there are many things i need to do

instead, i spent the night trying to take a decent picture of myself so i can use something for facebook other than that one from sarah's 23rd birthday party.

the work story that was "long" is way too difficult to try to explain, but i will say this. i had to bring an issue to the attention of my group leader patrick regarding some stuff i was working on that had become difficult to deal with, and he had to get 3 higher up people involved, just because this one guy called peter is an idiot and doesn't want to admit he's wrong. we caught him in a bold-faced lie today. everyone was pissed at him.

the problem is that we have this hierarchical system that people have to go through to get stuff done. sometimes the people who are in marketing try to sidestep the system by directly sending stuff to me or dan or whoever. at times we just do it, but this guy peter sent me a shiteload of crap and i couldn't do it.

anyway.....we have a new guy starting on monday called lance. i cannot help but think of the medieval weapon when i hear that name. thanks, medieval studies certificate. i saw him when he was interviewing. he's like 35 or so. i swear to god they will never hire anyone my age.

also, i "get" to go back to working 9-5. i'm not sure i'm that happy about it, but at least i'll get to watch stargate, and actually get stuff done at night.
