Jager Joy!
I can't claim this week to be the best so far. For starters, my computer blew up somehow, and I assumed that if you marry somebody with a degree in computer hardware that has experience with computer software, they actually may have some value with computer blow-ups, but apparantly this is false. Way false. I fortunately have a computer on loan with my hard drive in it (it's all very confusing) so I can still do basic things, but I can't work on a couple projects that uses specific software on my computer - very bad timing.

There's also been some feelings of self-doubt and slight depression with the rather thankless and mostly moniless work I've been doing. Don't get me wrong, I get tremendous rewards out of teaching, both TKD and academically, but let's not live in this Candy Land where all that is just fun and rewarding. There's a lot of work and some depression that makes those rewards so great. I'm also struggling with my own feelings of stupidity, which is stupid in itself because I have academic and work accomplishments, but sometimes I considering having a good job the definition of intelligence or success. Yes, I know that's not always true, and I'm lucky to have choices, but that knowledge doesn't always take the emotion away.

So.... let's move to how this ...more difficult... week has moved into a havan of happiness and joy: my new Jagar machine :) There will be a high focus on Jagar bombs and shots this weekend. Hopefully this doesn't equate me with instantaneous lush, but seriously, how cool is it to have your own Jagar machine? The next gaming party's goin' rock ;)
