Journalcon was a failure. I didn't manage to meet anyone, except
weetabix & trancejen for a second, and they immediately ignored me,
so ...I skulked away.

1 workshop. a few veggies. a cup of coffee, maybe a cup and a half.
and enough self-hatred to derail all my self improvement plans for a
few days. And that's what my $55 bought me.

*sigh*

while I'm venting, there's a lady here at work who is moving from
Austin. She said she had extra cap metro passes she was going to give
me since she wouldn't need them. I said thanks, and now she never has
given them to me, even though i ran into her in the restroom and she
talked about them again after that first time. WTF. I dont' care if
someone gives me anything, but don't tell me you are gonna give me
something and then NOT. And there is no polite way to remind someone
of a self-inflicted favor they took on in regards to you...it's just
annoying.

[Aunt L] did this to me, too. Said something about sharing her bonus or
giving everyone a little something or somesuch after she retired. And
she hasn't.

It's her money, so I feel greedy and rotten for even thinking about
it and wanting it....but I just don't understand why you'd say that
and then not follow through.

*sigh* and I could really use bus passes &/or extra $ right now, too.
