Anxiety
One week to closing, and signing my name to a fifth of a million dollars in debt.

My chemistry for the first delivery of the project at work I've been working on since Thanksgiving happens next week.  I joked at the group meeting today that you could subtitle the project "how to spend half a year of your life putting two hydrogen atoms on a molecule".  And it's just been one crisis after another for the past couple weeks.  I can't even make firm moving plans until I know how said chemistry turns out.

My landlord, who swore up and down he'd work with me and be flexible on the move-out decided that he was going to be an asshole, and is expecting me to pay for an entire month's rent that I'm not going to be there for, despite the fact that I gave him notice half a month early.  Half a month's rent would be reasonable.  None would be generous.  I hope that this building sinks into the ground and is buried in rotting shit once we're out of here.

I got an electric bill for over $600 today.  That's ten times my usual consumption!  It's like accidentally leaving three space heaters running continuously for the past month, and I think I'd notice 3 kW of waste heat.  They're going to have someone check the meter soon.

The camera that I ordered sixteen weeks ago still isn't here.  I told the company they were a bunch of incompetent assholes and canceled my order.  I'll burn the money at one of the big retailers sometime after closing.

I could use a drink.  A gallon of drink.
