NEW WINDOWS WILL COST $12,000!!! THE WATER HEATER REPLACEMENT GUYS STILL THINK WE'RE TRYING TO REPLACE A WATER HEATER IN BOSTON. WE DON'T LIVE IN BOSTON!!!!

THE FOUNDATION GUYS CUT THROUGH MY KITCHEN FLOOR WITH A DULL BLADE AND NOW THE HOUSE IS FULL OF SMOKE AND THE PLUMBING ESTIMATE CAME BACK ABOUT DOUBLE WHAT I'D HOPED AND THE BABY IS FUSSING AND I HAVEN'T EATEN YET TODAY AND GODDAMN BUT MY NECK HURTS AND I BLAME NORTH KOREA

I STAYED UP UNTIL 4 AM LAST NIGHT WRITING A TERRIBLE MIDSEM PAPER BECAUSE I PUT IT OFF DURING SPRING BREAK AND I'D ALREADY GOTTEN ONE EXTENSION FOR THE MONO. THE PAPER IS TERRIBLE! THE PARAMETERS FOR THE ASSIGNMENT WERE VAGUE AND I DIDN'T DO A VERY GOOD JOB WRITING IT!
AND THEN IT WAS DUE AT 10 THIS MORNING, AND I KEPT HITTING 'SNOOZE' ON MY ALARM AND DIDN'T GET UP UNTIL 10:04! THEN I RUSHED TO CLASS TO TURN IN THE PAPER, ONLY TO FIND OUT IT WAS CANCELLED! SO I SLIPPED IT UNDER MY PROFESSOR'S DOOR. I HOPE GET GETS IT! GAHHHH I HATE THIS.

ALSO, I FORGOT MY ID CARD TO GET INTO THE BUILDING AT HAD TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR ME, OUTSIDE, WITHOUT A COAT. DID I MENTION IT'S FUCKING SNOWING? AGAIN? I'M SICK OF THIS FUCKING SNOW! WE'RE PAST SPRING BREAK, I EXPECT SUNSHINE AND AT LEAST WEATHER IN THE HIGH FIFTIES. IOWA NEEDS TO GET ITS SHIT TOGETHER!

GRUMMBBLLLLEEEEE!

Hm.

I have an assignment that I have to write for tomorrow. It's on two photographers. But they're like... still alive. And young. And still taking photos. So I'm really unsure of how much, if any, biographical information I'm going to be able to find on the internets due to the fact that they're not like historical people. Here's hoping its not too hard.

Then I have a math test on Thursday. So there's that.

That's about it, really.

I SUDDENLY FIND MYSELF HAVING TO THINK ABOUT FUTURE CHILDREN WHEN I THOUGHT THIS DECISION WAS TO BE TAKEN GRADUALLY! I HAVE A MEDICAL CONDITION WHICH MEANS IT'S PROBABLY NOT A GOOD IDEA TO GET PREGNANT FOR THE NEXT YEAR OR SO. MR ALTO HAS A MEDICAL CONDITION WHICH MEANS HE SOON NEEDS TO GO ON A DRUG WHICH WILL PREVENT HIM HAVING BABIES. THIS IS VERY STRESSFUL.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING GOING ON AT WORK AND I'M TIRED AND IN NEED OF A NAP IN ORDER TO MENTALLY PROCESS SOME OF THE BULLSHIT REALIZATIONS I'VE FINALLY COME TO BUT NOOOOOOOOOO, I HAVE TO SIT HERE AT WORK, BORED OF MY ASS, UNTIL 5.


GODDAMNIT, AND I THOUGH APRIL WOULD BE A BUSY MONTH.

I FUCKING HATE VERIZON WHY DO THEY MAKE THEIR SERVICE AS DIFFICULT AS POSSIBLE, I SWEAR, I AM TELLING THEM THAT I AM READY TO CANCEL MY ACCOUNT.

WHERE ELSE COULD I GET LANDLINE PHONE AND INTERNET SERVICE IN NYC? SOMEONE HELP A SISTER OUT!

TPS, is VOIP or internet phone service at all a possibility? Guess not, sounds as tho you're talking hardwired. I get you tho, Verizon's the only decent coverage out here, and they are truly asshats. You should bow down and thank your lucky starz, however, that you do NOT EVER have to ever deal with Qwest.

WE GOT OUR SO-CALLED PAY REVIEW TODAY AND MINE IS LESS THAN 2%, WHEN THE RATE OF INFLATION IS 2.5%.

I QUERIED THIS AND WAS TOLD THAT IT'S BECAUSE, AS A LONGSTANDING MEMBER OF STAFF I AM AT THE TOP OF THE GRADE AND MY PAY IS CAPPED AND SO I WILL GET LESS OF A PAY RISE THAN PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T BEEN THERE AS LONG. SO MUCH FOR REWARDING LOYALTY.

