(Insert Scream Here)

I've had it with this month. It needs to end. NOW.

Seriously, anymore stupidity that happens this month, and I'm gonna go postal. This is not a joke.

First, we lost our LCD monitor. The backlight burned out. This lovely little incident left us without any real net access for a good long while. We're now using a CRT monitor, but it feels like a huge step down. We'd love to get the LCD monitor fixed, but I'm betting that ten to one there will be no user serviceable parts inside. And trying to get it fixed will probably cost more than a new one.

Then, I caught the stomach bug from hell, and passed it to Prime. It hit him worse than it hit me. He's just now gotten over it.

Because we both felt like shit for at least two weeks, Prime and I were sniping at each other constantly. It was as though we were both ready to start a fight about something. anything, to get our minds off of feeling so lousy. All this did was lead to hurt feelings. (Sorry about all that bullshit, Prime. You forgive me?)

The fucking monster cold that I caught in December is still clinging on; I still have coughing fits from this bullshit. They mostly occur at night, just before bed. And I am dead sick of swallowing cold medication just to get a decent night's sleep.

My transfer went through in October, which is great, but the manager I am under has been in the world's pissiest mood lately; he's been threatening people with termination for nothing more than cracking jokes. I am now walking on eggshells, trying to stay the hell out of his way. And I am forced to wonder if this really was such a great idea.

Now our vacation plans are in jeopardy. We may have to cancel our reservation with our hotel of first choice because we've been screwed out of the special rate for one night. We may have to jump ship to a secondary hotel, which I don't really want to do. (All the good shit happens at the primary hotel.) But we gotta do what we gotta do, like it or not. I am still extremely pissed off about all of this, though.

Great start to 2007, no?

Fuck this month. Let's head straight to February and beyond, starting NOW.
