I hope you know (I hope you know) that this has nothing to do with you. It's personal, myself and I, we've got some straightenin' out to do.

Free ringtones are, maybe, one of the best things to ever happen to the world. I changed the personalized ringtones for several of my contacts. The ones I downloaded were "Breath" by Breaking Benjamin, "I Kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry (yeah, yeah. I know.) and the theme to The Office. "Breath" was downloaded for one specific person, but the other two have several recipients. Now people just need to call me so I can hear them.

I only worked 2 1/2 hours today, because I was about at my 40-hour cap. After I got off of work, I went for a drive down the Parkway and took some fall pictures for publication. It was pretty nice, not being concerned with a whole lot, and just driving. I hate how much gas costs, but you know? Driving calms me. It gives me an opportunity to roll the windows down, blast whatever music I'm in the mood for, and not really think about a whole lot, except for trying to stay somewhat close to the speed limit. (One of my friends was in the car with me the other day and he said he loved my "Richard Petty style of driving." So there you go.) Some of the parkway pictures are on my facebook, if you're one of my friends. If not. . .well, sorry, I guess.

Tomorrow is Thursday, which means another production day. Which means another day of trying to please everyone and succeeding only about 75% of the time. I had it out with Vi today (well, no. "Had it out" sounds so harsh. I had a discussion with Vi today about people sending things and them not getting in. What kills me, really kills me, is that people will flat out LIE about me not getting back with them. They'll say, "Oh, I've called her 5 times and sent 10 e-mails, and she never got back with me." Lies. Then they'll go to the general manager because their WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT wasn't printed on the exact day they wanted it printed. Well, I'm so very sorry that I wasn't able to follow YOUR timeline, because, obviously, YOU are the ONLY person in this county that matters. I don't have 12 other announcements that need to get in, so please, by all means, let me make you my number one priority. You and you alone, because I don't have anyone else breathing down my neck at the moment. May I get you a beverage? A pair of slippers? You are, after all, the only person who matters.

Psst. Want to hear a secret? No one, save your family, cares about your wedding. They'll see it in the paper, skim it to see if they know anyone involved, and then immediately forget about it. No one cares, you see. No. One. Cares.

But that's all I really need to say about that.

Also, apparently, despite Vi telling me over and over again that job security is not at all an issue for the people left, I found out today that our revenue is down $80,000. . .from last MONTH. Not last year. Last month. And I'm saying, if I don't find a new job, and SOON, it's entirely possible the entire damn thing will shut down, and I'll be out on my ass anyway. I might hate my job, but I enjoy getting a paycheck.

All that aside, I'll make the comment that it's always nice when someone notices you're not there, and lets you know they noticed. It's. . .nice. Especially when you don't always know what that particular person is thinking on any given day. That's all I'll say about that.

So I'm going to close out here, because I'm taking advantage of free coffee shop wireless, and it's truly freezing in here, especially considering I had an iced drink.

More whenever.
