Yesterday was interesting. I received a few e-mails I didn't think I'd ever receive.
First on the block, an e-mail from one of the users at my old message board. I spoke with him maybe two months ago for about two hours on evening on the phone. Before that, it'd been at least 2.5 years since we'd had any contact. He wrote me a "WHAAAAADDDDDDUP?!!" e-mail. Just thought that was pretty cool.
Also, had one from Mutatedleg who happens to be a local person whom I've found through the wonder that is Xanga. Hopefully we'll get to chat sometime.
Finally, I received an e-mail from the UMUBG. (Ultimate Manipulating User Bad Guy) whose name I won't publish. Suffice to say, of all the bad people I've known in my life, few come close to being as bad as this one. He tried to "rekindle" our friendship last year, and efforts to meet for coffee died out around January. He sends me this pretentious e-mail wondering where I've been and saying he's been looking for me. Like I need this right now.

Yesterday, at work, my boss and I had two identical projects for the same client. She tipped us $15. He slipped me a five dollar bill and pocketed the $10. Not only does he already make triple my salary, he knowingly cheats me out of tips? He's made it clear that I am "the bottom of the totem pole", but that was low. Even for him. He tries to buddy up with me, and sometimes we have a good laugh and even some private jokes just between us. . . But I'm seriously peaved about this one. He doesn't know I saw him pocket the $10. I guess it really doesn't matter. It was a tip, had he been in a worse mood he may have not even given me part of it. All I know is no matter what, I split tips with anyone who even remotely helps me with projects. He doesn't appreciate anyone. Commissioned based jobs can suck, and he isn't making it any easier to cope with.

I slept too much last night. So much that my back is hurting this morning. I didn't really get in bed that early, I think it was just the way I was laying that screwed me up.
Today I'm going to buy a trip-planning journal to organize my thoughts for this upcoming trip to Canada to visit my Shawn . . . Airfare is taken care of. Now I need to focus on saving for everything else. I *wish* BnL were going to be in Ottawa or the surrounding area when I visit. That'd be "hella tight".
I'm semi-obsessed with TGS right now. When people, especially those at work, as how I'm doing, I've been responding whiningly "My blood hurts!" or the ever classic "Ow, my stomach lining!"
At any rate. . . I thought I'd do a little blog and now I'm going to race and get ready for work. *twirls finger in air* whoopie!
