Man...

Well, personal update here. First off, the wage freeze is over! Joyous days! They instituted my raise (which, given the circumstances, I'm pleased with but isn't remotely near market value) and also opted to pay everyone who shoulda had theirs done by the time the freeze was implemented all of their back pay. Which means I got a nice "bonus" check. Life is good, right? Right. With this money, I decided to get my cars tires looked at (they did not need changing, thankfully. Erik (my boss) thinks that I can get another year out of them if I don't drive much, which I don't. Anyway, I also opted to get some pressing medical stuff done for my kitty pixie. She got her dental work done. Once again, not as bad as I feared, and I should still have a nice sum left over. As I'm typing this, Blaze is being brazen and hopping onto my desk, flopping on my keyboat3146... well you get the idea. He's been incredibly affectionate of late and I'm not sure why but I'm definitely not complaining. I think it's because he's cold. Wyre was set to bring in almost twice what he owes monthly for rent and everything was going good. Well everyone knows that shit doesn't happen to me - nothing good ever does without bad to balance it. Kinda a bummer.

Anyway, what's the bad you ask? Well, nothing other than Wyre getting let go from his job. Now he's jobless and set to once again not make rent. Oi... I don't want to have to do it but I may end up having to send him home. It sucks and I don't want to, but frankly he's way behind on rent, doesn't help with food, and overall is a burden I cannot, and should not have to shoulder. I gave him until January to find a job or a new place. I hope that I can maintain this apartment by myself, but hopes aren't high on it. I may have to try to find a new or temporary room-mate until April, at which point I'm hoping to find a house or something cheaper to rent. We'll see.So yeah, that's a fairly accurate summary of my life right now.

I did have to get a new couch, which I paid off immediately of course, and got a killer deal on it, though the kitties did manage to prick a few holes in the leather ($1800 Cordovan couch for 500 bucks out the door). It looks great. Um... what else.. work's been going all right. I need a vacation, and I guess everyone is getting one for the xmas shutdown. Dec 24th - Jan 1st. Fun. Oh! I'm Insane. Well, Insane in the Membrane. On WoW. Yup! I finally finished grinding out everything needed for the title "Michichael the Insane" in World of Warcraft (Venture Co).

That's about it! It's late, I'm going to bed.
