I'm still in crunch mode, which kind of aggravates me because I'm severelly sleep-deprived and need to do laundry. But respite will not come until the middle of next week, even though I spent an hour and a half in an overcrowded and overheated conference room yesterday learning about the medical & dental insurance plans my company is switching to. I'd like that hour back in my life, please, and I honestly think it would've been more pleasurable actually going to the dentist than sitting in the Meeting That Never Ends™. I had to call the gas company this morning because my pilot light on my heater went out overnight -- again. When the woman answered my call and asked what the problem was and I told her my pilot light went out -- again -- I had to immediately apologize and say, "I'm sorry... I'm not angry at you, I'm just cold." She laughed and said, "Awwww... bless your heart!" And strangely enough, that somehow made me feel a little better, like even though my day was starting to suck early on, things would still balance out by the time I go to bed tonight.
