On the news today, it said that the illinois state budget should be resolved by the weekend. Why the f*ck couldn't they have waitied till NEXT weekend? Then they probably would've pushed the date to September first for me. Now it looks like I WILL have to start on the 1st or maybe 7th or something like that. My plans for a special trip with Betty are basically shot. Nothing goes right for me when it comes to the luck of the draw. I'm not 100% sure that it being resolved this weekend will set in stone anything, but i'm almost sure it won't be what I hoped for. Oh well, what can you do?
