I don't like mondays... 2002

Not a good day so far.

My domain transfer away from those scumlords at Verisign has not gone through yet and I have to fax things.

Edmond's resupply package has not yet arrived in Idyllwild where he is due to arrive Wednesday. [update: he just called while I was writing this. He's in Idyllwild, now 3 days ahead of schedule, and the package isn't there, so he'll be doing a bit of shopping.]

My company has no work for me right now (unless I want to tranfer to the sales & marketing department, which I do not) and the other work I was hoping to line up (Rainbow Grocery & some office work for a lawyer who's previously employed a friend of mine) hasn't come through.

My Windows computer still won't start up except in safe mode and then won't recognize the mouse.

My Mac install of OS X didn't work.

I now have less than one month's rent in my savings account and the likelihood of being paid 20-25% of my full paycheck since I've been working part-time only.

And you know, I still stood there in the CompUSA with my monitor adapter in my hand staring at the new iMac thinking, hmm, well... Fortunately, I knew I was being a dork and walked away from it.

Time to update my resume.
Time to find a reliable job.

*sigh*
and after Edmond's call, time to proof the next package and get it in the mail early.

[Momentary panic: email which has arrived on my server since my PC problems was gone. Turns out I'd accidentally clicked "Check Other Mail" in my Yahoo Mail account and pulled it down there. I'm not sure why that worked given that they announced they had cancelled that POP mail service effective April 20th and it actually had stopped working April 1st. Maybe the nastygram I sent resulted in an unannounced free month? Weird. And prompting a panic, but quickly resolved and with a bonus of email from Edmond!]

Blog (noun) A weblog or similar brief journal usually containing links and commentary thereon. Term coined by Peter Merholz.
Visit Typepad or Blogger to start your own. (I began with hand coding, then switched to Blogger when it first became available, then to Movable Type when I wanted more control over my weblog and to have it hosted at a place of my choosing (Hurricane Electric). Now I use Typepad, built by the same folks who made Movable Type and I love it).
