Regretfully Declining.

Well, we tried, and that's all that counts. We even made a Website for the campaign, and that's fifty percent of being a legitimate candidate these days, isn't it? While I am pleased that The Boyfriend will have more time to focus on what's important (i.e., me), I am a little saddened that I won't have a chance to become the First Lady of the State of California now, nor will I have a chance to redecorate his office or that atrocious mansion.

I mean, what am I supposed to do with all these Italian Marble samples now?

My Mood In A Sourdough Bread Bowl.

I have been crabbier than a motel bed with hourly rates this week. On Wednesday I stepped up from mild dissatisfaction to a full-on rage. Oddly, I managed to produce some really good work this same day; I was focused and didn't surf the Web for hours. I can't recommend it as a long-term employment strategy, though, as I also nearly threatened to burn down the building and piss on the smouldering remains.

Never underestimate the effect a couple of Gin & Tonics after a night of physical labor can have on a person. Nor a full 9 hours of sleep. So what if I didn't roll into work until 11? Can I still leave at 6? Or a better question, is anyone going to try to stop me?

Drowning Is, Appropriately Enough, Drowning.

Why the fuck is this happening to me? A spammer somewhere has attached a half dozen names (so far) to drowning.com, my other domain, and has used them as the "reply to" email for their "enlarge your penis with these pills" messages. I'm getting every failure notice on their list. I'm convinced that they bought one of those 2.9 million address CDs and are using that. At 8 PM I blocked a couple of addresses from receiving anything. I didn't notice until just now that another four names have started sending failure messages. I've gotten about 400 in the past hour. I'm afraid to turn off my email program for fear of my account filling up. I'm worried that I'll have to come up with a new email address altogether, as stressful as that may be. I am so frustrated that I could cry.

The thing that scares me most? The names they've used all start with the letter A. Does this mean I have 25 letters worth of this left to go...?
