It's amazing how having cool bosses makes working so much easier. My new workplace is really neat. Today we had a staff BBQ. I guess they provide Friday lunch on quite a regular basis. The owner actually comes around personally to deliver paychecks on Fridays and thanks you for your hard work for the week. He also brought beer up to the art department to kick off the weekend with the art director and myself.

The only problem I'm having is trying to be too perfect. I need to learn how to let some minor details go. It will come in time, though. At least this work produces something tangible--not like food that will be digested and then gone.

Got the test results back from the clinic—negative. So, still no idea what's wrong. Maybe I'm just doomed to feel shitty. I've thrown over $300 at this problem. I think I'm getting better on my own, but I can't really tell as Aunt Flo came to visit today. We'll see what's going on in 5 days or so.

OK, I'm really pooped. I'm going to bed.

Went to another clinic today, missed two hours of work, dropped $140 I can't afford to spend and still don't have a solution. The doctor took a couple of cultures and a urine sample and I have to wait 48 hours to see if anything grows. Cross your fingers that something does so I can get some answers. I'm really sick of feeling like crap.

On a different note, they picked a new pope today. A talk show host said the event had significant impact on Catholics and non-Catholics alike. No, it doesn't. I'm not religious and I don't give a rat's ass who their pope is. It's just some man who heads (in my extremely cynical opinion) a corrupt organization. Even if there is a god, I doubt very much that just because a bunch of guys claiming to be men of god pick one guy over the rest makes that single guy God's representative on earth. It's all a crock. I don't see how any particular person being a pope has squat to do with my life except that it took over my Starting Over episode today. </rant>

Sorry, just feeling totally bitchy today. I'm PMSing really bad, I haven't gotten enough sleep with the schedule change and that neighbor fiasco this last weekend, my dumb boss showed up an hour and a half earlier than he was scheduled so I had to see him this morning, creditors have been calling my cell mercilessly today and I have no money to pay them, I was late to work because traffic totally sucked, I felt useless there today because I don't know enough to be totally useful and there weren't any projects I could work on by myself, then I had to leave work early and for what? My car was acting up really bad today, I feel like shit, no television to watch because yesterday's Medium was a repeat and the pope pre-empted SO and Gilmore Girls tonght sucked. All my eBay auctions ended today and nobody bought anything. Oh, and we're out of food. Grrrrr.

I know this will all get better eventually (like in a week after my period is over and I get used to the new routine). I'm just frustrated in the meantime.

Also, I miss my afternoon nap.

Yay, first day in the books—all went well. Going to watch CSI:Miami and head to bed.

In a little over an hour and a half, I'll be starting my new job. I'm sure I can handle it, but I've still got the first day jitters and am feel totally sick to my stomach. Of course, I also did not sleep well last night due to said jitters. *sigh* Wish me luck.

I just read that Adobe (Photoshop, Acrobat, Illustrator, etc.) purchased Macromedia (Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, etc.) for $3.4 Billion.

By combining our development, authoring and collaboration software - along with the complementary functionality of Adobe PDF documents and Macromedia Flash - Adobe has the opportunity to bring this vision to life with an industry-defining technology platform.

Wow.
