Journal Entry
Still very very tard... I feel like I've been beaten upon. I had a really pud night, too, I'm glad that it wasn't busy... although I would've had less time to feel sorry for myself.
I got some good news last night, though... my supervisor has resigned. Well, "stepped down" was the term used. This is the job that I wanted 18 months ago and didn't get... and I still want it.
In fact, I want it really bad. Suddenly, working nights has lost its appeal. I want to be able to make a difference in the direction that the department is steered, not just be along for the ride. I've been riding long enough. There are a lot of things that can be changed for the better, and I want to do that... and I can't do anything from where I am right now. I want to jump into the middle of this mess and make some good things happen.
My cold symptoms have somewhat abated, but I'm way overmedicating myself, I'm afraid. I should be able to taper off after tonight, though. I do wish that, when I feel good, I could remember how bad I feel when I feel bad... just so's I could appreciate feeling good a little more acutely. We take good health for granted, and that's pretty damned silly.
The weather... beautiful! Like, it's really going to be autumn here... temp is now in the 50s, it'll get up to 65 or so today. Summer, and hot weather, is over finally!
Unfortunately, nilknarf.net seems to be offline... but I think that I can FTP this, it's just that nobody will be able to see it. O'well...
No picture today... I had about ten people tell me that I look like hell last night...
More tomorrow...
