Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Show your work" made me crazy when I was little. I think I'm just lucky I realized that getting through school was about doing what they wanted.

Annoying: I got a call from a headhunter earlier, and she said she was sending me an email with more information. I have not gotten the email! When I called back, I got her voicemail and left my email again, and still nothing. I might be interested!

May I just say summer hours BLOW? I know these long hours will pay off in extra comp time, but HOLY GOD I AM AT WORK FOR SO MUCH TIME.

And truthfully, working 9-hour days does not result in more productivity. I run out of actual work after about 5 hours whether I'm here 9-5 or 9-6. It's just an extra hour of fucking-around-online time, which I could just as easily be doing at home!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We just had Panda Express for our weekly free lunch. It's terribly and greasy and salty and I LOVE IT. Plus we had fancy cake for dessert as the owner is moving to the Chicago office.

Art Crawl!!!

Yeah, we start summer hours on Monday. Having Fridays off is nice but having to be at work for another hour is no fun. (And having to take a bit of vacation daily because 1. buses don't run early enough to get me to work by 7:30 and b. I'm not sure I run early enough to be useful by 7:30.)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Oh shoot. Timesheet. Gotta get that done. KCD got me so freaking frazzled. Grrrrrr.

Since Lee hasn't asked - what are folks doing this weekend?

I'm babysitting tomorrow morning then working in the afternoon. Sunday, I'm meeting a friend for brunch at a place with an AMAZING Bloody Mary buffet and then going to a chalk art festival in downtown. And maybe a henna party if I'm not too tuckered. Oh, and more work where I can fit it in. Wheee?

Emmett's prom! I've got to shuttle him all over beforehand on Saturday. Then collect him on Sunday.

I don't mind the days I work 7:30-4:30 because even though I'm at the office the same length of time, leaving at 4:30 helps to mitigate the feeling that I've been at work FOREVER. But these 9:30-6:30 days are brutal.

My CSA starts tomorrow, so I'm picking that up in the morning. Then Dylan's swim class. Sunday my sister is having a graduation party in the park, so I'm going to make some cheddar olives (BEST SNACK EVER) and hang out with her grad school buddies feeling old for a while.
