Sullen

The air is heavy, all sounds are dull...

I was going to rhyme some phrases to describe the current mood in the office, but I quickly ran out of words this time. Today was not the happiest of days at the office. I don't know about the mood of each person there for certain, but today was the first day, since I started working there about a year ago, that I've felt the office itself have an air of sullenness.

I really mean the office itself felt gloomy. Four dismissals since two fridays ago, and even then most people were still cheery and discreetly joked about it. But this last fifth one felt like they took the wrong Jenga block out of the tower. Nothing really came crashing down (except maybe morale), but for a while there, I could feel that everything was changed.

It looked pretty much the same, people seemed to be doing pretty much what they usually do, but the feeling was right there, heavy, thick, almost solid enough to lean on.

That was little less than a month ago - I'm finishing off this entry due to previous incompleteness. Sorry for not taking care of you like before, Blog. I keep trying.
