Oh, ugh, WindSparrow. Yuck. Although, it got to like 32 degrees here in Kansas last night, which was just ridiculous. I didn't bring clothes (or a coat!) for that kind of weather!

And thanks for the sympathy. Gonna try to deal with it now, so I can go enjoy my family later. Yup. I got like 5 hours of sleep...which for most people is fine. It's about half of what I need to function. And I didn't get enough the night before either.

It's freezing here. I just had to turn the heat on, and my hands are still all stiff from taking the dog out. Bleh.

Jeez. Fox news is on, and I'm getting commentary from my SIL's mom. It's so fun!

vw, let me know if you need an alibi today.

(((WS))) I'm sorry about the white stuff so late in the season.

I love you guys.

Those wind turbines are extremely cool. And I am always pro-dome.

So, I just got almost all of the PowerPoint slides put together for our group presentation. There are MAJOR holes, thanks to the group leader disappearing, so I'm switching my focus to cover that.

I cannot wait until next week is over. I hope I make it through this without killing anyone.

Oh, bleah, vw. On all counts. Fox News (unless SIL's mom's commentary was nice and snarky?), not enough sleep, utterly assbrained group members. I'm so glad I never had to do a group anything in college; I don't think I've heard one collegiate Buffista talk about group projects as anything but Hell Is Other People.

I made it through my first day at the new job! There were a few awkward and tense moments because the person I'm replacing is still there, and it's general but unspoken knowledge that she was days away from getting fired when she resigned. Plus, she's really nice and sweet and generally well-liked (she's also very young, just out of college and still living with her mom, and doesn't have the experience to think independently and problem-solve while fighting a huge bureaucracy--she'll be fine in a few years, but just not yet).

But at least she's all excited about her post-quitting plans (travel Europe, hop to India, spend a few weeks in Bombay with her grandfather), and nobody seems to hold it against me personally, and the other admin who's close friends with her is a fan of Buffy and Stuff White People Like. And I had a rousing discussion with my new boss about the prospects for the A's this season and the fantastic news of Frank Thomas's return. He's got an assistant with whom he can talk baseball and Victorian literature; what else could he ask for?

Yay, JZ! That sounds good. I hope it is just a wonderful place for you.

This sounds way better than the last job ,JZ.

sending you survival ma, vw.

and to all the people that still have winterstuff.
