Firefox 2.0

I went ahead and installed Firefox 2.0 today. I wasn't even aware that it was available yet. Marcus mentioned it last night, so I checked it out. I haven't noticed a problem so far. There is a build-in form spell checker that will hopefully help me catch some of the errors in typing that I've been having lately. There were only two extensions I have installed that weren't compatible and one of those is now a built-in feature. The other just allows you to manage stuff in the search bar, so hopefully it will get updated soon. If not, I don't use it much, so no real loss. The only thing I was really worried about was that Sage extension that I installed yesterday. I spent a lot of time putting links into that thing. Works great still!

I'm going to go lay down for a bit. I have a huge headache and horrible cramps.

I Wish I Could Move

How did it get to be Wednesday again already?

I really wished I had known last May how bad the employment environment around here was (especially for graphic designers) before I told the owner of the company I was working for that I wanted to find another job. Every time that loser from there calls, I keep hoping it's to get my old job back. I hated it, but at least it was in the field and I was making an income.

I really wish I could move somewhere else. Unfortunatley, we can't afford to move this stupid house again and besides, Marcus now has a decent paying job. Even if he wanted to leave (he doesn't), he can't. So I'm stuck. I'm either going to have to do some kind of retail or go back to pizza (if any of those places will even hire me). Of course, I couldn't be a driver because my plates are expired and my brakes are shot. I'm not looking for advice or job leads, I just need to vent about how my self-esteem is in the toilet, how my levels of motivations are sinking and it sucks that Christmas is coming and not only do I not have a job or any prospects for a job, I have no money, either. I can't even sell anything because I don't own anything. I've already gotten rid of everything that I personally own of any value. Even my computers I use aren't really mine.

The tears are flowing too hard to continue this. I'm going to go take a hot shower and get back to sending out fruitless resumes.
