You know, the kind that is just "feh" for absolutely no reason whatsoever. 
I slept enough, i was on time with breakfast and everything up
until i started to physically get ready for work and then BAM!. I
slipped into some assbackwards mood that made me leave the house 30
minutes late and now i feel like im in a funk. I feel uncomfortable and
i don't know why..i was half dreading the work i would have to do when
i actually got here and now im sitting at my desk with a gross amount
of entry and i'm procrastinating big time.Seeing as my boss isn't in today all i can think about is  just hightailing it the F out of here.

I think it's pretty normal to have at least one day a week like that.  Anytime I'm on here during the day, it's safe to say I'm procrastinating. For me, it's the worst when I come in knowing I have one big project to do that's going to take a while and won't be broken up by anything else.  Lack of variation in my work makes me want to avoid it like the plague, and it sounds like you've got the same issue to some extent.

I guess.My boss is here one day a week and the nurses(all 4 of them) are in an out of the office MAYBE twice a day. Their stay is anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and that is under the assumption they even need to come in.So basically i'm alone to do what needs to get done, which in real time takes me about 2 1/2-3 hours at most but just knowing that no one is here to make me do it all at once i spread it out over the course of 7 1/2 hours.It's a good job, don't get me wrong but it is so fucking monotonous i want to scream.

My fiance and I both work in finance and she is at her breaking point, she hates it.  I am not crazy about it either but I am the type of person who never expected to love my career, I just see it as paycheck and not as my life's work.  She always thought she would love her career and is having trouble dealing with the fact that she hates it and as a result is in a perpetual mood much like the one you said you were in today.  It is hard for me to deal with because she just can't get her head around it and I get at least one e-mail a day asking if she can quit.  I told her that we need her to stick around until mid-January when she gets her bonus, which should be pretty sizeable and we need every bit of it with a mortgage to pay now.  And to me, if I were in her position I would just be like "whatever,  I really can't do anything until after the New Year I may as well not dwell on it"...but she can't seem to do that and it is driving me f-ing crazy.Sorry, needed to vent a bit and this seemed like a good thread to do it in.

i have a funk mon, tues and thurs.  I commute from bay ridge to westchester 3 days a week, leaving my house at 6am to be at work at 830.  i then leave to go to school, and i dont get home until 1030 at night, so i barely get any sleep.  and my boss and this other guy i help out are just on my last nerves.  i really dont feel like i'm myself here, and i'm constantly butting heads with some people and i'm burned out from this job that i'm at the point where it's so obvious i have the "i dont give a fuck attitude".  I just want to get something else closer to home and what im going to school for.  even though i get to work from home wed & fri, it doesnt help.  Im just miserable when I'm here, but the mood changes as soon as i leave, which i guess is good that i dont let it carry over into the rest of my life

It's a somewhat similar situation for me.  There are a lot of people in my office, but my job is pretty solitary in many ways.  So, I go through a number of days not really talking with people much, and some of my projects get really monotonous.  I get the "I CANNOT go do this crap again..." vibe when I get out of bed in the morning.  It's much easier when I have 3 or 4 things going on and I'm working with people on different projects.Working alone on pretty much the same thing all day for an extended period of time feels more like punishment than work sometimes.

The commute is the funny part. I don't think about it much in the morning but i actually look forward to it getting out. It's about an hour drive North on 18 and as busy as it is it's the only time where i don't have to think about anything.But yeah getting up at 7am to be here for 9 is redonkulous.
