Meanwhile, at Stifle-Joy Co. ...

I cried at work today. I rarely let stress get the better of me, but today was one of those days. My supervisor gave me a check that was actually posted in September, but it ended up missing for over a month and I guess they found it or something because she wanted me to post it ASAP. Now, I was right in the middle of posting the regular BCBS check (which is pretty hefty... even if it is just the rejects). I had originally wanted to try and get the majority of it done before the end of Thursday, but that's not gonna happen.

Then I added wrong on my adding machine since I keep a running tally of what I post and compare it to what's been posted so I know if I need to correct something. Turns out I accidentally added two additional payments and that's what threw me off, but by this point I was at my wits ends and that's what pushed me over the edge. *siiiiigh* I know I'm meant for something better than this, but I just don't know what it is...

And, in case you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, Barack Obama was elected our 44th President. I had a feeling he would. I should've taken bets. Regardless of who you voted for, this is an historical moment. Dad compared it to when Kennedy was elected. I only hope Obama doesn't suffer the same fate he did...

And Michael Crichton passed away! I saw this on my Yahoo news feed and my jaw almost dropped! It seems he had cancer.

Today in History: 1911
The first American transcontinental airplane flight was begun. Calbraith P. Rogers flew from Sheepshead Bay, New York to Pasadena, California. It took Rogers 49 days to make the trip; 24 days were lost due to bad weather and mechanical difficulties.
