I can't sleep. I don't want to go to work. I just can't handle the mind numbing boredom of it all. In the past week or two, I've managed to read over half a Bill Bryson book, several chapters of Prelude to Foundation by Asimov, play around with XHTML and CSS, post on the newsgroups at work (giving JavaScript advice to an imbecile who is probably paid 50% more than me), and in a few spare moments I've written code in ColdFusion that's incredibly easy to maintain and gained me yet another small award.
The new intranet standard is late, a draft was due in October, we still haven't seen anything. It's being written by someone who doesn't appear to have any technical knowledge. If we're lucky, we might finally be allowed to publish HTML 4.01 (instead of HTML 3.2) and then we'd only be 5 years behind that standard. XHTML Transitional would be nice, but we don't have the tools to enforce that. Mind you, we still don't have a link checking tool, that broke back in August.
It's not just me though, even my boss is getting annoyed and frustrated. She's glad she's retiring soon. Lucky her.
