unproductive

it was really tough to drag myself out of bed this morning... as i did, my phone rang. in retrospect, i probably shouldn't have called myself an "idiot" when explaining to my boss that i'd shut my computer down before going to bed, forgetting that one of our services has to be run locally until i get into the office...

the problem with writing academic papers is that number of words are not the issue - but quality of words is. i'm still on the same two pages because i keep reviewing and rewriting them :P

on the lighter side of the day, i received an envelope from my previous employer with my final payslip - including compensation. i checked my bank account, and lo! i have more cash than i expected to at this point in the month. *breathes easier*
