Not much happening (beyond everyday stress)

There's not much happening around here. Work is a bit stressful lately, with assignments dragging on far longer than I or my boss feel is reasonable. I've just had the most unbelievable string of bad luck - running into limitations with the programming tools I have at my disposal. It's nothing that a good training course couldn't fix, but what business has money to send people for training these days! It's so much easier for the boss to just lose his cool, fire you, and get someone else to take your place.

I'm normally not too concerned with my bosses' opinions, but since 1/5 of the staff has been let go since I moved back home, it's something that's on my mind.
