Good grief

Joints feel really sore, but especially knees.

Also today was one of those days when I seem hypersensitive to sound. Had two researchers in my office and I don't know if they were talking at unreasonable levels of volume or if my brain was just processing it that way, but it was so difficult to cope with. And when people slammed doors it felt like a bomb going off in my head.

I've also realized I have extreme trouble concentrating on one thing sometimes. My mind wanders all over the place.

My coworker leaves tomorrow and my contract ends in December. Maybe I'm just stressed at all the uncertainty.

Hmm... Do you have a job where you can just listen to music instead of listening to people? As long as you can focus with music on, you can do that. If the sound thing is phycological, music you like may help.

I had headphones in with music and I could still hear them. I think there are just days when I can't process multiple stimuli. :(

Eeek, hope you can home and get some nice quiet time and rest to refresh.

I don't think I've ever particularly had pain in my joints, but I abhor when anything's sore.
Lame rhymes aside, I usually have the opposite problem. If there isn't background noise or music of any kind, even if I were to find them annoying or intrusive, I just tend to drift, feeling numb and staring blankly at my work without realizing the time I'm wasting.
I hate dealing with uncertainty, I couldn't imagine how it would feel to be constantly worried how long you'll be employed and if you'll find more work... Best of luck on that.
