Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I keep waking up before my alarm. Which I guess is a good thing overall, but I could have used that extra half-hour of sleep this morning! Ah well....

I have a lot of little things to get done this weekend, but I'm doing a volunteer project Saturday afternoon, and that's usually when I get everything done. Will I be motivated to get out of the house in the morning? Only time will tell!

Also, my DVR is totally full, so that's a whole nother agenda item!

Jesse, how's the new job?

I couldn't sleep. Am tired now.

So far, so good. They really are all about the slow ramp-up, which I guess is good. I finally have a project to work on, but it's small and not due for a month! But I'm starting to meet people and etc....

Oh, this is kind of funny: there was a job that I had applied for a while back because it sounded really interesting, but I wasn't necessarily qualified. I didn't hear anything until last week when they emailed me that they had hired someone else. I learned from the in-house newsletter yesterday that the person they hired came from my new org! A different department, though.

Funny. When I took my current job a few years ago, there was another person hired into the same role a couple of months later, and we figured out in conversation that she had actually interviewed for my old job in the interim. (Her instincts were a lot better than mine though, since she ran away screaming while I suffered through that lunatic place for three years.)

Observation: the cat has breakfasted on a huge mound of asparagus stems and is now passed out cold on the kitchen counter.

Analysis: cats is weird.

Fay, glad to hear you're okay. I was thinking about you when I heard the news this am.

Yikes, Fay! Stay safe. And electrified....

Heh.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I interviewed for a job in the publications office of the University and while I was interviewing, my interviewer received a call that was obviously about the job I was interviewing for.

The person on the phone got the job, but then I interviewed for and got her old job, which was my first job here.
