Now I hope I like the job and that I can play this into something long-term and better.

Listening to the Police in DTS in the living room. Totally freakin' awesome sounding.

I win I win I win I win I win I win I win!

So I'm a giant geek and subscribe to Nikoli.com, a site with daily logic puzzles.

On top of the usual logic puzzles they run a couple interesting side contests, one of them they call the Nikoli Derby. They dress it up as a a virtual horse race, but the rules are very simple. Everyone who enters chooses a number. Any number they want. Whomever chooses the lowest number that nobody else has chosen wins. So if 2 or more people choose "1", they lose, then if 2 people chose "2", they lose, and you keep going until you reach the first number that only 1 person chose.

This time, that number was "2", and the person was me! I win a t-shirt! Squee, free t-shirt!!

It's always fun to win something, isn't it! I bet it will be an interesting shirt too!

I bitched about how it was handled elsewhere, but, so as not to seem like an ingrate...I got a big ol' bonus today! w00t. I worked my ass off last year on a project, and management finally made it worth our while (in their own fvcked up, tone deaf, utterly out of touch with reality way). And timing couldn't be better as we are trying to figure out how to budget on 1/3 the income.

Plus, I learned that they're building a Sonic burger around the 'sdaods* corner from work. Good day. Excellent day.

* I left that in. I sneezed with my fingers on the keyboard, that was the result. It amused me.

I am so happy to be back at my old job. That is I will be until Summer or the next Holiday hits and I'm working my ass off.

I helped a graphics-challenged classmate on a project today, and it turns out that he runs his own business and has clients with graphics needs all the time, so he's going to refer them to me.

Win-win!

Sweet, DP!

I'm happy today because "Hair" extended again! Second extension. Woo hoo! Let's hear it for "Hair" extensions!
