Aw, Gud is such a great Dad!

Yay birthday cake, specially made!

Storm headed this way. Will probably hit just as I leave. Without and umbrella.

I shouldn't be surprised.

But! I did have a moment of blackhearted joy: tried calling coworker in the dark. First line rang and rang and rang. So I tried the other. Just as I was about to give up, he answers it, breatheless.

He'd barely heard the first line ringing and sprinted in the dark to answer it, only to get a dial tone. At which point, he hears the other line ringing at the farthest opposite of the house. Sprints and...it's me!

He was going to get his pound of flesh, but then he heard about my day. Heee.

Random question--has ita been seen round these parts since she reset the board a day and a half ago?

I realized suddenly that I am used to seeing rather more of her font, and scrolled back a bit, and did not see of her since then. But I am not everywhere.

I hope she is OK, she usually posts even from the ER!

How is it only Thursday? This week hasn't been bad really, but I swear it's gone on forever.

meara, I've been wondering, as well. And, of course, hoping right there with you!

(Also, how are you doing today? I hope that even if the circumstances haven't changed since yesterday, you at least manage to feel better, because you definitely deserve to!)

With me, it's the other way around - I can't believe the week is almost over. I had so little accomplished in it. And the days seem to intermingle among themselves, so I'm also on the "how Thursday?" train, but from the opposite end.

Movers called, and our stuff is being delivered tomorrow instead of Saturday. Yay. Though now we have to pack up all our stuff tonight, but still. My books! My computer! My DVDs!

billytea! If you lurk, thanks for the info.

I'm interested in personality, and family.

Also, dear god. I'm a Manic Pixie Dream Girl.

This explains so much.

Nilly, I am a fan of denial, personally. So until I get more information, I am pretty much pretending none of this has happened. We'll see--there's a teleconference tomorrow where I'll hear from some of the people at Big Giant Company who are affected more quickly than I am (They have to make a decision about a lay off package within the next month or so) so that should be interesting. Depending on what they all end up doing, it'll affect my workload a lot over the next couple months. Which'll affect how much I like my job, and how quickly I go "Eep, get me out of here" either to another part of my company or to a whole other place, etc etc.

But meanwhile, hoping nothing changes for a while. Ahem.

Yay STUFF, Dana! So much nicer to have your own stuff around you. Makes it feel like home...

Also good: am at LAX and got a two-hours-earlier flight, so shoudl get to Seattle at 7pm instead of 9pm. YAY.

meara, I am hoping for the best for the job situation.

Oh, and meara, sweetie, if we make you an honorary Cuban, I'd be happy to feed you as many tostones as your little heart desires. *g*
