Current Song: 'King Nothing' by Metallica.

It's finally gonna happen. Definitely. No excuses, no mishaps. I'm going to visit John on Wednesday, coming home on Thursday. So excited!

That being the best news of the day, let's move on to other good, but not as good stuff. I asked Mike for a raise today. He laughed at me. Considering how I allegedly screwed up last week with the parakeet thing, I suppose that's understandable. The conversation went a little something like this...

"Hey Mike. I know I recently screwed up, which might impact your decision on this, but... how 'bout a raise?"

*sidelong glance, followed by mad laughter*

"It's been seven months," I said, shrugging my shoulders.

"Has it really been that long?"

I nod. "Started in January."

"Wow. I try to give everyone raises every three or four months."

Yeah, bullshit. So, long story short, after all that, he said OK. No idea how much of a raise I'm getting, but at least it'll be something. Makes me happy.

And last but not least, Ralph, Devin, and I went down to the Burgh Bar tonight for wings, and though it was crowded, it was a lot of fun.

So... a good day today. I'm happy.
