I'm a headphones in, book to read, don't talk to me flyer. Shoot, even when I have to turn off all my electronic devices, I leave the headphones in. In the airport, on the other hand, I don't mind being social. Maybe cause I can walk away if need be.

NILLYNEWBORN!!!

I have over 30 hours on my timesheet and it isn't even mid-day Wednesday yet. I'm hoping (really hoping) I can take Friday off. I'm still helping to cover for one of my PMs who is out on berevement. He is due back tomorrow.

Nillybaby!! Can't wait to see pictures!

I'm discovering that I really am more extroverted than I think. Meeting new people is genuinely fun and interesting for me. I mean, not always -- I have to be in the right mood; they have to not be jerks -- but generally it's a good thing for me. I was telling M the other day that I feel bad that I have several social things to go to on a regular basis and he doesn't have any, and he was all, "Uh, that's because I don't need or really want them, and you do!" Oh yeah.

I'm pretty sure I can't afford the neurostimulator. It's still being remarkably difficult to find the cost of the procedure, but 20% is a pretty big percentage, and there are two procedures and we're definitely looking at five figures.

Well, at least I know.

Husband has a start date in Houston. Amen.

Yay Nillybaby!

Yay Houston!

Boo healthcare. How's it going with the home nurse?

My coworker just gave a multimedia debrief on her vacation. Heh.

Baby is adorable. Unsurprisingly.

YAY Houston!! Can you share the date yet?

I have reached the hurry up and wait portion of my work day. I sent out a bunch of questions and NO ONE is answering me. Come on people!!!

Yay, Dana!

ita, is that five figures out of your pocket or total? Not that it makes a big difference, I know.

NillyBaby! With the tiny fist! Oh, my ovaries.

Yay Houston! Boo costly medical.

Got preliminary word on new project...they're still trying to find someone in the Midwest, so at the moment I have sites in Wichita, Ames, Jefferson City, Sioux city, and Green Bay. And north dakota. Srsly? Hoping they find that Midwest person after not too long. Or that I could take a huge Midwest road trip. That would be kinda cool. A bit jealous of the person who has all of Canada (but is in the states!). And someone else has anchorage, which I might fight for later...but in good news, Portland and Spokane and ....Vallejo?

I think what ita is saying is even with 80% of the costs paid, 20% of 5 figures is a lot of $$. I agree with this.

Congratulations Dana. So, are you packing the house? I am still not unpacked over here (home or office) so I'm dreading those steps on your behalf.
