I've been missing...

I woke up this morning in a panic... I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find a place to get my prints done in time to get them shipped to Miami.

I admit it... I am a big worry wart. I worry about everything it seems..

I did manage to find a place to get my prints done although it's going to cost me... but I supposed to have to spend money to make money...

Yesterday I went to visit Mark Kostabi's studio... I managed to make $21.00 then and today I went to Title This and I took home $30.00. I guess that almost makes up for the fact that I haven't gotten my paycheck for working National Portfolio Day....

Jenna is in town and we're supposed to have dinner. Hopefully I won't fall asleep during it.

More later when I'm not so tired.

These are Mark Kostabi's shoes...

There is a paycheck god...

I was checking out my bank accounts online this morning and realized that I have finally been paid for my ww meetings from this summer. My first inclination was to go out and buy something but then I thought better... I decided to actually subtract my student loan from my checkbook before it's due.

In other news I have been offered to have a show in Chicago next year. It's a small gallery in the Fine Arts Building... it's a small space but it would be a solo show. I think I'm going to do it. I just have to figure out what month I want to do it. I'm thinking I should wait until at least mid year so I can afford to fly out there twice.. or I could have it coincide with the MFA show so I can see all of my friends work... oh the decisions to make...

I was thinking that I could go see another movie today... Maybe I'll go see Dan in Real Life... it looks good. Not that I should be spending the money...

I took this photo last Sunday on my walk. It's near the United Nations.

Updates

Finally, I received my paycheck from ww yesterday. Just in time I guess, only three months late.

I've woken up with a pain in my shoulder blade (It sucks getting old). I suppose I should make an appointment to see my favorite chiropractor before I go off on my big adventure.

Here's one thing I hate (besides bitchy girls and whiny men) - when you get locked out of your online banking because you have one of those bad typing moments. I was having one of those such moments yesterday and now I can't login to see what's going on with my account. It's making me cranky. I had to open a new account with another bank because my real bank doesn't have branches in New York. They are transferring money from my old account to set up this new one.. I have to keep track of the minuscule deposits they put in my old account and record them with my new bank to verify my account (did that make sense)? Now when I try to login to my existing bank account I keep getting an account alert emailed to me. It's making me cranky. I know they are just trying to protect me from online fraud - but in this case they are trying to protect me from myself. errrrr.

Hey, that was a pretty good rant. Not like some that I'm sure I'll come up with in New York... but it's a start. I was tracking my visitors yesterday (yes, you're being watched) and followed a link to an old post of mine. I seemed to be much more interesting in 2006. I think I'll try to strive to that old standard in the weeks to come.

The saga is over...

The paycheck... I found out that the paycheck I've been waiting for for over two months was accidentally sent to my Chicago address. I decided to have a stop payment put on the check because the forwarding of my mail has not been the swiftest thing and the Chicago postal workers are not so good... They are going to re-issue my paycheck and send it to me in Seattle.

When I got home last night the paycheck was in the mail. It will be a nice memento... all $223.15. It will probably cost them 50 bucks to put the stop payment on it.

I've been having issues with my wifi (okay, my neighbors wifi...). It's not been very reliable in letting me be able to send email messages. I can receive them, but it's taking so long for them to go over the airwaves they time out. (If I am not good with the technical terms there excuse me...).

Today is going to be fairly uneventful... I should go to the gym, I should clean up my room and start organizing things for my future... I should reproduce. Maybe I'll go see a movie. The world is my oyster.

On the down low...

Yesterday I ended up working until noon and then going home. I haven't slept this much since I don't know when. My stomach still hurts but I think it's more because I don't have any food in it. I'm a bit scared to eat anything because I don't want it to mess me up. I'm not good at being sick.

Today I am going to go to work and see how it goes... my back is hurting too but I think that's because I've been sleeping so much and the muscles aren't being given their normal workout.

On the ww Paycheck front, supposedly a check was mailed to me last Friday. Hopefully it will show up today. I need to start building up my savings account for my future endeavors.

Let's see, what else can I rant about... the fact that I'm 40, single and falling apart? Nope - that doesn't seem worth ranting about right now...

The wait continues...

I STILL have not received a paycheck from ww for any of my Seattle meetings. I like the program - but this really sucks. Whose house do I need to burn down? it's only been over two months. I'm getting cranky and I feel a full blown rant coming on soon.

I am really tired today... it's raining outside and it would just be nice to hang out on the sofa with Tucker and Ann Curry.



I miss Ann.
