Your life will surely change

This is the day that I begin Project One Day, where I actually measure how much unsolicited bulk email I receive in a 24 hour period. A single day sample is not scientifically approved, but I'm not submitting to a peer-reviewed journal. (I'm just going to alter the data to fit the conclusion I want to arrive at and then post it on the FCC's website.)
This is the day that I try to make rice in the crock pot. It has lots of pepper spices and Italian turkey sausage in it so I don't know if I'll actually be able to eat it when I'm done, either due to mis-ricing or over-spicing.
This is the day I go in and talk to my UberBoos about trying to improve my attitude toward work.
This is the longest day of the year--a day for accomplishing things, a day of adventure and whatnot. And this is my ritual.

The sun burns into your eyes

My star sign claims that, with my ruling planet in Taurus, I should prepare for a fiscally productive year and perhaps relocation. I'm willing to roll with that if indeed I start making money hand over fist, but I admit to being dubious.
Project One Day is so far the most successful of the three. Although my spam levels are lower than I've seen them in months, so it certainly won't be an accurate reflection of my UCE.
The rice wasn't ready, even after two hours on high (website recommended one to one and a half) and so it'll sit all day on low until I can get home and turn it off and then we'll see how that turned out.
My conference with my supervisor is postponed because she was off site in an all day meeting.
I feel like I had a Diet Coke--that unfocused anxiety. But there is no caffeine in my system.
Not an auspicious beginning.
If I fail Solstice, do I have to do the entire season over again?

Ain't no cure
