Boy. Today is a rant day.
Okay. First item. Apparently I owe 4500 more dollars in taxes. I've given up trying to understand how I always end up getting screwed. I thought it was just me and my non-understanding of quicktax, so I found a highly reputable accountant. He's helped out a lot, and non of this is his fault at all, but; nevertheless, there it is. A 4500 dollar bill. Okay, I tell myself, I can actually handle that, it just means working a few more contracts over the summer.
Okay. Item number 2. Contracts over the summer. I've put in no less than three sleepless nights last week working on a project just to get it the hell of my plate. Now there was a misunderstanding between my client and myself, a misunderstanding that I can say without any relucatance is _not_ my fault; regardless, the client wants a different direction now than what he told me a week ago. All my work is irrelevant now and is unsalvagable with this new direction.
I have a lot of work to do now, work that sure yeah I'll probably get paid for but I'm just so sick of it. I need to call him and get this sorted out before I get burnt out.
Item number 3. I _hate_ saying I can't/won't do something. I just as soon finish this project with another three sleepless nights this week as opposed to being realistic about its effects on my mood and health.
Item number 4. I'm feeling really aggrivated - so much today that a co-worker noticed it the second I walked into her office - the 'Lucas, everything all right? You look a little tired...." I do this to myself, and would love to say I don't know how to stop but I do - simple really, call said client up and be clear. I can't do this anymore. Find someone else. Not the end of the world.
Item number 5. Girls. I'm pretty sure I'm one less than single, and the only people who seem to be interested in me I'm just not into. Boy. Life is hard. Wink.
Wow, I actually feel much better now. And this site looks so fricken awesome - kudos to all involved.
