Except for the really harsh hand-coding, I have finished uploading through August of 2007. The vast majority of the uploading from now on will be automated from the GJ/IJ mirrors.

Jesus christ, I need a drink.

As it turns out, uploading the more recent history is way more traumatic than the old stuff, even being miserable in Texas in 2006, because my memories of it are so much clearer and you guys? How did I not realise how incredibly miserable I was at the box office last year? I mean I know I didn't have a gold standard to compare it to, but seriously. Many terrible things have happened in 2008 but at least I don't work for a fucking nutbar anymore. As much as I liked my coworkers...fucking nutbar.

Dear BossBoss: I love my job and I am grateful you think I am competent and I will burn you a Torchwood DVD set and I want you never to fire me. Yrs, Sam.

I think that quite often it's MUCH BETTER that you don't know at the time. You focus on getting through, and don't take the time to contemplate the horribleness or the misery or whatever, and you DON'T TURN INTO A MASS MURDERER, which is good.

Sometimes it's not quite as good though: that's how I have always gotten when I'm coming down with pneumonia. You know: "I'm ok, just reallyreally tired; I'll get up and walk across the floor when I get up the energy...."

I'm all in favour of not turning into a mass murderer :D

I just re-read those old entries and think to myself, how did I even cope? I didn't think I was that thick-skinned....
