Today is SO my day! :D

The taxes worked out better than hoped, and we got an awesome return which deposited today! I took some of it to reinvest in the business, so I just did a little retail electronics therapy. I now have a new small point-and-shoot HD video camera to practice with, just in time for the cruise. :D And, I also now have an additional external firewire harddrive for my laptop, so I can edit on the go too. :D

And then on the way home, I decided to stop for lunch at Panda Express and ended up with a free meal! They were doing a taste test for a new product, and I just had to provide my phone number so they can call me in the next day and ask what I thought. And, it's goooooooooood too. They're trying out a "To Go" item that is a thin wrap stuffed with fried rice, veggies, and orange chicken. It's actually quite yummy.

So, yeah. New camera and free lunch! Go me!!! :D

(This greatly helps, seeing as I've been in a grief depression all week after spending nearly 10 nights sleeping in a room with my mother's cremains.)

I am about to make a very very rare comment.

GO SJ SHARKS. Beat Dallas.

Then get knocked out next round.

Thank you.

Beware of the quoting capabilities :evil:

I'm hungry. I could seriously go for a good burger right now. Preferably one from a no-name greasy spoon joint that's char-grilled to perfection.

Ya, I know. I figured someone would be a mean ol jerk and quote that seriously out of context.

I got new glasses, I got new glasses!

I am home. 11 interviews in a day-and-a-half. There appears to be some interest and I have an offer, but I plan to turn it down. Long story, but the offer is the bare minimum commitment on their end and maximum risk on my end, which isn't a match in my book. Plus, other agencies expressed some significant interest and were offering a hell of a lot more.

Quick! How many fingers can you see?

Ummm - two???
