Stardate: Tuesday, March 12, 2002

You know, I don't believe this. Already, it's Tuesday and already I am tired. I find that I am not recovering well from the previous week. In point of fact, I believe that I am just in dire need of a vacation. Unfortunately, I am not ready for it. I still feel like I haven't been here long enough and am still too far down on the Totem Pole to deserve a vacation.

Of course the fact that I am one month away from my one-year review doesn't help to make me feel better. I mean, it's now more important than ever to prove myself worthy of being here. The fact of the matter is that I have spent 11 months trying to prove myself and I have worked too hard to screw it up now.

Unfortunately, other elements may be conspiring against me. A few moths ago, I ordered something, and it finally came on Friday. That's the good news. The bad news is that it is broken and needs to be sent back. Due to it's size, I will probably have to take a day off in order to ensure that this is handled properly, and I will probably have to take another day off in order to make sure I get it back without any problems.

What is this mysterious object, you ask? It's a 33-inch clone of the original filming model of the U.S.S. Enterprise from Star Trek: The Original Series. I bought it from these guys at UNOBTAINIUM Ltd. It is sooo cool. It is perfect in every detail and has these cool flashing and rotating lights and is just the coolest thing I have ever had the pleasure of owning. Unfortunately, it was damaged in shipping. The good news, however, is that the people there are so nice and are willing to replace it and help me get this taken care of. Thank goodness there are still good people in the world.

Before anyone jumps to any conclusions and thinks me a chump for purchasing this thing, let me just come out and say that I had to do a lot of thinking before I commited myself to this thing. I mean, it may be a lot of money, but given the amount of hard work, detail and care that went into it, when would I ever get a chance to own anything like this again? I mean, it's so well done, that my mother (who really doesn't care for this sort of thing) wants me to put it in the living room! It's THAT beautiful. It is like a museum piece. And until I become filthy rich, I would never be able to afford anything even remotely like it again. So to those who would sneer, I give a giant RASPBERRY!
