Today I have felt hateful all day. The reason that I use this expression is that years ago I was reading an online article about embarrassing things that people have said or done during their early years in the workplace. One woman had contributed that when she was in her first year of work after graduating she asked her manager if she could go home early one day “because I’m feeling hateful.” I seem to recall that she said that her bemused boss acquiesced! Anyway, I thought that this phrase was very funny and it stuck in my mind.
And today I have indeed felt hateful. Usually when I feel like this there’s a reason for it, whether personal or professional. However today I have just been in an off mood, for no particular reason that I can think of other than a fairly large admin task that I really needed to do. As I had anticipated it took up the majority of my day, and when I finished it I didn’t really feel much of a sense of achievement. In fact I even felt a sense of foreboding. Even my much loved French evening class (by Zoom) didn’t lift my spirits much.
It may be because I’m feeling a bit under the weather, it may be that I’m a bit wistful after our lovely ski holiday; I should be grateful that there’s no specific reason. Tomorrow is a new day!
