I am looking at an $800 paycheck this month.

Which is good, since I still have to pay for more grad school apps. The rest is going to pay for comics Dark Uncle wants me to read, bills, and the Ball-less Wonder's surgery. That's right. Percy got snipped. :D

It has been a weird day. I woke up strangely motivated and went and finally finished my clam paper stats. I was thrilled because now that was done, all I had to do was write my results and discussion and the paper would be complete. I head home, load up my flash drive...and cannot find the paper.

Cue nervous breakdown. I open every document on my flash drive, both computers, and my two back-up drives to make sure I didn't save it under another name. I am crying, I am hyperventilating. Visions of hours of time wasted dance through my head. I call Maddo and tell her I want to die. What does she do?

She calls her father, who has excellent advice. I do a full-text search of all the files on my computer and find a copy hanging out in my temp files. Instantly, I am thrilled. My brain, quite confused at this point, interprets this as "whee, now is the time in which we faint," and I have too go have a lie-down.

So. Here I am at work, with a finished paper in front of me. I have a headache, but I never have to look at clams again.

One more assignment, and I am finished with my incompletes.
