I am having an I Hate Everything day.

I broke the comb I've been carrying. Trash to treasure: what can you make from a broken comb? Good luck; I can't even make a joke out of it.

What the @#$!ing @#$! happened to BRCM Tuesday? Blargh.

Speaking of money, there's... never mind. Just let's not even go there. I sum up: I am NOT cut out for investing.

Too much to do. Learn every microscopic detail of USB. Oops, no, learn every microscopic detail of PCI. Oops, no, fix the build. Oops, no, fix these three bugs. How's that USB project coming? Hey! the build! ...*boom*.

My hair is growing. Can't I just turn that off? I already cut it once! Only two months ago, even! But it's really ugly awful hard-to-manage long for the style I (must admit I) hadn't actually mastered anyway.

My next free time is some time Monday night. As stressful as my job is, I love the work week because no one can add anything MORE to it. I work, I stress about work, I don't have to stress about anything else until the weekend, end of story.

And I seem to be allergic to -- just from personal observation, mind you, no tests yet, but the reaction's pretty noticeable -- I seem to be allergic to, get this, Caladryl.

Found this on mortonsalt.com:

"Morton loved the picture that expressed the Morton message — the message that salt would run in damp weather. But they felt the copy that went with it — ("Even in rainy weather, it flows freely") was too long. They felt it needed to be shorter and snappier.

More suggestions included "Flows Freely," "Runs Freely," "Pours" and finally, an old proverb, "It never rains, but it pours." The adage was vetoed as being too negative, and a more positive spin on it resulted in the now famous slogan, "When it Rains It Pours." "

Cool!
When I lived in the tropics, even Morton wouldn't pour--we used to have to put rice into the shaker to help break it up.

I thought that's just what everybody did. I guess some people choose a particular kind of salt instead! :-)
