Losing my shit, essentially.

I started attending a broadcast school this year, and we've recently been doing some on-air, internet radio stuff. The past couple weeks have been especially stressful for me because I prefer solo work to group work, but I was coordinating a group interview with a non-profit. I haven't been getting enough sleep, either, and trying to compensate with caffeine has been a double-edged sword. That all culminated in a half-hour show on Thursday, which went off more or less without a hitch, but the prep work to make sure the show was up to snuff was pretty draining on me.

On top of that, I got a speeding ticket a couple weeks back, which was particularly bad for two reasons - I'm looking for work now that I've got a degree, and the speed I was going (80 in a 70) was going to massively screw me in the insurance department. Basically, they'd have jacked my rates up through several roofs, and I'd have been put in the same sort of category as people that are charged with DUIs and other actual crimes rather than just traffic violations. Fortunately, that got resolved yesterday. I got in touch with a lawyer that can get the charge lowered to something more sane, so there will be no insurance repercussions. I've got to pay more up front, but my parents offered to cover that for now and I'll pay them back once I'm working again.

So, things are a little better now, but I'm still physically and mentally exhausted.

Awkward shitty are bits of cheap-feeling plastic, refusing to evolve as everyone else did. Even if they did have the best D-Pad for fighting games. Also I think we can all agree on the best controller to date...

I enjoyed the 360 analog sticks for stealth gameplay. That's really the only area where I preferred an Xbox controller to a PS controller.

I know in NC, 15 over the limit is counted as reckless driving..and there was some law involving 70 and going above it, but I dont remember the specifics on it. Either way, glad it's being taken care of.

@Ross - From what I was able to determine, the law wasn't screwing me so much as insurance was (well, the law DID screw me, given that the trooper definitely rounded up on that figure, but that's neither here or there). If I'd been pulled over for doing 71 in a 70, that'd be enough to land me in that special insurance hell. Fortunately, the charge is being lowered to driving with defective equipment (i.e. faulty speedometer), so I don't have to worry about that. dragonheat wrote: well i've had a son called Jack Trevor 7lbs 7oz 23:18 on the 4th of march Congratulations, man!

Oh dear God, these next few days... So, I was supposed to pitch a show for class today, but I've been out sick for the last week and half and came back yesterday to have all this shit dumped in my lap; since I had to have confirmed interest from the subject of the show, I've got jackshit. On top of that, I have a mock sales proposal to make on Monday to a bona fide salesman that's easily worth millions, which counts for an exam grade. I almost threw up this morning from nerves. I have no idea how I'm gonna handle Monday without risking alcohol poisoning.
