Feeling a bit down

frualeydisI don't know what it is, I just feel like curling up in a ball and forget about the world outside.
The main reason is that I can't focus on my job. There's so many things I have to write and I have an idea about the general layout of this chapter, but I have zero inspiration.
First I though it was due to pregnancy, but I think I'm actually getting into a mild depression and I don't like it at all.
I got an email from a woman at the other unversity where I teach telling me that if I expected hotel rooms to be booked i really had to give them a list of which lecturers where going to need them. Well I did! A month ago! And now I feel unfairly treated and worried about the hotel room for next week's guest lecturer.
She also told med that they generally didn't do that kind of things, but the individual teacher did that. How could I know if nobody told me? I don't work there regularly.
It's the way it was written, assuming that I should know everything about how they work at that university, where they apparently have very different routines from "my" department at Gothenburg University.
And it's just grey outside and I just want to be at home.

Snotty e-mails....
Date: 2003-10-08 07:09 am (UTC)Try writing back explaining that, you *did* send the information, a month ago,and pointing out that there's no need to take such an offensively aggressive attitude just because she has never previously taken the trouble to inform you of their usual way of doing things. If people get snotty with me, I bat the whole attitude right back at them and let *them* deal with some of what they're dishing out.
Sorry you're feeling down - but don't let that woman's overly tweaked-up sense of petty officialdom add to it. Tell her what you think of her attitude. It might help get the blues out of your system and perk you up a bit?
And perhaps get some daylight bulbs? We're moving well out of Summer now so you could be feeling down for seasonal reasons.
Hope you're feeling better soon.
HUG!

Thanks for caring.
