*squish* I really hope you find a new job soon! I know things are looking rough out there... I hope you had a good birthday!

Also, in regards to the HTML god thing, I use (when I'm at home), semagic, which is a program you download and it signs into LJ for you, and you can sync it with LJ so that you're new tags and userpics are available, and you can switch between users easily (like for me, I need to post as aki_hoshi and ass_fest_mod), and it's all HTML view. I mean, I think you can switch it, but if you type CTRL+i, it'll automatically insert an italics tag for you to type in. :D It also allows you to do things like change the displayed username. Like, when [livejournal.com profile] aldehyde talks about her boyfriend, Abbey, she always has a tag that says "the_bf", but that's not his username (I don't remember what it is). But you can change what name is displayed while still having it linked to that user.

And I'd avoid using things like Word for HTML stuff like the plague...because Word likes to add in it's own meta data, and it's all useless. When I'm not at home, I just use Notepad, and yes, I've got to type in the tags, but it means I have COMPLETE control over my code, because it's a basic text editor that doesn't even have the capabilities to make things bold or italic looking. :)

Anyhow, I'd TOTALLY check out semagic. Aldehyde and I swear by it. :D It's a pretty sophisticated tool, even if it's not all that pretty.

Okay, going now! *SQUISH* I love you! I'm sending well wishes to you always!
