Just humor me, ok?

1. I'm sick.  Again.  Bleah.  A cold, which kicked in Saturday night and now I'm keeping tissues nearby.  Again.  Yes, I would like cheese with this whine.
2. Good news.  There's still sunlight at 6:15pm!  Yay!
3. Bad news.  DST kicks in March 8, so much of what we gain in the evening gets lost again.
4. Good news -- January, the longest pay period of the year, is over.
5. Bad news -- I'm pretty much broke from paying the bills.  Again.
6. Good news.  I'm still employed (and these days, that's no laughing matter).
7. Bad news.  A memo from the president of the university system came out today proposing 1-starting to pay into the retirement plan (so a pay cut will happen) and 2-no merit increases for FY10 (so as inflation and COLA continues to rise, it's effectively another pay cut).
8. Good news.  I'm still employed.
9. Bad news.  There's a matter at work that's driving me crazy.  I don't think there's anything I can do about it.  Well, there is, but I would like to stay employed and continue to pay my bills.
10. Good news.  I'm going to my professional organization's conference soon (unless travel really gets chopped in the next 2 weeks), and I'm mostly looking forward to it.
11. Bad news.  See no. 5.
