Today was slow and painful. My allergies are acting up and causing me all kinds of problems. I ‘ll get over them quick though. I probably just need to spend a lot of time outside. It worked when I went to Six Flags once…my allergies or something was making me sick, but I stayed outside all day and got better.

Anyway, someone that is not getting better is Carol. She has a balloon in her heart and has to have a triple-bypass on Thursday. The doctors say it doesn’t look good. I’m not quite sure what to think about it all. Indirectly, and unexpectedly I got what I wanted, which was her to quit; but now I have to deal with the fact that I got into this position.

Steve wants to put her on stand-by for working, but I don’t think she will be working with us anymore. I have to find some people to replace her, and have three people I would like to hire, I just have to get Steve to OK it.

I worked with Jackie today, and since we were slow, I got to talk to her some more. It’s really very interesting to hear some of her stories, and for the first time in a while, I got to tell some of my stories. I don’t usually like to tell stories from my boring life (it’s boring to me, maybe not to other people). Anyway, I found out that, looking back at my college days, I have had an interesting life…especially over the last year and a half.

We watched Shawshank Redemption tonight. It’s a pretty good movie, still, even though I’ve seen it near 5 times. I was reminded of the Easter Break last spring that I stayed at Mike V.’s Aunt’s house. He had not seen the movie before, but liked it.

It snowed today…ever-so-slightly. But as usual, I missed it. Dah well…I’ve seen snow before.

That’s all tonight. Laterz.

I'm Neo, creator of the-spot.net. This journal is a digital form of the paperback journal that I kept each day from December 21, 2002 until March 23, 2003. It details my life experiences during those three months: the transition from college sophomore to adult, interactions with my parents, and general life after leaving the private college on-campus "bubble". These days I'm much better now, and living on my own. I haven't talked to my parents since May 2005 when my brother graduated high school.
