I had a mostly good day. I chatted. I shaved my head and showered. I read more of my Xanth book, and was actually enjoying it. It's a really short book, yet it's taking me a long time to read it. Xanth books are hard for me to read; they don't come naturally to me. I have to push myself to read them; even the volumes I've enjoyed. Don't know why that is. But I've got nearly all 30 some books in the series and I'm gonna read them damn it!

Mark's having some troubles at work. He's been unhappy there for some time. His problems are almost all beyond his control. He's been with this company for over 6 years; and was part of the first iteration, when they were just working out of this guy's basement. They've moved up in the world since then, but Mark's been underpaid per industry standard for all those years. He was promised a raise in October which never materialized, but even if he'd gotten it, he'd be underpaid. He's constantly working for these people, even when he's home. Even when he's home sick. It's nearly impossible for Mark to relax. Mark is stressed out and understandably so. I wish there was more I could do for him...only there isn't...so I get stressed and things just get worse. It sucks.
