Being Blah

I haven't posted in a while as you can obviously see. Let's just say that besides this having been a difficult year so far, the month of October proved to be rather strenuous. There's the general stress about papers, presentations and midterms, on top of that review-time at work which is, as anyone that goes through it knows, a pain in the arse.
If there is one thing that I've learned in my years belonging to the working force, is that if you truly think you deserve better then, well you do. There is nothing worse than working yourself to the bone and in turn get not only no recognition (because let's face it, you seldom get that) but are made felt like you should be thankful for having nubs instead of fingers.
I've had my share of jobs working for, oh shall we say, completely moronic, self-centered tweet-brains (me? resentful? nah... ahem), but as long as my needs were met we could come to an agreement. The moment they started flaunting their over-blown egos and expected me to bow, I would turn around and show them my "respectful" derriere. And so now I find myself in a place where I actually don't mind working at (for the past 5 years! damn, that should say something) but not seeing the buck. It's still in negotiations but it's slowly killing the gusto I had of showing my face, rolling-up my sleeves and getting into the grind of things. I really hope it doesn't go south.
Hey, just living in this big ol' city is stress enough, I've of course added a few more things to stress about because that's how I function, but I've always liked to have one thing of all the major aspects go right, so I'm hoping this one stands up to the plate.
Just to be fair school is going great and, oh yeah, I've got my health, right? right.

So I write today a few pounds lighter (OK, not a bad thing), a few hairs less (that's not so good) and with my eyebrows still intact hoping that 2007 ends soon, it ain't so chirpy after all.
