Yeah. So.

There was supposed to be a post here on the 21st, since that was when my pharmacy technician classes started up. I was going to come home and chat it up here on whether I liked it or not, how difficult it was, and whether I was still nervous about proceeding.

Problem is, while I showed up an hour early to the class...

So.

Money's coming in, albeit slower than I'd have liked. My 1099's still MIA, though.

Unfortunately, the date's off - she was sick earlier in the month, and has to work those hours.

Ah, well. Maybe now's not the best time to get involved anyway, what with school starting up in a month and change.

So.

She called again (and before you people get indignant, I've talked to her more in the last 24 hours than I have in the last year, so we're still early on).

We talked about stuff. She's definitely making the gaming event. So am I. I jokingly told her that this was the time I was obligated to ask her out. She said I didn't...

So.

Went to a ScarredAngel's bday party. Hilarity and fun, even if I had to duck out about an hour early before I suffered more irreversible hearing damage. Something inherently cool about a C&W duo that can do covers of Michael Jackson and Bone Thugs, but no ZZ Top.

I will get them for the wedding. Of course, since I'm still minus one female for...

So...

So I've been playing text-message tag with this woman on the cell phone, as the result of an ebay sale I made to her last year. I'd procrastinated, and was late in the shipping, but we hit it off pretty well, chatting occasionally since. I kinda get excited whenever she txt messages me back and all, and we just did the "if you ever...

So today I find out that someone else in the company is leaving a position that's essentially identical to my own, but for a more prestigious line. Now, given the load of BS coming in from the bosses - to say nothing of how the company itself thinks of me - you'd think I'd stay away.

Nope. Sent them a letter begging for it.

Sigh....

Deep breaths.

The bosses, in their infinite wisdom, have cut my deadline in half.

Deep breaths.

They did not tell me this directly, but told one of the writers who work for me instead.

Deep breaths.

I'm going to have a nice, long chat with them when this is over, including terms like "irresponsible", "abusive", and "infuriating".

Deep breaths.

And then we'll see whether they're...

Yes, it's time once again to play everyone's favorite game, "Guess Who Hasn't Taken Their ADD Meds Yet Today?"

Not brought to you by CVS.

Am I the only person out there who was interested in seeing Brokeback Mountain until those commercials with that whiny "I wish I could quit you" line?

My bosses have given me a deadline without paying me for the last...

Only five and a half months of not remembering my own damn password. Yessir, I'm using my money to the fullest!

So. Other stuff... books are still not out, but last I heard would be on or around my birthday (hah). Similarly, the last job I did with these guys, I should've been paid months ago, and yet they're probably going to try to saddle...

Okay, it's been a while. I'dlike to say that I was really busy, but that was only part of it. Truth be told, it's always a little intimidating putting stuff up here, even if I know that not that many people read it.

Now, to bait and switch from my own insecurities, I'll talk about someone else's. Over this past weekend, an acquaintance complained about...

Okay, back from the con. Been back for a couple days, but alas, work decided that 24 hours was enough to fix a major plot hole that I've been trying to avoid.

Proving them wrong on this is, as always, a mixed blessing.

Anyway, nothing I wanted was out at Origins. This isn't a bad thing - too many people rush to get shit out,...

So much for math. I leave tomorrow, not Wednesday. Feets, don't fail me now!
