Well, the surgery went beautifully. They just scoped it and cleaned out a bunch of junk. It felt much better for awhile, but after a few months, it started to ache again. I'm sure it'll ache most of the time until I eventually get a knee replacement, but it isn't impossible to deal with. The only difficulty is after about 5-6 hours of being on my feet at work, I kind of hit a wall. My knee says, 'Ok, enough already!'. The docs aren't about to give me anything stronger than an anti-inflammatory, so I just have to learn to suck it up.

It's been an up and down year at work, anyway. It's very hard to work when you don't get along with one of your co-workers. It came up last year too and I made a bit of an issue of it. So this year she has been sickeningly sweet to me, but I know she still hate me and will stab me in the back if she gets a chance. Earlier in the year she transferred to anothe unit. Everyone was so glad to see her gone, but then she hated it and came back. At this point, I think my only recourse it to finish my studies and get the heck out of dodge. I'm still a year from being close to finishing, but at least it is down the road.

I can only hope that 2006 is a better year for me, as 2005 really was not anything to brag about. I feel lacking in direction. Like I have no goals or am not making any progress toward anything. Something needs to light a fire under my behind.
