workaholic?

This isn't really about anything in particular I guess...I'm just having one of those days. you know the kind....you feel like you could sleep another 2 or 3 hours at least, your head is a little fuzzy, and your body's a little achy. Yesterday was an extremely busy day when i realized i hadn't done several things I was supposed to and then opened up some bids, spoke to a construction rep and then decided we needed to get estimates from some other people. then one of those other people proceeded to tell me that my design was bad...as though i had actually asked him for his opinion.
anyway...the boyfriend decided that we should go to the gym together last night and that i should do weights, which i usually do for my legs but not my arms and now i'm feeling kind of blah.
i have to conduct an interview at 9 with a guy who's dad works in our office. his gpa's sort of not that good, but for some reason the stupid guys who did his pre-screen interview gave him a 10/10. i understand that he may be a great guy and we don't judge people solely on gpa, but when we have so many applicants who have outstanding gpa's AND personality and leadership skills, it's hard to justify giving this guy a 10. so i'm sort of in a tough spot here...i mean his dad has been here longer than i've been alive. so anyway...i don't really want to do it.
and then i agree to go to lunch with a coworker and a vendor...and i don't really care to see the vendor right at this moment because i had him give me some advice on a project and work up estimates for me, but i've yet to actually get the project done. i know he's going to ask me about it, and i just don't feel like going into it right now. i have a ton of other things on my plate right now, and i haven't had time to get to it yet, plus the fact that i'm waiting on some other people to finalize some things for another project so i can decide how much pipe, how many valves, etc i'm actually going to need for this.
and i also agreed to drive to the next town over to pick up my sister's paycheck for her (her direct deposit hasn't kicked in yet apparently) because she's out of town but needs the money in her account. so that'll take at least an hour out of my day.
in general i just feel very blah today. i don't want to be here...i'd rather be at home cooking some chili or something.
