i'm so bored! this week at work has been dragging. and it's not like i have something to look forward to, because i don't. next week work will pick up again since full proposals for the fall slate will be coming in on tuesday, but this week it's just dull and dead. today and tomorrow are the summer board meeting, in reno, but because my foundation is so damn cheap, no one in my office was even invited. actually, i think maybe rebecca was, but i don't think she's being put up in a hotel or anything. big suck.

i get to take care of my landlady's cat, rats, and lizards for the next month or so while she's on vacation in tahoe and yosemite. must be nice... she works as an adviser to medical students at ucsf, so she gets like four weeks of vacation a year (and it accrues, so she ended up with something like seven weeks off this year). i need to go work for a university. or maybe i just need to suck it up and get a graduate degree and be able to get a better job... because you know everyone wants someone with a damn master's degree these days. what if i don't want to go to school anymore?!! *sigh* my coworker corey is going to england to do a master's degree in august, and rebecca is going to start law school in the spring (although i think she's going to golden gate so she'll work and go to school at the same time). i'm hoping not to be here still by then, but i keep running up against the master's degree requirement in jobs that i'm pretty confident i could do. the sad part is that i think i'll have a tough time getting into a master's program because i slacked on my grades in college. not to say i'm not smart enough to succeed in a master's program, but is anyone going to accept me? :(
