This week I adopted the alias "Lisa" as a result of patrons asking for my name. These are not your average Joes and I'm immediately put on guard when they start interrogating me for personal information ("what high school do you go to?", "are you married?", "are you in college?", "how many kids do you have?"), or, in one case, a guy seemed nervous, asked my name, and then told me he's been checking me out lately (my immediate response: "I'm married.")
Oh, the hazards of working with the public.

For several months I've had no motivation to do anything outside of the day to day required tasks, which mostly involves just going to work and maybe an appointment here and there. Oh, and reading, playing Mah-Jong or Spider Solitaire and listening to a book. Sometimes I clean and feel like getting things done or doing things out of the ordinary. Overall, while there is a lot I think about doing, there isn't much I've been doing. Usually I blame it on have a tiring job (being an introvert in a public service job), and now I can blame it on being pregnant, but now that I think about it, this has gone on way too long. Guess I'll have to wait for the next shrink appointment to see if a med increase is necessary--although with winter fast approaching this may be necessary anyway.
Does anyone have any tips on non-medical-induced motivation?