AND THEY ARE TRYING (AS THEY ALWAYS DO AT BONUS TIME) TO GET OUT OF PAYING ME A BONUS. I HAVE TO MAKE 125% OF TARGET TO GET A BONUS, AND ALSO HAVE TO CLOSE ALL MY CASES WITHIN SIX MONTHS OR I GET NO BONUS NO MATTER HOW MANY I HAVE CLOSED. I AM 135% OF TARGET, BUT BECAUSE OF MATTERS THAT ARE TOTALLY OUT OF MY CONTROL IN RELATION TO FOUR OLD CASES, I WILL PROBABLY GET NO BONUS AT ALL, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NOTHING I COULD POSSIBLY HAVE DONE TO PROGRESS THESE CASES AND MANAGEMENT KNOW AND REALISE THAT. THE BONUS IS NOT A HUGE SUM OF MONEY, £1,000 FOR SIX MONTHS WORK (AND I LOSE 51% OF THAT TO TAX AND NATIONAL INSURANCE) BUT IT'S BETTER THAN NOTHING.

SO I HAVE DECIDED THAT IF THEY TRY TO STIFF ME ON THE BONUS, I WILL LOOK FOR A NEW JOB THAT PAYS ME REAL MONEY FOR MY SKILLS. I HAVE TRADED OFF LOW PAY FOR GOOD BENEFITS BUT THE BALANCE IS STARTING TO TIP THE OTHER WAY NOW.

FUCK GEOGRAPHY!

I tried Vonage a year or so ago, and the quality of my phone line sucked.

I MIGHT BE CANCELLING VERIZON AND MOVING TO TIME WARNER TODAY! WHOPPEE! DOWN WITH YOU, VERIZON! YOU SUCK BIG TIME!

I'M FEELING ABSOLUTELY FINE RIGHT NOW AND I'M IN NO MOOD TO COMPLAIN ABOUT ANYTHING! BUT I'M SHOUTING ANYWAY AND I HOPE THAT'S OK WITH ALL Y'ALL! THAT OK WITH Y'ALL?

HAS ANYONE HEARD FROM JROSSI4R? HER LAST COMMENT WAS ON MARCH 11. I EMAILED HER YESTERDAY BUT SHE NEVER ANSWERED.

ICONOMY, I HOPE SHE'S OKAY! LET US KNOW IF YOU HEAR FROM HER!

FUCK FUCKING FUCKITY FUCK! FUCK SICKNESS AND WEATHER AND OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND MY CONTROL! FUCK ME FOR NOT EXERCISING BETTER CONTROL OVER THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT AREN'T! FUCK BEING SO CLOSE TO THE FINANCIAL EDGE THAT THE SLIGHTEST NUDGE BRINGS EVERYTHING CRASHING DOWN! FUCK! Actually I don't feel like shouting any more. I just feel like crying.

I'M STRESSED OUT! MY STUDENTS ARE STRESSED OUT! WE'RE ONE BIG GLUEY HAIRY BALL OF STRESS AROUND HERE! AND IT'S THREE WEEKS TILL FINALS!

IT'S 80+ DEGREES IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND THE HUMIDITY SUCKS. I MISS VEGAS ALREADY!

MY GODDAMN CAT DECIDED SHE HATES THE NEW LITTER AND IS SHITTING ON THE CARPET IN THE LIVING ROOM NOW. WHICH SUCKS, FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, BUT ALSO BECAUSE IT'S THAT FLUSHABLE LITTER AND I FELL IN LOVE WITH HOW AWESOME IT IS TO JUST FLUSH THE LITTER AND NOW I HAVE TO GO BACK TO THAT HORRIBLE SMELLY MESSY CRAP. THANKS, CAT.

And I have to meet a new doctor today which is scary.

I'M NOT FAT AND LAZY, I HAVE HYPOTHYROIDISM! DO YOU KNOW HOW NICE IT IS TO GO TO A DOCTOR AND NOT BE TOLD ALL THIS CRAP IS IN YOUR HEAD?? IT WAS GLORIOUS! NOW I'M WAITING ON BLOODWORK TO CONFIRM BUT THE DOCTOR SAID ALL SIGNS POINT TO THAT. I THINK I'LL HAVE TO BE ON MEDS FOREVER THOUGH, THAT'S NOT SO GOOD. TODAY IS A RUNNING DAY AND IT'S SUNNY!! YAY!!!!

I HAVE A TUMMYACHE!

I WAS WONDERING ABOUT JROSSI YESTERDAY TOO. JROSSI, COME BACK TO US!!

ALSO, THE MISSING SPELLCHECK BUTTON IS FREAKING ME OUT, EVEN THOUGH I NEVER USED IT. IT'S LIKE THERE'S A HOLE IN MY MONITOR.

I JUST SENT IN A RESUME FOR A JOB THAT A) SOUNDS INTERESTING AND FUN, B) I'M QUALIFIED FOR, C) PAYS WELL, AND D) IS ABOUT A MILE FROM MY HOUSE! BUT THERE WERE TWO (MINOR) TYPOS IN MY COVER LETTER!! I HOPE THEY DON'T NOTICE! GAH!!
