Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What's more pajama style that that, that is not just pajamas?

Wow. I just found out my company has decided to make a concerted effort to upgrade the Legacy systems (my area) to current technologies since we're the money-maker for the company. We've been in maintenance mode for the last five years or so.

This is a big deal. I am at ground zero for one of the biggest projects we've done here, and if nothing else will get some training that will acutally lead to more hands on work (most of the time I get training for stuff that I then end up never doing anything with).

First phase is just discovery so we'll see what comes out of this, but I'm kinda excited (and a little scared in that "change can be scary" way).

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That's a higher bar to me.

heh. I can see that. I wore a suit to do the interviews for work as I felt I should be dressed as well as the candidates. I never wear a suit to teach.

I am wearing leggings in the office right now, AIFG! (Under a dress! not as pants!)

Change is definitely scary, Frankenbuddha! I hope it's good in the end.

I'm still in the yoga pants I put on to walk the dog this morning! Complete with dog hair!

It's definitely a good way to start off 2014. Granted, all the shit that happened in 2013 had nothing to do with work; work's been great through all this (though it is definitely taking too fucking long to get acclimated to my new commute and managing my truncated off time).

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

Well crappity. I finally talked to the scheduling gal and she wasn't able to work on any scheduling yesterday and apparently I'm on the bottom of her pile. She was kinda snippy which made me feel horrible for calling but she had said I'd hear from her yesterday.

So now I have to wait all weekend and I'm not sure if they are open or closed on Monday, so it will be Tuesday at the earliest. I do not do patience well.

Suzi, I can't remember. What are you trying to schedule?
