Work made me grumpy yesterday for some strange reason; it might have something to do with the fact that I was stuck at the desk all day and just couldn't get away to shelve books or anything. The horror! Add to that the severe pain of not being able to find and fruit and creme Starburst ("They make you walk like this!") and yesterday was just one of those...grrr days.
I managed to do my amended tax return for 2002. I get a return of $12.00. Joy! With that 10% interest, I should be rolling in the money in no time. I have to wait for Hell to send me the W2s for 2001 before I can file that return, but I trust the result might be a little bigger. I'm very surprised I made as much as I did in 2002; while not mad cash, it's above the poverty line. Go me!
Tried to pick up a cell phone yesterday, which turned out to be very frustrating. I couldn't manage a ride out to one of the places, so I tried scoring one on-line. The whole procedure left a bad taste in my mouth and I backed out at the last moment, so I'll probably end up going to an actual store as soon as I can. At this point, I'm pretty sure Verizon Wireless will hit me with a big deposit, so I should just go to Cricket. I'll try Verizon anyway. Never underestimate the power in my hope that corporations will be reasonable sometimes.
I'm far more lazy than I should be, and I should really work on changing that. I want to send a few people paper letters (nothing like getting a letter out of the blue in the mail to make my heart all a-flutter) and work on "Salvation" again. I'm also trying to start up yet another tabletop Changeling game, and I want to make sure the world's well-explored before starting it up. I will have a long-running, decent campaign before I leave, damnit! There's an on-line Changeling game I'm running, and I need to do a bit more writing for that to bring both of my players out of the 'rut' they're currently in. And there's Boomer Express, Gray Warming Over, and all kinds of other, 'secret' projects I want to get around to...blah, I feel bad for not writing 24/7. :) If only I could get a bit of motivation.
It never ceases to amaze me how little I actually know. I mean, I'm not stupid exactly, but I'm reminded fairly often that some of my opinions and ideas are founded on sketchy or even non-existent foundations. I've come to enjoy the deconstruction of my opinions and being able to confidently say, "I don't know." It breaks me out of judgemental thinking I often find sneaking up on me without even realizing it.
I'm really going to try to get some writing in before work today.
