dark cloud, silver lining

i fear this is going to be one of those "life sucks" days. i was at work till 7:30 last night, and was back in before 8 this morning. i have so much to do today, and i honestly don't know if i'm going to finish it all.

the good news is that my monkey picture is one of the 10 finalists in t-mobile's see seed share contest, which means i now have a 1-in-10 chance of winning the grand prize--a 5 day trip with 5 of my friends anywhere in the continental u.s. how cool! anyway, go to that webpage starting tomorrow to vote for my picture.

maybe i'll have time to update more later.

(4:07 p.m.)

i think i'm going to cry. the powers-that-be have just conferred, and the result of their discussion has rendered my last three weeks of work worthless.
