bad news for people who like bad news

Bah! Just when I'm wallowing in the crapitude of my job, daydreaming about leaving, my boss goes around and gives everyone a ridiculously generous annual raise. It's a nice surprise, but it doesn't change much except the level of guilt I'm experiencing — the nature of this project is such that for quite a while now I haven't been able to do my job as well as I would like. If I had to fill out a quarterly accomplishments form right now, "not jumping in front of the Metro" would be right at the top of the list. It doesn't really feel like I should be rewarded for that.
In other news, Catherine got home safe & sound, so everything is pretty great.

Life's like that, sometimes. You get just enough from work that it keeps you from stepping off the platform before the yellow line pulls into the station. It's infuriating, yet subtly gratifying.
Of course, it looks like there will be paltry Xmas bonuses here, not the good ones we used to get, on top with being forced to take vacation days over the week between christmas and new years as a cost saving measure. sigh. I really need to up and quit now.
