Group hug, people! I'm freee!
I'm free from my horrid job. Free from my cold fish boss, my co-worker with that don't-mess-with-my-work-you're-making-me -look-bad mentality.
The saying "all things work together for good" has never been true before.
I forgot to say yesterday was my last day of work. But I guess it's not strange to say I'm not at all disappointed or sad. I mean, who would? On the contrary, I am dancing on tiptoes because as soon as I got home, I got calls from two possible job offers.
Now I only have a mountain of homework to deal with. -gulps-

I thought I was ready for my next block of classes.
Why is it that some professors' idea of a welcome to class is putting up a notice of your first writing assignment (350-100 words) due on the last day of the same week while other professors is to initiate friendly introductions first?
Hmph.
Aughhhhhhhhh!

She didn't come to work today.
And I don't blame her. She's probably counting the days till she leaves.
Who wouldn't?
On the bright side, I'm at home with my new Gateway Core I duo Media Center desktop pc with the 19" Viewsonic flat panel that I got from Office Depot.
I personally liked the Viewsonic screen better than Gateways. Both were LCD, surprisingly, however, Viewsonic had a brighter widescreen. So the rave reviews weren't lying, after all.
And to think I got the whole thing for just a little over a thousand. My uncle got a similar desktop months earlier but it cost him about 1500 bucks. I think it's because he added a printer and other accessories to it.
Personally, I'd never buy something wouldn't really need. Seems like every stuff we buy these days, particularly computers comes with some pricey warranty or some other.
It's amazing how a computer advertised for $699 can get up to 1000 if you're, er, not careful. I think there should be a crash course on smart buying for all adults especially the college students.
Smart buying is actually part common sense, come to think of it. I mean, who wouldn't know that you don't have pay 30 something for warranties against spills, drops etc.?
Why do people drink coffee and have cake on their laptops anyway?
