time to relax a bit. (yeah, right)

i'm seriously condsidering dropping this 5-week psychology 102 class. first of all, the real professor had a "family emergency" and some clueless woman is trying to teach it for the first two weeks. that's almost half of the class in a mini-mester. secondly, i already finished one 5 week course this summer and i'm still taking a 10-week. thirdly, i'm losing my friggen' mind. if i drop this course, i'll be able to relax a little bit until fall semester. i just hope i don't end up regretting the decision.

work has been adding a lot of stress lately. the promotion i just received means that i'm having to take in a lot more responsibility and also learn a new program. it's a pretty complex source-control program called "Clearcase". i have to learn it in and out because i will soon be the only "clearcase administrator" for Wilsonville, Longmont, Marlboro, and Huntsville. funny thing is, when my boss first approached me about the new job, he said i would just be helping the current administrator. now all of a sudden i'm told that he's getting a different job in the company, and i will be the only go-to guy after training.

i've seen this guy working major-overtime.
i've seen lines of developers outside of this guy's cubicle.
i've heard his phone ring all day long.
i'm not so excited anymore.

i don't see how these people ever expect me to get my degree. i swear i'll end up in an insane asylum screaming about dynamic views and interleave deltas at the rate i'm going.

oh well... suck it up, wes. you're such a little pansy boy.
