liz, you can plan a pretty picnic, but you can't predict the weather.

i recently discovered i have 40 hrs left of vacation. originally i thought i only had 40 hrs total. im sure they told me i had but 5 days off total. my last day work this year is the 21st. it was like finding 5 bucks in your pocket a thousand times. i was really excited.

all my surroundings would suggest that life is great. and it is. baltimore is great. i still have friends around the mid-atlantic area. but still having a hard time shaking this pessimism. whats the deal.

by the way, my team won the photo-scavenger-hunt (at the work office party blow your face off). i was team captain. i got to boss around big daddy c (thats what i call my boss)...actually i didnt really boss anyone around, but i pretended too. come on optimisim.

(thanks zeye)
