Oh, this Supernatural show is going to be freaky. Good thing Marcus will be home in 45 minutes. I'm getting the heebie jeebies.

Ugh, I was wishing I didn't have to go to work yesterday because I'm starting to dread going there and *abracadabra* I'm sick as a dog.

I wasn't feeling particularly well when I left work after the half hour I spent there trying to get the company's mail back up. Mail was down as a direct result of the somebody I'm annoyed with not notifying me of the emails coming in about renewing the web hosting and the company's credit card on file being declined and the subsequent suspension of our hosting. I found the relevent files and changed the MX record, told the owner what I had done, left a note for the art director and went home. About a half hour after getting home I started getting feverish and decided to take a hot shower, I puked on my feet in the shower and then I crawled into bed for a few hours. Once I got up, the other owner (who could've fixed this on Friday if he wasn't off attending Buff Club lunches) had totally ignored what I had done to rectify the mail situation, had totally changed our name servers and our website was still not up. *sigh* I couldn't eat anything all day. I tried some mac and cheese and it ended up coming back up. I was running a huge fever and I contemplated calling in sick to pizza last night, but the fever broke at 2 am and I felt pretty good when I got up at 4. I didn't feel terribly bad when I got to the 2nd job, but after a half hour of sitting in the air conditioning (I keep turning temp up, art director turns it back down), I was freezing and feeling like crap. The fever crept back big time. I made it until 2:30 and I couldn't take it anymore and went home. I ate some chicken noodle soup when I got home and now my stomach is feeling unsettled again. Yay.

Oh, and speaking of crappy work stuff...the losers screwed my pay last week yet again. Labor Day was to be my first paid holiday and when I got my check I was missing those 8 hours. We only have like 13 empoyees left. How freaking hard can it be to get payroll right? Geez. They also missed my birthday. That hurt. For everybody's birthday they get a card and a cake and they totally skipped me over. If there was ever an omen that I don't belong there, that was it.

At least I'm getting to finally watch The Gilmore Girls season premiere. This season looks more promising that last year's. Now I'm going to check out this Supernatural show and try to get warm and not lose my soup. The guy who played Dean on Gilmore Girls, Jared Padalecki, is in this Supernatural show. His character's brother's name is Dean. I bet that's weird for the guy.

So, I was doing some web surfing trying to find the season premiere date for Gilmore Girls (as I'm going through some serious withdrawl) when I find that Joan of Arcadia had been cancelled. I. Am. So. Pissed. That was an awesome show. It's one of the main reasons I hate it when networks leave a season finale with a cliffhanger. I wonder if it's going to hang forever or if it will be picked up somewhere else or have a final movie to wrap things up. It's bad enough that there is no Star Trek whatsoever for the first time that I can remember, now this.

I just signed an online petition to let other networks know that we want Joan back on the air. I also just sent an email (that will probably fall on deaf ears) to CBS.

In a bad freakin' mood today. Between the heat and stupid people, I'm at the end of my rope.

First, I've been bored as hell at work for over two weeks. The art director is going a vacation on Thursday and suddenly we're swamped with work. It's all last minute, I need it yesterday type of stuff. Grrrrr. Hey, if you didn't have the foresight to get this to a printer a couple of weeks before you needed them...tough. I'll get done when I get done. Calling every half hour is only going to delay you getting your stupid proof. Morons. Also, it's hard as hell to print photoshop effects on a t-shirt. Don't use them unless you know how to separate them yourself or expect to get charged art time up the ass. These kind of headaches are not worth what I'm getting paid. I took a low wage for the experience. I've had enough of that experience. I'll take a little bit of absue if it is my own personal client, y'know? I'm also tired of trying to figure out what these people want second or third hand. Trying to pry information out of the sales people is like pulling your own teeth. Let me talk to somebody face-to-face about what they want.

Oh, and it got up over 100°F today. People get stupid when it gets hot. Plus they drive even more crazy. I made the mistake of trying to see where the shop of one of our clients was and it ended up being smack in downtown. Have you ever driven in downtown Dever at 4:30 in the afternoon when the temps are over 100? Not one of my smartest moves. See, the heat got to me, too.

When I was going to get lunch I heard on the radio that three major credit card companies are doubling their minimum monthly payments. Great. The brilliant idea behind this is some government regulation that wants to decrease the amount of time people pay back their debts and how much they spend on interest or some other such crap. I hate to tell these losers in the government, but it's not like people charge once and then pay it off. It's a constant thing. Some people like me will probably always be in debt (although I'm more determined than ever to get rid of the credit card balances). They pull this shit just as the bankruptcy laws are tightening, too. Some people are majorly screwed. You think this could've been phased in gradually until they were up to the magic "4%". Anyway, between that, my newly acquired car payment and my impending student loan payments, I definitely need more cash coming in.

Then I get a phone call about a half hour ago from the pizza place. The message says that she "thinks" there will be oven cleaning people there at 4 in the morning. At least I was warned this time, but I can't make any dough when they're not sure when they'll be there. I can't make dough at all when they're there. They totally disasseble the oven and have stuff spread out all over the whole store. Nice, huh? Not like this stuff can't get planned ahead of time so that I have advance warning. Maybe schedule it on a day when I'm not usually there (like Monday) when I can get two days' done on the previous Sunday. Morons. Oh, well. Since I seriously doubt anybody else will make any, I guess dough doesn't get done tomorrow.

I guess I'll make Marcus a nice dinner since I can sleep in. I'll have to go to the store, though, as I have absolutely NO FOOD WHATSOEVER here. I hate going grocery shopping with a passion. *sigh*

Warning: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Spoilers ahead!

I'm so stupid. The email I posted from Amazon the other day actually says it will probably come U.S. Mail. I vaguely remember reading that, but since I had a UPS tracking number, that is what made me think it was coming UPS. Oh, well. I got it. I read it. I cried. I can't wait for the last one.
