Today Began With Such Promise

I was excited to go to work today because I finally got to move into an office! I've been stuck out in a bull pen open space area for over a year.  I move all my stuff including a gigantic monitor (which I love) and get everything set up only to receive an email an hour later NOT to move into the office because they are reconfiguring the space for 2 desks instead of 1, tomorrow instead of in a few months like we were originally told.

So I stuff everything into the rolling file drawer and move it and then the monitor, the footrest etc etc all back to my old space and go home.

Then, a well meaning friend posts on Facebook that he and his wife are expecting.  He tags me in the post because he wants my help with his resume because he's also just lost his job. Sigh. I'm happy and sad for them.  Frustrated and sad for myself and exhausted because I couldn't get to sleep last night until 3 am.   Why does everything have to be so hard?
