fortunately, one of my oldest and dearest friends is coming to town from san francisco this weekend. to say i'm excited would be a significant understatement. except for my quick weekend hop to san francisco in march, we haven't seen each other in over a year. spending an entire weekend with someone who knew me "when things were normal" happens to be EXACTLY what i need right now. funny how life works out sometimes. oh yeah, and he's here for my birthday. that's right, this big bad leo's got an "anniversaire" coming up next wednesday. certainly looking forward to putting this stinker of a whirl around the sun behind me.

oh, and by the way, quitting my job was as satisfying as i imagined, though, i refrained from a "take this job and shove it" approach. bad juju and who needs more of that? besides, as my resolve strengthened to bid adieu, my anger and frustration subsided into pity. this pathetic job is all this woman has. so, if she needs to bully someone about to prove how big her balls are, well, why the hell not? that someone just doesn't need to be me though. i don't mind BEING a wage slave, but i do mind being TREATED like a wage slave. ok, hello?
