Sarah, I think yr right and this is probably your mom's way of dealing with your grandmother's death. I forgot about the yardstick until I was cleaning out my car yesterday. :) Maybe yr grandmother will visit me in Oak Cliff.
*sigh* Since I got out of the hospital I've been feeling pretty good. No cloud of gloom over my head. Every day I've gotten up excited about whatever's going to happen. Gone about a day's tasks with a smile on my face. But now. . .
I said I was going back to school tomorrow and now I'm filled with dread. I've been anxious and nervous all day. This sucks! I'm really starting to think I need to look for another job. But the market is soo bad now. And for once in a long time, with the help of the 2nd job at the bar, I'm able to pay my bills on time and start thinking of saving up for a new car. If I got a different job it would definitely be a lowering of my standard of living.
The school called a bit ago but I was too scared to answer. They wanted to know whether or not I was returning tomorrow. My pysch gave me a letter releasing me to return on Wed., but I feel I should just get it over with. I've been gone for two weeks now and have no more sick days. Each day away is costing me money. :(

Sam, it'll be okay. Take it from me, stewing about it will just make it worse. Call them and get that load of your back.

It's really too bad his mum couldn't make it, that would have been fun.

I am stuffing myself with biscuits and having mixed feelings about a Christmas bonus I just got. Mixed because, while it's great to get a bonus and I never have had one before, they are STILL fucking about with my new contract (should have been done in AUGUST) so I don't get the full amount but some pro rata fraction because officially I still work PT.
Now I'm going to the cashpoint and then getting a bagel and sitting in the sun reading my Robert B Parker for an hour.

I did absolutely nothing last night. Ok, I wrote ONE Christmas card, but that's about it.
I need my coffee.

I once worked on a film called "Welcome to Woop Woop", for what it's worth.

I just finally got a hotmail account again for pseudonym stuff, and then remembered one of the reasons my old account got cancelled for lack of reading was that Eudora isn't hotmail-friendly. Ah well.
And yeah, Nicole, woop woops aside (I just like typing "woop woop"), I know pretty much how you feel, and I generally am one of the Positive People.

(I don't think the film was any good. I just did a bit of research for Stefan Elliot, the director. It wasn't very exciting, but I was able to do a flawless camp Australian accent by the end)

I'm not gonna pay just for this email account, it's purely a reader-mail thing, so I figure I'll just check hotmail from time to time.

What's the meeting about? Are you likely to be judged in some way? Will action (positive or negative) be the outcome? Tell all - I'm sure we can all empathise.
