Okay, so, Change of plans. Looks like I won't be going to Yaoi-con this year. Finances and other things will not permit, unfortunately. 

The big news is that I start class today, for the first time in a while. I'm taking prerequisite courses to get into an accelerated nursing program. I've also quit my job at the drug research place, as of today, and am looking for something new, hopefully in the medical field (even if it's just reception or something). I'm at the library now, filling out electronic applications. I couldn't handle my crazy, unprofessional bosses and lack of training for what I was being asked to do. 

On a related note, anyone have any idea if you are legally obliged to report a company's highly fishy accounting practices and similar if you work there? I'm out, but the girl who does accounts is still there (though planning to leave), and she's starting to get a bit worried. It's partially thanks to her that I'm getting out now. She's uncovered all kinds of nasty things in their back files. The one that made me quit, though, was the fact they didn't pay their company health policy for several months last year, and everyone's coverage was canceled, but they didn't tell their employees. Since I was mostly there for the insurance anyway (which I would have been eligible for at the end of the month) it didn't seem worth it anymore.

God, Boss #1 was a shit, too. I'm not going to blab on, but really, the man's a shit.

Due to a pair of pleasant surprise I got in the mail this week, I may actually get to attend Y-con this year. I missed it last year, and was mostly expecting to miss it this year, entirely for financial reasons. But I got two letters this week, one from Sears and one from Dillards, (both of which I previously worked for), telling me they owe me money. Nearly three hundred from Dillards and more than four hundred from Sears (which was really weird, because I haven't worked for them since early 2005). I won't get those checks for 4-6 weeks, but knowing they're coming means I can actually spend a bit of my paycheck. I will also be paying off the last of my debt once I cash my check, this afternoon, so that's $200 more every two weeks that I can put away.

So, anyone want to split a room? I'd even be willing to pay for floor space (I have a single person air mattress that rolls up to carry-on size). Who else is going? Who isn't sure? Anyone want help with any panels or projects, now that I know I'm coming? I'm thinking I might make a Yaoi-con crossword puzzle - I've made a few small puzzles lately and I'm getting good at it, though I haven't tried doing a theme, yet. I'm still without a home computer, so no AMVs from me. (I hope to all that is holy I can manage to retrieve my half finished ones from my drive, when I finally do get a new computer.

On a completely unrelated but similarly fanish note: OMG 13 HOURS I'M NOT READY HURRY UP DAMN YOU I'M NOT READY AAAARRGHH! *flails*
