News from the Best Job Ever

I shall use my morning migraine break (that's a coffee break with aspirin added -- migraine seems to be responding, yay!) to tell you some good things about my job. (This is not to gloat, but to express gratitude. If I made more money, maybe I'd gloat, but I suspect even my friends on unemployment are clearing more than I am.)

1) There was a glitch and I didn't get paid this month. Not only are they rushing around to fix this, but they *volunteered* to pay the bounce fee this caused when my beginning-of-the-month automatic bill payments went through.

2) The new great-grandboss not only seeks our input, he *listens*. I have worked a lot of places, so I know this is rare, but now I have three bosses (boss, grandboss, and new great-grandboss) who do this. It's like there's a magical dome of awesomeness in this building.

3) It's UC Berkeley. That in itself deserves its own gratitude point.

4) Right next door to my office, there's a snack bar that sells a bowl of hot oatmeal (with your choice of butter, honey, raisins, brown sugar, cinnamon, etc.) for $1.25, and a cup of coffee with free soymilk (vanilla or chocolate) for $.99. So for $2.24, I had oatmeal and a soy mocha for breakfast. I'm happy.

What are you grateful for today?

I'm having a panic attack about all the work there is to do for the magazine (and the things that are going to shit financially because my paycheck is 4 days late). This is my hobby, and it's going fine. I do not need to freak out over it. All will be well. I think it's time to step away from the computer for a while, though.

I spent the evening distracting myself from crying (and someotherguy helped by entertaining me on IM). I need to get to bed now, but here's the "things I've done" meme thingy before I do:

Bold the things you have done.

Italicize all the things you WISH you had done or would like to do.

Strikthrough all the things you DO NOT want to do, ever.

( Something to do while the upstairs neighbors boink. :-) )
