Oh why am I here?

Everyday for the last week or so, I've asked why I am here. Here, being work. Like today for instance. It's Veterans Day. (Thank you veterans!) Me, I'm at work. Why? I have no clue. With banks closed, none of my deals can close. No fed, no wires. So instead, I sat around doing personal tasks in order to keep myself from going slowly insane. I straightened out a medical bill. I networked with two fellow attorneys via e-mail. I applied to four firms. I read a book. I stood and stared out the window a while. Now mind you, our boss is AWOL for most of this. And therein lies the problem. We are all dodging the boss these days. The boss has gone wackier than in prior months. Won't work on any of our trades, putting us in perpetual hold, making all sorts of insane requests, been moodier than...I can't even come up with the rest of that phrase. That's how bad it's been. Billables have been non-existent. And I'm sure I'll catch the brunt of that later, but in the mean time, no one wants to approach the boss to find out what the hell is going on. And I plain refuse to beg to make people do their work. It's not my job. Especially when that person is the boss.
