I hate taxes.

I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate taxes. And payrolls. And paperwork. And feeling like I'd rather be anywhere in the world than where I am right now. But this too shall pass, it's just a day and really not such a bad one. I just feel right now that I'm turning into a tedious, gray second rate paperpusher, and if it weren't for the fact that I actually like my co-workers I'd just give up.
I don't know why this seems like such a particularly dire fate to me lately. Maybe it's just spring fever. Maybe it's just rebelling against being an adult - I guess I'd better be adult by now if I'm going to be at all, huh? I've had jobs I liked better, and jobs I despised. This is middle ground, really... but just this moment I feel like I'm only staying because I can't come up with what I consider an acceptable alternative to fill my own obligations otherwise. :( That's a dreary feeling.
On a rather brighter note, I've had This Island Earth stuck in my head for much of the morning. Not all of it, sadly, just splintered fragments. You know, pieces of chorus and bits of verses jabbing at my brain and distracting me from whatever I am supposed to be doing. I finally managed to run down the lyrics online, so at least I have a more COHERENT version of it stuck in my head now! *G* I do love that song.
