[silly, work]

It is extremly amusing to be having an IRC conversation with a co-worker where I'm typing and he's replying verbally (yes, we sit fairly near each other).

It's funnier yet when his neighbor is actually in the office, and wants to know who he's talking to.

Yes, we do this a lot, but she's usually not around. :)

[Seasonal Affective Disorder] It's started...

Oh, indeed, the crappy time of year stuff has begun.

I know because I was cranky all day and didn't _notice_ until a co-worker commented that I was certainly acting like it was Monday.

And, well, it _is_ Monday, but that doesn't usually have a huge affect on my actions.

Snappy, oh yes. Low energy, check. Tired all day? Yep.

Gonna start using my lamp after I post this. And start being less generally social and work on getting more regular touch. And stuff. And be more aware of my internal state, since I need to have a _much_ better awareness than normal.

(Note: started != constant, yet. I will continue to have ups and downs, and probably will continue to forget that I have them during the up periods, because I forget every year, until Jan and Feb. Then, I'll have mostly downs but will _accept_ that fact. And then the ups and downs will reverse from mid March until May, when I should be mostly normal again)

*sigh*

Now I go sit in front of my light and read. And try to sleep earlier than I had been all weekend, since I can't imagine that was helping.

[SAD] As for my socialness...

I don't go _completely_ anti-social, even in the winter. Hell, I wasn't _completely_ anti-social (but was far closer than I've ever been) during the work hell that was my summer.

I just tend to not do much large group social, tend to be far less likely to want to/have energy to visit other people.

If I went completely anti-social, how would I get the cuddles I need even more in the winter than I do in the summer? :)

So, for those individuals who were intending to get time with me, or who want to, that is still possible. It'll happen less frequently this time of year, and I make no claims to how good company I might be. But if you're not asking much of me, that's likely fine.

(and my bright green light for an hour, and emergenC, and vitamin B, and other such stuff has improved my mood. Now for some sleep)
