week from hell

it figures that my first official week from hell of 2006 has a friday the 13th in it. the capper was an email dispute in which i finally said fuck it and refunded that stupid editing client their deposit because i'm tired of the whole thing. at least i can write it off as a loss, so not all is lost (pun intended). lessons learned this week: ex-supervisor is still a bitch with too much time on her hands; don't park on alhambra between h and i streets in the morning rush hour; never take editing projects without seeing the actual doc to be edited. luckily, i also learned that there are still some good people out there (such as the guys who witnessed my car being hit); sally is a really, really good lawyer; removing stress is worth more than a couple hundred dollars.
