Somebody Pinch Me

<sarcasm>I'm having so much fun, I must be dreaming. Somebody pinch me.</sarcasm>

I am so freakin' BORED today...and tired. I need a nap really bad. I usually catch up on sleep over the weekend. Didn't happen this week. Sitting cooped up in this dreary little office is the last thing I want to be doing today. *sigh* At least the owner took the art director out to lunch and I can make the post that I didn't get to yesterday.

Thanks to everybody who commented and emailed me advice yesterday about starting small businesses and grants. This is something I really, really want to do. I am so tired of the amount of my income being controlled by morons. I also hate not being able to control my work environment. I'm tired of being around filth and things that are broken. I've been working 60-70 hours per week for the last 9 1/2 weeks (wasn't that a movie?) and I feel I should have more to show for how hard I've been working. I'm really frustrated. I'm also not dillusional about how tough it's going to be to start a business. That's why I haven't quit my jobs and jumped in with both feet. I'm researching stuff and planning and all that mature stuff you're supposed to do as an adult.

Has anyone reading this ever bought a shirt (or any other merchandise) from Cafe Press? I was thinking of designing some stuff to try and sell there and then if anything takes off, have a large run of them done. If the quality of the products totally bite, though, I don't want to bother. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I'm totally diggin' driving the new car. The best part--I'm only halfway through the tank that the dealer put in it on Friday. I've driven alot, too. I would've gone through two tanks in the old car. The sad thing is that nobody wants the poor little guy. I don't know what I'm going to do with him. I've got to get rid of it before the park owner starts complaining.

I am so bummed out about not having a garden. I broke down and bought a couple of tomato plants and a couple of other things that for the life of me I can't remember what they are (told you I need a nap) and I'm going to plant them in pots. Screw the park owners. If you keep raising my lot rent and everybody else around here can do whatever they darend well please, then so am I.

OK, I better get back to work.
