Why don't I have any money? I really want to go to the Mac Design Conference in Chicago in June. It would be such an awesome educational opportunity. *sigh*

Marcus embarrasses way too easily (and he wasn't even there). I drank all his Pepsis, so I promised him I'd get him some more. Since Pepsi and Apple are doing this iTunes giveaway, I figure I might as well replace them with ones that will get us some free tunes. Thanks to a tip from Mike, it turns out Pepsi goofed and you can see whether the bottles are winners or not just by looking. So I refuse to buy a Pepsi that doesn't have a winning cap. When I presented Marcus with his Pepsi last night, he got all flustered because I told him that I was standing in the store tilting the bottles to look for winners. It's not like that's a crime. Oh, well, he'll get over it when he's redeeming those caps!

Current mood: bored
Well, it turns out there are only two people in my web design class. I'm going to be a little bored for a short while. Today we went over the mechanics of the Internet and some basic html code. Since I do most of my web programming from scratch and I have A+ certification, there was nothing new to learn today. That's OK. I'll have much to learn when we learn about optimizing code and graphics. That gives me time to work on the old portfolio. I'm working on the case right now. I finally dug out the scroll saw Marcus got me for Christmas in 1995 (I think) that I have never used because I never had a place to use it. I said, "Screw it" and set it up in the craft room. Yes, the sawdust is making a huge mess, but it did a wonderful job cutting the side boards. I think it is going to be really cool when I'm done. It'll definitely be an original. I need to get a menu cover, too. I'm having a hard time finding any sites that sell them singley. Even eBay has them in lots, not just one. I'll try calling some local restaurant supply places to see if they have any.

Current mood: frustrated
I'm trying to print some stuff out on my HP printer for my portfolio. Everything that is supposed to print purple is coming out blue. The only reference to such a thing on the HP forums has to do with CorelDraw and I can't find similar setting in Quark or Acrobat. I hate it when I know that something is not right and I don't have the resources or knowledge to fix it.

Driving last night really sucked. It was rainy/snowy. The whole night was behind because the manager let the assistant (that he has the crush on) try to run things. She let both of the day drivers go an hour early (around 4) and pizzas were over half an hour out the door before the 5 o'clock drivers even got there. The manager decided to take over when it was out of control. I absolutely hate delivering pizzas that were over 90 minutes old. I should've made alot more money than I did for the amount of runs I took. Oh, well.

Well, I had better get back to finding a solution for this printing.

Current mood: sore
After getting a major paper cut on one finger and stabbing one of my thumbs with an extremely sharp X-acto knife, I need to take a break from working on my portfolio. OW!!! The last thing I need is blood all over it.

After the big push I had trying to finish the damned portfolio on time and not making it, the last couple of days have been a big let down. Part of the problem is not having the money I need to buy stuff for this thing. I need to get this done ASAP so that I don't put it off until the weekend before I'm due to present again. I also am having trouble getting my printer to print purple. It's weird. I'll have to run up to school tomorrow and see if any of my teachers know what's going on.

It was a beautiful day today. It was in the 60s. Too bad it is supposed to snow again tomorrow. Booooooo!

I hope they catch the fucker that has been burning dogs on the West side of town. They should duct tape his legs together and set him on fire.

I can hardly wait until next week. I'm finally getting to take my web classes. WhooHoo!!!!

Well, since I can't type worth crap with band-aids on my fingers, I'm going to bed.
