Y2 D230

Ya know, I knew I forgot to mention something yesterday that was contributing to my mood. Before I went and cooked for my boss, I went into my leasing office. My lease is almost up and of course they are raising my rent. The rental market is still strong thanks to no one being able to buy houses. To them my rent is only going up $30. To me it's $130. I had a $100 off special for 12 months which is now expired. I was expecting the $100, not $130. I know it's a bit of a quibble point, but it's $360 more a year than I was expecting. I am signing a 15 month lease though. I don't want to move for a while. I just don't want to deal with it. When I weigh out the cost of movers, deposits, etc, it's just cheaper for me to stay put.

Yesterday was rough at work. We did another round of UAT and I found a HUGE error in my reports. It was something that only was caught because we are in a new year. The reports do a year over year comparison and I was looking at the entire prior year instead of the comparable year to date for the prior year. It sounds odd, but trust me, it is a big issue. I spent all day trying to work through the problem. I finally got it figured out, but now today I have to apply it to all the reports and retest every single one of them. Pain in the ass.

After work I hit the thrift store and found a little desk/occasional table for my room. It was totally beat up, but I threw a coat of paint on it, and voila, I now have a place for my laptop and some other stuff in my room. It's small, but it's perfect and the best part is it was $25. On top of that, it gave me something to do last night. I need to get some more paint today to finish it, but these kinds of projects are good for my sanity.

Caught up on some DVR while I ate last night and then went to bed. No one called or emailed me last night. A little boring in that respect, but I survived as always.

The kid is having her wisdom teeth pulled today. She is a nervous but she will pull through. I will call her tonight just to laugh at her on drugs. I know she will be doped up for a while so this should be amusing.
