TITTWIS 41: In grind mode, tryin' to get that bank

Ha! I don't even drink coffee, only double espressos. Still no hair on my chest, though.

In fact the only reason I got out of bed and showered just now is cause a friend called and wanted to go out and get lunch with me, but once I get back home after lunch I'm breaking out another pair of pajamas* and going back to work.

* Yes, since I work from home I do have a set of pajamas for every day of the week.

Although I promise this morning when I said Luna called me by accident, I really meant "call" as in on the "phone." "Honest."

The rest of the day was a mixed bag. The low points are thoroughly confusing, but the high point was intoxicatingly rich.

I'm still going to have to give it a 9.5.

I'm going to go make my emergency office girl coffee so I can open my eyes.

Today's the first day of my new job and I got up way too early. hurrah!

Otherwise, well, it was an interesting weekend, but not what I'd call good outright.

Good luck on your first day, Sam!

I was supposed to do work over the weekend, but I put it off until Sunday night and then I felt kinda pukey after I had dinner so I just went to bed. I feel better this morning, but now I have even more work to do today than I'd planned.

I really need to stop telling work that I can get stuff done over the weekend. It always seems like it won't be tough to put in a couple hours Sunday, and then I never want to.

new job so far great. I have three screens on my desk and every flavor of creative software imaginable. woo-hoo!

Huk, did you have your root canal yet?

I'm in a such a good mood it's ridiculous. I always fear something coming along to wreck good moods.

tell me about your spring weather so I can be jealous.

It's supposed to be 80 here today - the sky is relatively clear, but you can see a layer of haze over the hills. It seems a shame to waste it by being in the office all day.

!!!!????

michael that sounds lovely.

we're having a heat wave here and it's miserable. also the mosquitoes are out of control.

my eys hurt from staring at these screens.

Have been out of town for the past couple of days as my mother's in the ICU. so sick of sickness in my family. her health has done nothing but go downhill steadily for the past few years. Now I'm feeling slightly guilty like I should've stayed longer although there wasn't much for me to do.

also this visit and this scare just made all the more obvious the many issues my mom and I have. Now I can't stop thinking about the problems and how I'm going to fix them. B/c this week I truly thought my time to fix them had passed and I would have to live with the unresolved-ness for the rest of my life. I've been given a reprieve and must do something now. ugh.

and I come back to work to find some annoying (older) women in desktop support are sending me mockups of how they think I should change our dept.'s homepage layout. excuse me? I'm the web designer, not you. keep your word doc. designs to yourself. ergh.

now I've got to go build some interactive pages, plug them into a sql db I have to build, test them, and oh yeah, do the graphics. all by the end of the day.

I just want to crawl into a hole. or at least back into bed.
