    No Con Tonight
    No Con for me tonight. I didn't get out of work until after 6 and am just brain dead.

    I haven't even looked at programming (other than Harmonic CONvergence), so we shall see how tomorrow goes.

    LONG day
    Long day at work today. Booked in meetings all day, including giving a pitch to my 1-over-1 (that's boss' boss). That went well, and she gave me an aside compliment (I was suggesting that we could do things the crappy buy easy way, a medium road, or the more difficult but correct way and she said that she didn't think I would be able to do it the crappy but easy way because of my character). I ended up being at work until almost 8:00 though.

    I am unsure about Con tomorrow. I would like to make it to opening ceremonies, but if tomorrow is anything like today, I may just head home after work (which would be after opening ceremonies is over anyway). We'll see how it goes.

    Yaa Library
    I finally went and got a Hennepin County library card (I requested one online, but never made it to a branch to get the actual card).

    I picked up some financial books and some job search books (if anyone has specific ones that helped them, let me know!).

    Busy day at work tomorrow, then people in the house later at night. Work Thursday, then CON.

    Thank you all for your kind words so far...3am is when my filter shuts off and I let what I actually am thinking about spill out.

    Tired
    Feeling better now that I got some sleep, but still tired. See, I knew I needed sleep.

    I need a sleepy icon.

    So why don't you do it?
    Would I feel better if I was out of debt? Yes.
    Would I feel better if I was healthier? Yes.
    Would I feel better if I weighed less? Yes.
    Would I feel better if I ate better food? Yes.
    Would I feel better if I exercised? Yes.
    Would I feel better if I went out and socialized more often? Yes.
    Would I feel better if I did something different/better for work? Probably.

    So why not JUST DO IT?

    I don't think I am heading back into depression per se, but I know there is something wonky in my head. My life isn't AWFUL, some parts are even going pretty well. I just can't seem to get over the hump and get started on some of the above things. I am aware enough that things won't be "fixed" if I just start working towards fixing them. I am just finding too many things pressing on me and they are interrelated (stress leads to food which leads to weight which leads to lack of exercise which leads to not being able to work more which leads to money issues which leads to stress, etc. etc. etc.).

    I know I am near the top of the hump on a couple of these issues, and hopefully tackling one will help with the rest.

    See...I said I should have gone to sleep...

    Con Approacheth
    I intend to be at CONvergence for some time this year. I have a room that I am sharing with a number of people, but it is across the street.

    I am unsure as to how all this will work. I have had quite varied CON experiences since I started going. I wouldn't say that any of them have been really amazing. I think the hardest part will be not smoking.

    I suppose I will spend a good chunk of time in Harmonic CONvergence (at least Sunday). Beyond that, I don't have any really specific plans. I hope to run into people. Hopefully the people I want to run into want to run into me as well.



    I really need to start figuring out what I want to do in my life in general. I have a feeling things may not be so hot at my work coming up. There has been really no good news about my work in quite a while. At the same time, I am really busy doing something that I don't overly enjoy doing.

    The house hunt has been not so good. Rates have gone up again, so we are even farther down in what we can get. The last place we were going to offer on has been on the market a year and a half....it got sold 3 days before we put our offer on. Things just don't seem to be going our way for owning a house.

    At the same time, the rental market has things pretty high at the moment, so who knows where we would even be able to afford to rent.


    Meh...off to bed, I have a conference call in 7 hours.

    Not recovered yet.
    Still not really recovered from my trip, and work has kept me busy already. I thought that after I had tied up all the loose ends on my project, coming back from vacation would be easy. Not so much.

    Got to see both [info]jf4m and [info]arachne409 today, and [info]akerasi is finally back from his trip as well.

    Off to bed, I have an early call in the morning.

    You know, it just seems like there is never enough time.

    *Edit: in the little time I have had, I have actually made some progress on my gallery*

    Maybe it helps that our sinister Arch Villain also happens to be the inept and reocurring villain, huh?! *lol*
