Things are looking up, a bit. The post office has offered me a part time, but ongoing job sorting mail in a different area. I will start in January and it could last as long as a year maybe more. This is a huge surprise, as everyone I talked to there said they didn't extend work for casuals anymore. I'll be making the same as I am now, working from ( Read more... )

I forgot how nice it is to pour pages in a nice simple monograph. Text books tend to be full of problems and special cases and issues. But monographs are just nice a clean design, a few images, maybe a table if we are getting crazy. I really haven't had to do any of that here, not since Apex. I'm helping with someone else's project today and ( Read more... )

Last night was kinda random. After my haircut and color, and picking up Paul (who ended up being like an hour late due to work issues) we went to the Tornado Room for dinner with Mitch. The steak was awesome ( Read more... )

Oh well, so much for the gym tonight. Have a rush Apex project instead. After I make all this money I'll just get liposuction or something. *g* (kidding)

New art over at pollyjuiceboy

Probably a late night since I'm registering people at the Shamrock. Hopefully I won't get plastered and can chat with Rob some more.

Once again, my good intentions were derailed last night. Now this week if I don't get the gym any more, I can't complain about it. Cause I could have said no. But after I got home from the stint at Apex, Sam called me and asked to sub on his bowling team. The lanes really do make a difference, Dave wasn't lying. I bowled really well, and got my ( Read more... )

I'm very blah today. Randomly worried about house/financial stuff again. I'm not sure what sparks that fretting. Usually it's bills time, but this was just random. Buying the paint was a bit more expensive than I expected, maybe that was it ( Read more... )

Last night was OK. Got roped into more Apex work, and I was pissy enough that I kinda snapped at Em over email. She doesn't deserve that. It's not her fault I hate that place so much. I have decided that if they don't let her go on the trip to Jamaica I will never work for them again. Got Laura's wedding invitations done though, and some BSG. I ( Read more... )

Honestly, what idiot thinks that morning rush hour when the roads are covered in snow is a good time for trains to go though a city as large as Madison? And did that one car really have to be moved right that second? They moved one frelling car from one side of the busiest road on the east side to the other at 7:50. I wish someone would just stop ( Read more... )

Had to cancel In Nomine today due to AFB work. But today was the only day I had time. Bugger. Also, damn cold, didn't really want to drive that far ( Read more... )

I had the most bubbly tax agent at H&R Block last night. Very excited woman. But as she said, if someone has to pull a 14 hour shift doing taxes, they have to make taxes fun. I basically sat there and was amused. She did, however, almost double my deductions, so I should be getting a nice refund check. I have to go back in and give her my closeing ( Read more... )
