let's do this.

This is one of the rare times I can actually cross something off my wishlist. Come Monday, and I should be the owner of a Steelseries Siberia Neckband. Been reading reviews on this product extensively since I fell in love with it. Generally great but not something to wear for extended periods of time (I'm assuming anytime more than 4 hours) which is fine by me.

As a sidenote, there goes *alot* of money, it's easily what I spent (on myself) in the last 6 months in the space of 1 week.. fuuh, I don't think I'm going to spend so much on personal stuff in one shot anytime soon.

Work's starting to get on my nerves. The supervisor is not asking for the impossible but the impractical. I mean what she wants basically requires database table restructuring (the way I see it so far, I've gotta modify all the tables, datatypes and columns itself) and a whole lot of modification to JSP code.. which could have been avoided with proper planning of the database to begin with. I mean, come on, don't be so specific about the table data columns and then somehow expect me to create more generic functions - which is tedious (next to impossible but not entirely), because that's not the way your data is structured. I don't look like Aladdin's genie to you now do I?

As a result of trying to let off some steam, I've been hanging around LYN alot more. Got into this discussion with a pretty grumpy dude who seems to enjoy putting everyone else down because apparently *all* our heads are up in the clouds. Gimme a break man, be the happy hippy once in awhile, the whole world isn't ending tomorrow! I'll admit I sounded like the annoying fairy godmother on high trying to get everyone to crack a smile but the world just isn't worth getting depressed at, not when life is so bloody short anyway.

Hope is important. Dreams are important. And keep them in sight so that you have something to work towards. That's all I'm saying. And yes, where we stand now, it's probably more worthwhile to think of the near future because.. erm.. it's near? And more 'realistic' than 20 years in the future, if you catch my drift.

"You can go and borrow all that money, but how are you going to pay it back, since you start repayments within the month that the money's been disbursed?"

I HATE that the only option that I have to consider has such a huge brick wall in my face. But I'm definitely not going down without a fight. Think, dear, think. Didn' you just say that when you're desperate there's always a way? So think.

**after several hours**

I think.. if I'm stingy enough, I will make it. Now to discuss with the folks, see what they think.
