Again, I'm suffering from an abundance of "thinky thoughts" and total inability to prioritize when it comes to putting them down.:/ I've been traipsing all over LJ reading tons of interesting stuff, checking out new potential friends and communities and generally just expanding my horizons, in a way. Which is very exciting, but also frustrating in that I have no time to PROCESS all this new information - by which I mean, TALK about it ad infinitum.:) It seems I can afford to either read stuff or discuss/write about it - and I want to do both. Badly. Why is "real life" such a mean, selfish, inconsiderate, time-consuming pain in the nether regions, dammit?... *grumbles*

Yes, work is going to be very distracting over the next few weeks, because I am preparing training materials for the new hire (still anonymous, so far, but the boss has been interviewing candidates for the past few days) - in addition to the regular stuff, which currently happens to be our biggest annual media guide getting ready for print. Yeah. Talk about timing.:/ Why, oh why couldn't the new hire wait till after we're done with this massive book?... I can multitask to a degree, but if there is too much going on at once, my brain tends to switch into panic mode. Or at least into angsty/whiny mode, which isn't fun either.:/

At least the parking ticket situation seems to have been resolved. The current owner of my former mode of transportation emailed me back, saying he will take care of it. Right on time too, because after two unsuccessful attempts to reach him by phone I was almost ready to start calling the City of Chicago Department of Revenue's customer service and begging them to please believe me that I did sell the car, even though I can't provide a single piece of evidence to that effect. *headdesk* Now at least I have his email as proof that the car is no longer my responsibility - should I receive any further correspondence from the City in the near future. Which I hopefully won't. *crosses fingers*

Now back to reading, because obviously it's too late to write more today. *sniff*

Days are just too short, aren't they? I always find that I have more ideas about what to do/say/read than I actually have time to do it in! It's pretty frustrating sometimes.

I'm glad you could get the parking ticket thing sorted out, that could have ended up being a huge pain if the new owner wasn't cooperative.

The story of my life, man.:P

Yeah, the ticket thing could be a mess. I am SO relieved the guy got back to me... I was already anticipating a massive pile of metaphorical excrement headed my way.;)
