With an hour and a half almost to spare, I've exceeded the high standards production goals for the day. Some days I wish I was salaried, so I could just leave. Summoning up the enthusiam for overtime is difficult. My overtime hourly rate is what I should be making normally, and the contrast irks me. The company advances fifty notches in the Fortune 500 ranksing and suddenly I have to shell out $300 to get prescriptions filled. I can't even check how much the cost of these drugs will be, and the fucking insurance may just decide not to cover them at all.

Alan is taking me out to one of my favorite restaurants for my birthday. That will make up for the working. Just keep thinking about that instead of everything else.

Melynda told me last night that I should tell the world the reason I don't go out so much is because I can't stand the guilt trips, the "we hardly ever see you!" or the "why don't you come out more?" things I hear. Mostly I don't like being put on the spot for my natural inclinations. I'd go out more if I wasn't tired from a job that dulls my brain, or if I wasn't so worried about money and other more serious obligations. It doesn't have anything to do with how much I care about my friends.
