OMG, Historic Green is up by about 40 votes right now. This is killing me. Screw you, Homeowner’s Guide: 8 Simple Steps for Combating Climate Change with a Permaculture Garden in Boulder Colorado!

Part of my work day today was buying 1/2 off Valentine's Candy and other snacks for an employee recognition event tomorrow (I'm the committee chair). That killed an hour quite nicely.

TJ's butter chicken for lunch, nom nom nom.

I am also thinking about a garage sale this spring, and a cleaning of the basement.

Erin, I find that kicking things (while wearing appropo footgear) is therapeutic. I have also beat my couch -- hard! sternly! -- with a pillow whilst screaming FUCK YOU ALL MOTHERFUCKERS at the top of my lungs. And then I stomp everywhere in the house and mutter and glare, and after about a 1/2 hour of all this, I find myself ridiculous, and am balanced again.

ION, everyone's meditation style is different.

Today: Look ing at airline prices for Spring Break visit for the kiddo, looking at summer camp prices, going out for belated (due to -- what else? SNOW) dinner, and working on my class that starts Wednesday.

Am home. Lunch (left over Thai) is being applied as had some headache meds. Nap is next on the schedule.

Looks like CJ is flying out to CA for his Spring Break, courtesy of my dad. I had tried to get him to come out to CO during that time, but that didn't work out. CJ will be out there for Persian New Year and comes home the day before K-Bug's birthday.

Directly to the forehead?

Also, listening to the angry music of your choice can help. Suggestions: Tool, NIN, My Chem, etc.

Quiet in here today.

Historic Green is 100 votes up! A couple friends from lj just posted it and they have pretty big friendslists, so I'm hoping that helps.

DH just put in his 3 votes too.

I voted, smonster! You all were handily in the lead at the time.

I should not be wanting to go back to bed. A three-day weekend, and I've done almost nothing but sleep. I'm feeling better today, but I still want to sleep some more. I did accomplish one thing today - got a couple languishing bills paid and set up on automatic bill pay, and I went through a years' worth of spending on credit and debit cards and made a list of things I could change or get rid of to save money. Wanna know how it turned out? I'll save $1150 per year just by getting rid of monthly expenditures on things I don't need or want anymore (like, I don't need the eFax service anymore). I'll save $1302.72/year by dropping sattelite tv and not getting cable. And once I sell my old Chevy, my auto insurance will go down by $600/year. That's about $3050/year! I was shocked that I could save that much just by making some adjustments. And I don't have to give up my regular charitable contributions - heck, I can increase them now - nor do I have to deprive myself spend less at Amazon (because what's really important, right?). Man.

I had missed that you could vote three times so I just added two votes.

I went into the office and I was the only one there, and I was able to get four pages written today rather than my usual two.

I am so sick of this job search process. Of the eight schools that interviewed me, I know that two have hired someone else. I haven't heard anything from the rest. There are a ton of schools where I applied and the application deadline was back in November or December and, as far as I know, they have not interviewed anybody. What are they waiting for?

Maybe economics, Hil? Also, speaking from my two experiences on uni hiring committees -- they tend to operate at a GLACIAL pace.
