Even though I only worked the usual 8 - 8 1/2 hours today, it still felt like 11. I think I’m getting tired of the whole print shop thing. Yeah it’s fun sometimes, like when you have a slow day and everyone’s happy — but then five o’clock rolls around and you realize that tomorrow will be hell and you end up doing overtime. It’s like this never ending cycle and I don’t know how people get used to it. I just hate being tired all the time and going through the same motions (printing, binding, finishing) over and over again. And AOL’s badging office is a joke — I keep hearing about more and more temps and employees who’ve been there for months and are still in my boat. I guess AOL is a cool place to be … just not when you’re at the end of the food chain (aka IKON). Good thing I get a couple hours off tomorrow for my doctor appt.

I got the last of my birthday presents today! Here’s what I got from Brian’s mom:

• Gap gift certificate
• chocolate dollar bills
• duck Pez
• duck soap
• duck bath mitt
• duck bubble blower

The present-opening process was definitely fun … yay for duckies
