**I** just want to say I’m feeling happy right now. You know how it is, when you’ve been procrastinating over something for a looong time, because you don’t want to deal with the negatives of changing? And then you make the decision…and you feel such relief? ---

**S** hare the details…well, I’ve been getting more and more aggravated about an unfair situation at work, but I knew that there would be no ‘easy’ solution due to staffing cut backs and office politics and so forth. Basically I’ve now decided to immediately start looking for a new job AND will start on a course of action that is going to cause problems and unpleasantness at work. Hopefully I will be able to be gone before the old workplace becomes TOO unpleasant as a result. (I ranted about it in the Pit, title something like ‘You’re the ones who chose to have children’ so you could read about it there – 'fraid I don’t know how to do links.) ---

**W** hen we run out 9 digit phone numbers and have to move to a higher number of numbers well … let’s just say you thought writing 2002 on your 2003 checks were bad. **X** i is a nifty scrabble word, it’s a Greek letter. ---
