Three hours of overtime later....I'm stuck. I need some data that is in the office to continue, so it will have to sit. Oh, well. I got it part of the way fixed.
Funny thing - a bunch of the players (the project managers, my contract manager, my program manager, and my supervisor) were also online tonight, so lots of heated e-mails about whose fault, who should have caught the problem that was valued at $100k when all was said and done... Me, I'm smelling like a rose for jumping in and getting it fixed.
I skipped a grade in elementary school. Fourth, after a year of spending part of my day with a fourth grade class to learn long division (and part of the day on a bus to a part-time gifted program at another school, but that is a whole different thing). Since my birthday is in February I went from being one of the older kids in my grade to being just a little younger than the rest. Can't say I ever noticed it causing me problems.
DH and I had instant chemistry, but it was the daily spending time together doing things like shopping for groceries and hitting the laundromat that really cemented our relationship.
My new house has heat and hot water as of today, too! It's very exciting. Kitchen is painted, living room is painted, hallway is painted, bedroom is painted. I have one coat done in the office, and the paint bought for the bathroom. I still have to figure out exactly what colour I'm putting in the dressing/sewing/guest room. Some sort of blue, I think.
{{Erin}} travel safe and have a fabulous time in NYC.
I kind of skipped a grade. I could read in kindergarten (normal nowdays, but back then was a big deal), so ended up going to kindergarten in the morning and first grade in the afternoon. When we moved to a new school, mom just put me in second grade. I 've adjusted fine. I'm not sure if it was due to how young I was, or the fact that I moved schools a lot, so there weren't the attendant social issues. Or maybe just my incredible maturity.
They considered skipping me a grade, since I was definitely ready academically (except for my spelling, but really, that hasn't gotten much better over the years), and I was one of the oldest in the class anyway. My mom discussed it with the school. They decided not to, because they thought it was better socially for kids to be with their age group, and because they thought that I'd get teased in a higher grade because I was so small.
Should I call today to ask her out, or wait until tomorrow? I don't know the rules.
Ooh. It's too late now, but I think you should've done it today--or at least emailed today (if you know she checks it a lot). Because tomorrow is kinda late to be askign someone out for Saturday night (not to be all Rules-y about it, just, she may have plans).
I still haven't emailed my chemistry-lacking date from Monday. Can't decide what to say. Haven't gotten a picture from the one who is highly entertaining in email. And another one who emailedcute revealed the existence of a "spouse" in the most recent one. OY. Also, I've got like, seven people who i've at some point emailed or whatever, so I'm completely losing track of who is who. Doh.
I quite enjoyed Erin McKeown the one time I saw her, and like a few of her older songs, but haven't heard any of her newer stuff.
Go Fay! Your OKCupid profile kicks ass, and I'm sorry about the French girl. :(
Almost all of my relationships (including my current one, which seems to have some staying power) started out as friendship.
Hmm. I have never had that happen. Guess I'm the opposite of Steph! If there's no chemistry to start with (ie, after we've chatted and hopefully flirted a bit), I'm not likely at all to ever be into you. But then, my standards for chemistry aren't very high...
OK, and I'm not saying all those chemistry people ended up GOOD plans, but...some of them did! Sort of. Um. Says the single girl who just moved cross country...
we were living in different towns in England that year and didn't have regular internet access, so these were actual handwritten letters--I have them all stored safely away in a box
Which is SO COOL for your grandkids and descendants someday!
EW! So sorry about the mousetrap, Gris! (Though, at least it caught something?).
meara, insent - at least I think so... (and gracias)
I'ma going to go take a couple advil and a few Tums too. It seems that DH's aunt, who has had cancer for 6 years and battled it amazingly, has taken a turn for the worse and is in hospice.
ETA. I swear to god I'm a real person. not making this shit up.
Suzi, insent.
I got my new phone. The Motorola Q is very shiny.
The kids fell asleep on me on the couch so I just laid there for a while under the puppy pile, watching UFC with Christopher while the kids snoozed away.
They are all in bed now, though.
I'm at the Dali exhibit at LACMA. It's some of the most exquisitely beautiful art I've ever seen. I feel on the verge of tears. But that may just be because of how tired I am. The art is still beautiful, though.
t wanders into thread; looks around for someone to snuggle
I need Buffista cuddling. Best kind there is.
