| On my end, not much of anything. It's been a little busier at work now that we've gotten rid of the slacker, so that has kept me somewhat occupied. The users are starting to realize that if they want to keep me around, they need to go through the proper steps for help requests. And that's a good thing as it provides the boss with the necessary metrics for keeping me around, along with the other co-worker. I've also had money issues, thanks to the credit card companies going ahead and applying their rate changes in response to their upcoming changes as mandated by the government. Where I had a lower minimum payment on the cards, those got jacked up and are now at least double what I'd been paying, putting me in a tight spot where I'm doing what I can to pay them down and just barely having enough to get by for food and gas for the pay period. Unfortunately, it's been a bit of creative accounting, but I should be back to normal in a month or two. As for everything else not work or money related, it's been confusing to say the least, and it's a source of continual disarray and what not. Which means I've been down and not my normal wacky self without it being a chore, and there's been temptation to go ahead and do the temporary cheer-up of purchasing something like a game or a couple of DVDs which would be temporary distractions until I realized that it affected the money situation which would make me feel worse... Causing a downward spiral of needless purchases that only worked to frustrate me even further and cause more harm than good. To sum it up, work is busy, money is tight, and I'm mostly miserable while maintaining the facade. How in the heck are you? |
