Don't go into depression and self-loathing, trust me the further you go the more it sucks and is no fun. You must build a wall of sarcasm and dirty humor between you and it to keep it away!
Oh don't worry. I already try to do that on a daily basis as well. ^.^; Just never sure when that wall is gonna weaken to the point of breaking and needing repairs. :D
I got my brother a bumper sticker that says "My other car is a chocobo."
It's awesome because he's gonna love it to death but it only cost like $3
I'd probably get the largest, nerdiest, most childish smile ever if I got something like that. XP
