At 3:30 am, I think it’s safe to say I should consider laying off the Stackers.  I’m antsy, irate, and feeling a little faint.  A lot faint when I do things like stand up.  Duuuuh.

In other news, I retooled my resume to reflect that I’ve spent the last several years doing clerical work rather than project management.  I’m tired of hearing the word “overqualified.”  It’s a nice ego boost the first time you hear it.  The tenth time, when your life is falling apart and you need money, and you’re more than willing to make coffee and sort mail to get it, the ego boost loses its appeal.  Hopefully something will come along soon.

Also, I had a victory at CVS today.  I’ve been trying off and on for about a week to use one particular $10 ECB, and for some reason the cash register keeps rejecting it.  I don’t know what the malfunction is, but I do know that cashiers are able to override the computer, and I’ve been royally pissed that they have all refused to do so.  Tonight I finally got a cashier who did it, so I walked out with three 12-(double) roll packages of Charmin and one 8-pack of Bounty paper towels from a grand total of $1.58, after using the “problem” ECB and a few others.  I earned another $10 ECB from the deal.  It was exciting.

I’ll probably roll the new ECBs over into free SoyJoy bars and a tube of toothpaste, then spend them on Buy One, Get One Free All laundry detergent and a gallon of milk. 

It seems my parents are coming to visit this Sunday.  I’m glad they are coming (and that my dad will be taking a serious look around here with thoughts of relocating), but upset that they will be taking my sister back with them.  Granted, I’ve had her for three weeks… But it’s not been a good three weeks, and I will miss her when she is gone.

I will definitely have to do a thorough house-cleaning.  My parents have never seen my home and, at the age of 26, I guess I still need validation from my parents that I am “doing a good job” (even when I’m not).
