Daylight saving time can blow me...

Administration:
Happy belated birthday to 8x10glossy!

Daylight Saving Time:
Okay. Now, I'm all about driving home from work when it is light out. No panic attacks while driving home is a good thing. However...

Waking up in the morning sucks ass. It probably wouldn't be so bad, other than the fact that I was getting used to sleeping in until 8:30 or 9 every day last week. This morning I'm lucky I got out of bed at 7:45 so I wasn't late for work. Seriously, this shit sucks.

Oopsie:
So, like, one of my nice and comfortable pair of jeans got a rip in them a few weeks back. It's a rip in a spot that should be blatantly obvious when putting them on while getting dressed. Of course, looking one paragraph above this one, you would realize that I wasn't even aware that I had woken up, let alone taken a shower or managed to grab that one pair of jeans that I thought I had thrown out due to them being completely unrepairable. So, now I sit creatively. :-p

Worky Worky:
More responsibilities is a good thing, right? I mean, in theory it could point towards a possible promotion or some such. Actual promotion puts me one step closer to quitting the other job. It's turning that "possible" into "actual" that has me worried. I mean, I sit here at work all day with almost convinced that I am completely faking my way through this job and have snowed everyone over as to the fact that I know nothing about which I am talking about while here. Of course, that's the same part of me who thinks I can't sing worth shit and am incapable of academic success.

Then there's the logical side of me that knows that I pick things up faster than anyone I have ever met in my entire life and that I had my piano instructor convinced I practiced all the time when I was virtually sight-reading most of my piano pieces in my lessons. Of course, then I had an actual sight-reading exercise in my lesson and she was on to me, but still. I also only practiced my voice pieces two or three times a week outside of my lessons and still managed to get pretty nice grades.

So, yeah. Work stuff. I really would like a promotion. I definitely could use the raise. It's not like I'm going to get a huge raise for my yearly performance review, after all. I think I do pretty good work. Lord knows I'm more thorough than some co-workers, but that may not necessarily be a good thing. Of course, true to typical form, I also try to be quiet and let everyone else do all the talking. :-p We'll see what happens.

Taxes:
I really need to do my taxes. Like, now. I have to pay on federal, here's to hoping I get money back from state. ~_~ Very annoying.


Ok, out of things to ramble about for now.

Reviews are being done this week and next week, so my raise will probably already be in my next paycheck. The promotion would just be to Advanced Support Tech, and that's not a promotion out of department. It's just a more responsibilities thing.
