One of my new bras broke.  The strap couldn't take the weight any longer.  I'm going to try to sew it back together, so we'll see.

We went to the freezer to pull out some meat and.....the freezer had died at some point so we are now the proud owners of 150lbs of spoiled meat.  The freezer is like 6 weeks old.  We're hoping to get reimbursed for the meat somehow, but we'll see.

All kinds of annoying little things gone wrong for my project.  From an asswipe telling the CE to install the hardware in the wrong place (you can't have an I/O expansion drawer 2 racks away from the actual server!), to wrong parts being shipped, etc.  Fortunately, it all magically came together.

Wrong size hubcap was ordered.  Stupid confusing web site!

I have heard jack-squat about another thing I ordered.  Hrm, I should call about it now....and all operators were busy, so I left a message.  I'll call again later.

REI was supposed to get my fatty-friendly shoes on Wednesday, but it's been put off until next Tuesday. 

My lovely county taxing authority decided my home is worth $130,000.  HA!  There is no way in hell my home would sell for that much if I put it on the market today.  Honestly, I'd be lucky if it sold for $120k.  So now I get to go argue with the tax man.  Well, my father will probably have to do it on my behalf, because you send in a form and they schedule you for a hearing sometime between July and Sept.  clock and I might be busy on our scheduled date, so my dad is going to do it for us.

Yeah, all a bunch of little things, but I'm just having a hard time dealing these days.  Too much on my mind, too much going on.  Hard to keep up.

Fun stuff at work - 3 weeks ago, I told our interface group that they'd have to do their own disaster recovery test, as I can't go in at midnight, etc.  They were cool with it then, the senior person just pushing it off on another guy.  Well, said guy has since quit.  Anyway, the senior person has been running around the office the last few months proclaiming that she has 15 years of unix admin experience.  So this week, she realized that she would have to run the DR test, and freaked out.  She has been emailing me excuse after excuse all week.  Well, we had a meeting this morning - her, the other dude on her team, her boss, my boss, me.  My boss laid the smack-down!  It was beautiful!  I even got to bust her on her "15 years of unix admin experience."  It's the little joys in life that make it worth living.

I'm wearing my "Jonah and the Whale" necklace today.  I feel it's apropos - I'm the whale with a little dude inside.  Plus, it totally goes with my outfit and makes me look less hobo-like.

I think we're going to make a trip to Austin in a few weekends.  If we don't go now we're not going to have another chance for quite a while.

With the help of a consultant, we've totally re-built my Tivoli server.  It's beautiful.  Managing the backup system will now take up far more of my time on a daily basis, which is fine with me.  Hooray for offsite backups!

I'm pretty pleased with our money situation overall.  I think we're on track.  Finances are the thing stressing me the most wrt the little dude.  Now that I see our plan working out, I think it's going to be OK.  I'm feeling much less anxiety than I was in Dec/Jan over it.

Why are people so rude when it comes to pregnancy?  At a party over the weekend, all I got was a bunch of doom and gloom from people: "it's going to get much worse, just you wait and see!!"  "all my friends tell me that if you gain over 35 lbs, you'll never lose that weight!" etc.  WTF?  Would it kill people to be nice or encouraging every now and again?  Of course, the thing I hate the most is when people say that our lives are over once we have the kid.  Um....I don't think so.  Idiots.  I'm struggling enough as it is, I don't need to hear anything else negative.

Again, I really wish I were in a position to just quit my job today.  It just isn't worth all the crap.
