today is a creativity day. after a most productive brainstorming session last night (thanks Ford!) and increasing worries about my paper topic (due tomorrow), i've decided that my oh-so-stressful work situation at the moment needs to be put aside in favor of more productive pursuits.

in short, i called in sick, so i could write and research.

i feel a little guilty - like i'm dodging a bullet through cowardice (all week, i've been waiting for the sit-down talk with the manager - the "we're so disappointed in you" one, even though the situation is only about 10% my fault), but i've been stressing out about work and school, and i need to get something actually DONE.

and i swear, i won't touch WoW until i've made significant headway. right...

or i can spend the day watching in horror the developments at Dawson.
