(no subject)
Kelvin is graduated! Woo! As a gift to him, I got to drink a concoction with craploads of garlic, "house sause," chili oil, crab juice, jello, champagne, and Sweet & Low. Don't ask. My friends are awesome.
So a wrench has been thrown into baby plans. Although Christina can use sick leave for when Mira is born, I can only use annual leave (ie vacation time) since I'm not sick or taking care of a sick child or "spouse." All of a sudden, I have 2 months worth of sick leave that is useless. My annual leave was originally going to be donated to Christina because she has crappy amount of leave left (I cannot donate sick time because the government is comprised of assholes. And because I can only use annual leave, my time with Mira is cut in half because I have way less annual leave than I do sick. In a nutshell, I can't use 2 months of saved up sick time, which means I can't donate a month's worth of leave to Christina, which means we're basically out $3000 AND I lose a month off with Mira. Fuck.
I have a $300 speeding ticket to pay to Truckee. And a $65 administrative fee to pay to be eligible for $9.95 traffic school. Fuck.
I applied to be an "Executive Assistant" (read "Chief Office Bitch for our head person") the other day. It's a solid $4500 raise. We'll see how it goes. I absolutely suck at interviews though.
