I'm sure you, too, have those days you just want to cry.

In a crummy mood for really no reason at all.

And then the day doesn't make it any better.

Like when the program you're working in suddenly kicks you out because they have to reboot (without warning) since for some reason other people can't get into the program. And you miss the 5 second window you're offered to answer the dialog box asking if you want to 'save' since you're caught off-guard and rather confused at the time. And there's no way to recover what you've been working on ALL morning. And so you have to start again, building your spreadsheet, digging out random pieces of information from 10 years' worth of tax returns that are each 1/2 a foot thick.

Getting out of the office sounds good, but then what? Food or shopping are not healthy habits when it comes to nursing a bad attitude. And living in Houston makes sitting outside or taking a walk a bit of a smelly option.

What does one do in the middle of the work day to get out of the crummies?

*sigh*

    I know these days well. Sometimes I go browse through Halmark and read some cards. It usually distracts me a bit.
