A co-worker bought a McRib because the combo was cheaper for what she really wanted (fries and a soda) and then couldn't find anyone else to give it to. I devoured that thing in about five seconds. Had no idea it was back. Since I'm leaving early today I was planning on surviving on leftover cookies until I got home.

Week 2 of my job came to a close, and I just had my first "Beer Friday"! Last week I finished up and was sent home before the festivities began (just because I was out of work to do, not because I did anything wrong), so I made sure to stick around this time.

I found a package of Knorr vegetable bouillon in an abandoned cart in the parking lot of the grocery store. I don't use bouillon, but still, free poo poo is free poo poo.

Got my first ever firearm today, a shotgun! Something about holding it in my hands just feels right. Also I went with my friend to a gun shop so he could order a handgun, and I found out that they had the gun that I wanted in stock. It is a rather popular model, and I had been told at my local shop that the wait period could be up to 6 months, so I reserved the gun with a down payment and will fill out the paperwork tomorrow! So happy that I don't have to wait months and months...

Mix CDs are like mixtapes except way less personal since they're much cheaper, you can fit way more music and they take so much less time and effort to make. Back before MP3 players became big, my friends and I made mix CDs for each other all the time since it was a shitload easier than just giving all our CDs to each other.

I started getting help for anxiety/depression/social phobia ~3 months ago. Today I got to do something which I have wanted to do for years but was always afraid to. I spent the afternoon at an animal shelter, petting all kinds of nice cats and just doing volunteer stuff. If I could afford it and my apartment didn't have a 2 cat limit, I might have adopted 4 of them. Doing this will be a habit of mine now, loving awesome way to spend a Saturday.

Had a really lovely week at work, a couple friends talked me into going out for "one drink" which turned into five or six hours of partying including a prolonged grind session with a lovely lady. Haven't had one of those in a really long time and I'm already feeling better about this next work week.

A friend of mine got invited to a 'zombie prom', which I thought was pretty awesome and that he'd have a ton of fun with. Unfortunately, he's a manic-depressive who was currently on the 'depressive' side of things. With a bit of convincing, I managed to tell him to make use of his hoarding tendencies to be a 'Ghost of Fads Past' by way of combining most of an Eleventh Doctor outfit, some outdated hat, a Beanie Baby, Pokemon cards, and learning as many outdated dances as he could in a six-hour timespan. He had the time of his life

Arrived at work to a bunch of staff panicking about the Admin server being down and I was the only tech coming today. I said 'give me 5 minutes' having absolutely no idea what the problem was. Got to my office and found that someone had unplugged the media converter. Easy fix, made me look like a drat hero.

I was described as a 'Guardian Angel', specifically in a conversation with out arsehole bordering sexual-harrassment-committing boss. First time someone's ever said anything like that before, felt really great considering all my life all I've ever done is help and protect others who are unable to stand up for themselves. My boss loving hates me now, but has backed the hell off .It also made me feel like a worthwhile human being since my dad died, and lifted a huge amount of guilt. I made it through one year and am back on the right path  .

I expected today would bring a) exhaustion, b) a lot of fluff and bother over Halloween in the office, c) my old boss showing up since she's been promoted to a national position and I've heard from two different people that she was coming to see us, and d) rejection from a really great company I've applied to. Today has instead brought a) energy, b) a subdued but still really enjoyable celebration of the holiday here in the office, c) the realization that I got bad information AND misheard the name of someone whose name is one letter off of my old boss's, and d) a phone interview for this Thursday. All that and somebody brought a ton of KFC into the lunchroom. I am near tears.

I managed to get up early and when I drowsily went to take my fish oil capsules I discovered that some prankster had filled the bottle with Swedish fish instead. Obviously a trade up.

Went on a date last night with this super handsome boy. We've been crushing on each other for a few months now. He drove all the way from his house, an hour away, to come pick me up so we could go rollerskating. He bought me dinner, we went to a street fair, and then hung out and talked for hours. And then as I was leaving his car he said, "Wait, you forgot something!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

After searching for the cause of a bug in some code for nearly two weeks, I found it and finally was able to fix it, embedded deep within some procedures. There was basically a small meeting today where we discussed how good I was for finding the code, and everyone was congratulating me. Pretty sweet.

I took a half-day at work because my new job as a non-engineer at an engineering firm ran out of things for me to do because I'm getting too fast at it, but my boss is going to teach me AutoCAD (Computer Assisted Design) so I can work on other stuff when I'm done with my daily tasks. How cool is that?!

After a crummy weekend and beginning-of week, last night I took a long hard look at this situation involving a couple of friends, myself, and a beautiful girl, and found a little bit of hope again because I realized an immutable and reassuring truth about the situation. I wrote it down, folded it up, and put it in my pocket, and now it is there to reassure me whenever I may need it. This all sounds very vague and silly but you have no idea how much this note is helping me.
