Much-needed mental health day

I decided at the last minute to call in sick today: I just couldn't face the parade of obnoxious people today, plus my allergies are utter hell in my head. I think I've developed an immunity to all known OTC allergy meds, but since I'm off my dad's health insurance -- unless we can convince Blue Cross Blue Shield otherwise -- I can't get the one thing that worked for me, and that was Zytec. So I've been taking it easy today, watching movies, including "The Godfather" (Man, I wish I had connections to the Mob right now. In some ways, it would solve half my problems....) and "The Poseidon Adventure" (which has already given me an idea for a one-shot fanfiction; I watched it on my dad's reccomendation, after one night when a co-worker of his had brought in the DVD of the remake from earlier this year).

To everyone who posted with support to my last entry: Thank you so much, folks. I hope I didn't spook you too much, and I just want you all to know how much you mean to me.

I have to admit, that show of support gave me the impetus to do something I've been meaning to do for a very long time, and that was to write a letter to the editor of a local newspaper a message with the self-exaplanatory heading "Want better service? Try being a better customer". It was a hard fight keeping the vitriol out of the message, but I hope I got the idea across, and I hope it gets published.

Another bit of good news: I just got a lovely new mousepad I'd ordered, featuring the logo of the Devil's Advocates, the MxO faction I'm part of. This gives you an idea of what it looks like.
