Quiet

It's been a really quiet last couple of weeks at work.  I don't know which is worse - having nothing to do, or having too much to do.  I know my workload is always up and down, but I really don't care for the downs.  I want my brain to be engaged in doing something, and when it isn't then I start to feel very restless, very unsettled and very unfulfilled.  Having too much work can be quite stressful, but there is also a certain level of stress you get when you have too little - especially when the threat of layoffs is hanging over you.  I don't have any vacation planned until October - for my sanity, I might need to take at least a few days off before then.
