It's to a much lower-stress job, although only a two-year position. Change is good, I have to remind myself of that.

It's going to be an interesting year, I think.

One of the things I'm really looking forward to is that this entity allows a compressed work schedule, so if I work 9-hour days for 2 weeks, I get alternate Fridays off. Two three-day weekends per month! Awesome!

Really, the stress is about leaving my current position, where I'm a manager and have people working for me and people relying on me. And I know I don't owe the company anything, but I really like the people I work with; so leaving them, and the flexibility of private industry, is going to be a little hard.

Congrats, Consuela!

Just tried to kill myself choking on a chip and coffee. Please let me not die of something so incredibly stupid - She died because she snacked.

Not. Helping.

Funny as hell though. Okay, goal for the day is to not have anything more than air in my lungs.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I got a notice from the landlord that they did not receive my January rent...because they have a new mailing address...and didn't tell anyone.

So I have to send another check, and there's a $20 fee for stop payment on the old check which never came back. I sent the following email to the landlord:

Hi Robert,

I'm resending my rent check to the correct address, but would like to deduct the $20 fee for stop payment on the check that went to the old address, since I wasn't informed of the change. Im sending the full amoount for January, but would like to deduct it from the February rent, and will send proof of stop payment with it.

Fair?

I hope this email finds you well, and happy new year to you and yours.

Sincerely,

Me

I mean, they can't friggin argue, right?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Our wings are not tired.

Huh, a business would have to forward mail to a new address. They should pay.

Congrats, Suela! Less stress and long weekends good.
