so this is the new year...

'so this is the new year... i don't feel any different'

but this year i do. i no longer work for the devils who can't afford (or appreciate) prada. i swear my bloodpressure dropped a good 30 or 40 points after i left monday. i was told i was being fired for the same issues i've been trying to discuss with my boss for six months. i'm going to miss the paycheck but i'm so glad i don't have to go in anymore. a few mornings ago i woke up and he asked what time i had to get up. for the first time in a few years, i didn't have to go anywhere. i went back to sleep and didn't get out of bed til noon. i sleep a lot better now. i eat a lot better now. i just feel better. i should've listened to everyone who was saying i was working too much. i've missed out on a lot. i love research but it wasn't worth doing something i love if the people i have to work with will go to extremes to give me an ulcer.
