Well, I still have a job. I have mixed feelings about that. Relieved because I still need the money, but depressed that I still have to go to that filthy, dingy, mold-infested store every day. The art director at my new job commented on my hacking cough that I have (as a result of said filth and flour). The cough lessened after my vacation last year, so I'm hoping it'll totally go away after I quit.
My domain name is mine. Hallelujah! That's exciting. Now I just need to make the time to get the design business off the ground.
I went home from work at noon today. There wasn't any pressing jobs to do and while I could've worked on the company website in the afternoon, I was just too damned tired. That whole anger thing the other day really screwed up my sleep schedule. Shortly after checking email and blogs when I got home, I went to bed. I'd probably still be there had a huge storm not rolled in and a certain dog decided he needed to cry about it. Psycho pooch. Last Friday we had a bad storm as well and not only did it not bother him, he was outside strolling around in it. This time, because I'm trying to catch up on my rest, he's going to do the pacing and whining. *sigh*
I need a vacation. Bad. Marcus and Mike are heading to Tennessee on Saturday to visit Marcus' folks. They'll be gone about a week and are supposed to be bringing home a boat with them. We'll see. Nina and I will probably watch a movie and order in Chinese on Saturday.
I'm hoping I'll be able to take a vacation after the "busy" season ends at the screenprinter. That should be September/October. I'll either have my design business started by then or will be in the process of getting it going. I know I won't be working pizza anymore because I've given myself the deadline of my birthday (9/11) to be out of there (or ASAP). I'm thinking road trip to Las Vegas. When we went out for our friend's wedding in October 2003, I didn't have any fun at all. It's another incentive to get myself a newer vehicle. I'm going to try to get a Subaru Baja. Burt Subaru has a 2003 manual on their website with less than 40K on it. A Baja is cheaper than a comparable Outback or Legacy (the vehicle I now own). I've wanted a Baja since I saw the auto show concept car pamphlet at a mechanic's. It would be perfect because I can have passengers and a pickup bed.
I guess I'm going to be selling lots of stuff on eBay in the next week to get myself a down payment since my trade is worthless (I'm crossing 300,000 miles in the next week).
