tuesday blues

monday was a hell day. then, when i got home, i felt horrible, with my stomach in knots like I ate something bad. i pitched everything I had eaten that afternoon, just to be sure... and 4 hours later I finally felt ok. another wasted evening.

parents emailed asking for boxes. good thing i've been stockpiling in my office at work. need to finish archiving battlestar galactica season 2 for them. they'll be here next Friday, the 14th. i think it's my last chance to see them before they head south.

on a different note, I had my meeting with the bosses yesterday regarding raises. it (again) was piss poor (I work for the state), but offset by a "bonus" that was a "one time deal" for my "work on special projects throughout the year". it's also offset by the fact we're getting real training for the first time in 5 years.

ok. i'm off to a 2 hour meeting up the hill, with some contractors who are raping our sister department, moneywise. this project started in summer, and it's still not done, and it cost at least $15k. for basically 2 weeks of work. it is, as they say, quite insane. having been in the contractor's seat, i know both sides of this project well, but it still irks me.
