Second day, not too nice.

Today was one of those days in which nothing really bad happened at work, and still I had the discomforting impression that it was simply not worth it. I suppose we all have that feeling sometimes, that we don´t belong where we are, or we are slightly off balance, the phone seems to ring at precisely the wrong time, the words coming out of our mouths do not sound our own, past seems futile and future is.................exactly.
I know these days are ours to weather; I know these days I should feel happy for how lucky I am; I know these days would be considered spectacular by 2/3 of humankind; but all these certainties just make me feel worse, because to boredom I must add guilt for not being a happy camper!!
I have  added the Becker-Posner blog to my list of important links, but this is only to hide the fact that I do not read it regularly as I should.
I´m reading the World is Flat by Friedman at the moment: very interesting, in particular as a way to step back a bit and try to look at the game with some clarifying distance. If somehow I one day find a way to strangle the little worm in my head who eats all my memories, I will surely read this book again and repeat it to anyone bored enough to listen.
I´ve started listening to the LBSchool podcasts in the car on the way to work. For the first three sound quality and edition is lousy, but content was interesting. So far the guest speakers are all LBS professors, and they are always smart and articulate people to listen to.
