My job: I'm a help desk manager. Interesting, since my company has no help desk. So it's my job to develop one, right? Would be, except that my title apparently carries no authority. I can't actually make any decisions or lay down any laws. So here I sit, playing NetHack and building machines and answering level one support calls. Whatever.

I'm taking an MCSE class, which the company is paying for, and which I did not have to sign any "I promise not to quit for n months" crap. So as soon as I get the cert, I'm finished.

People have told me I should do one of these. I am 32, employed, and about to have a son. Seems like a good time to do it.

I've also recently gotten back on Celexa, an antidepressant in the same family as Prozac. I was on it for a little while a couple of years ago and it worked wonders for me. I've been managing ickiness for most of my life.
