Quick update before sleeping
Things are o.k.
I've been working on a couple of papers and I'm starting to feel the stress of my comparative paper, even though it isn't due for another oh, 17 days. It's supposed to be 15-20 pages long, so if I buckled down and started writing it, I'd only have to write one or two pages a day to get there. I should just do it and be done with it. I mean, it's the only outstanding requirement for the class. So if I wrote it, I'd be done. And I wouldn't be stressed about it anymore. Good luck with that.
**redacted a long section about my new boss**
We got our summer tax bill and it sucks. I'm torn: I know that everywhere is experiencing hard times, and we currently have the means to pay the tax bill without too much grumbliness (we don't have the taxes in escrow, so we get the lump sum bill in the summer and a smaller one in the winter). But I also know that our house is not worth as much as they've assessed it, because we recently had the bank appraise it when we were thinking about converting the attic into living space. So I'm tempted to challenge the bill, but I don't know that the outcome would be that much of a reduction, and I don't really want to spend any time going through that. I'm already busy enough! So, we'll probably pay the tax bill as they mailed it to us.
I think my nose got sunburned again. I really like the Spartan visor that I bought, but it isn't nearly long enough to provide ample coverage to my gigantic nose, apparently. And that's disappointing for so many reasons.
Tomorrow is 07/08/2009, otherwise known as SEVEN ATE NINE. Why Seven ate Nine, nobody knows! But I do know that I will be knocking off work early and heading over to a patio to sip on some tasty beverages while fretting that I only have 16 more days to write my 20 page paper. w00t!
ALSO!!! BREAKING NEWS!!! OMG!!! Did anyone else hear that Michael Jackson died?
