my horror story will be about a nightmare I once had.
It was about a circus/theme park where the rides were intentionally made dangerous as a means of execution.

Eh, a good story can be told more than once. Imagine if we stopped writing about people moving into a haunted house and ignoring all the warning signs.

A nagging little voice kept telling me "leave early leave early leave early" at work, so I asked my boss if I could leave at one and he said yes.
