So

The other day, my company laid off 8% of our workforce... Today, they announced that our annual holiday party will be held in our large conference room / lunch room. And it's going to be on a Saturday, no less. Right... people are really going to show up for that.

Yeah, things are real chipper around here.

I've been giving myself exercises to boost my creativity at work. I'm not sure if they're working.

I'm designing random pieces, with no real method. Typically, I create it, love it, then hate it. Maybe what I really need is to not design anything for a long time. Starting out on the corporate world at 17 years old is a sure way to kill you on the inside before you've really lived.

What would I do if I won the lottery? Well, one thing would be to quit my job and attend a good culinary school in New York or some such place—work with chocolate and relax.

I feel like I'm suffocating here. I want to go away for a while. It sucks that I used up most of my vacation time so early in the year. I've learned my lesson. I can be as chipper as ever in the morning, then when I walk through these doors, I just want to go to sleep.

Biotech. Excitement.
