I feel like my head is spinning right now. Soooo much going on. Trying to get over being sick, and I start a new job tomorrow, start real estate classes tomorrow (required by my lender), and possibly put an offer on a condo this week. I'm not sure I can handle all of this, but I'm going to try!

In other news, no, I'm not engaged because of the White Sox. :) It was a fun thought in May, but neither of us wanted to be married because of an arbitrary event like a baseball championship!

Well, I still hate Ticketmaster, but I love the White Sox. They have come through big for us several times in the past few weeks. Yesterday, I got a package in the mail for Matthew with some really cool items. The team heard (from me) about Matthew's fire and losing his White Sox memorabilia. I thought they'd send a pennant or a mug or something, but they really outdid themselves. And today I found out that WE'RE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES. Games 1 and 6. :) My parents might now regret offering to pay for tix!!

The mouse was just now behind my desk, in my recycling bin. Ick, ick, ick. I'm TOTALLY freaked out right now. Now, besides the wall of windows and the door I can close, I have one more reason to want to be in my new office.

In other news...

I'm Picard-- yay!

There are some words which I have known since I was a schoolboy. "With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably." These words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie -- as a wisdom, and warning. The first time any man's freedom is trodden on, we're all damaged.

Ticketmaster (still) sucks.

I just saw a mouse scampering down the hallway near my office. I'm not sure what the proper procedure is for me to report this or what in the world they might want to do about it. But now I'm a little skittish!
