I've been stressed out a bit lately because I've realized that the money I am currently making hardly covers my expenses. I have a trip coming up in May and I need clothes, my plane tix, spending money...lions, and tigers, and bears oh my! I've been trying to get a raise for some time now. We are allowed to ask for one every year. How long have I been waiting? I should be putting in for this year's raise now. I actually contemplated leaving my job. But I'm lazy and it's comfortable. Then again, I work with an inept, sneaky bitch...who probably makes more than me and does...hmmm...what does she do?
I got good news today though. My side job...a well that was drying up as of late...has picked up once again. It may not be much but that extra income is really going to help me out in the long run. And it's something that I find interesting. Plus there is a chance that I may see my name on an article in an accredited journal some time in the near future, which is something that I'm looking forward to.
I recently started actually using the treadmill we have in the house. It's helped me calm down a bit because I can walk off a lot of the anger I'm so quick to harbor. Which translates to me not being such a bitch to the students that walk into our offices and not letting things get to me so much. I'm sure the people in my life can appreciate that one.

yes, yes we do.
What's your side job? Not having money is extremely stressful in a time like this =/
I'm a research asst. for the chair of my dept. I'm also helping out one of our prof. He's publishing a book and i'm doing the leg work on getting his rights and permissions to the quotes he is going to use in his book. So that helps me out a bit
