Grumpyasaurus me. I get too worked up over small things. There's someone I work with -over in a different building that - not that I don't like, but that I just don't like being around, person repulses me - who rides my bus. It's a catch 22. In S. - people might say hi - but unless you sed you were going to talk the next time you saw them on the bus, they left you alone. It's like private time. This person I can tell is offended that I don't sit down and converse when I'm on the bus, but I just can't do it - especially in the mornings. That sounds silly, but I'm afraid I won't be able to be nice. I already had a bit of a screaming incident this morning because an asshole in his big car almost hit me and then screamed obscenities at me while I was in the LEGAL crosswalk. So I screamed back - not the way you want people at work to see you - but I felt I was right to.

So - if I'm riding the bus, I'm going to have to get up earlier. I get the feeling this person is from the midwest.I'm starting to realize that I don't get on so well with people from the midwest. My boss in the last job was from there. They're generally honest and hardworking, but seem to have a narrow view of whatever they're looking at and if you don't act the way that they think you're supposed to - then by god there's something wrong with you. It's really funny! SO had an office associate from Iowa or Indiana, and she was just so enthusiastic to help us plan the wedding. I don't even know this person - and never would since she was leaving the deparment. And she was offended because I didn't take her personally up on the offer - she wasn't even invited because we had to keep it small.

I'm tired! this is so hard - I feel like we're so poor, but we're really lucky. If my life were just buisness as usual, I'd spend my free time to try to get another job to make a little extra money. But - I need that free time for the classes. Anyway - we've just had a lot of expensive things going on. I forget that most people don't try to do what we've done. With downpayments, the wedding, what'll now be the car, my trips to S and SO's to prof. things, we've probably eaten up or needed about $50K since i moved here. From that viewpoint, since we're not accruing a lot of debt, we're probably doing extremely well.
