Bleah. Today just sucks. It’s really grey out, for starters, which just feels foreboding and kind of oppressive. We brought the Mini to the body shop today, and the guy was talking about whether the insurance company for the woman that hit it would consider it “totalled” or not, and it just strikes me as a sort of “fuck you” that the insurance company could potentially basically fuck me by arbitrarily deciding that a dent in the door and quarterpanel constitutes a “totalled” car, when it’s just cosmetic fixes that are necessary.

Then, it turned out that EA took out a RIDICULOUS amount in taxes from my bonus – more than 55%, and as a result, I came up short after loaning my parents some money, which made me overdraw. We transferred some money from Ei-Nyung’s account to mine, in order to cover it (she’s the best), but even though the person on the phone last night said it’d go through just fine, it didn’t, and I got screwed.

Then, I realized that of all the designers on the project I’m working on, I’m the *only one* who’s not at E3 doing something. The weekly design lunch came up, and I realized that no one else was here. Sort of a lonely, isolated feeling, but it just kinda stacks on the other two things to just make me feel really sort of isolated and miserable, and screwed.

Bleah. I know if I’d have just slept through today, I’d have had to deal with this crap tomorrow, but there’s just so much shit to deal with right now *outside* of work, with the house, with the lawn, with the busted drain (our drainpipe out of the upstairs bathtub, which was in a pretty temporary state, came loose, and I’ve gotta fix it this weekend)… it just feels like a bunch of crap, none of which ever fucking goes anywhere.
