Sparky - those are fantastic.

I'm in the office. Got moved to a new cube in my absence. I believe the idea is that I'll be sharing the cube with someone else who rarely comes into the office. But for now it is just me. Do I spread my stuff all over or try to contain myself to just a portion of the space. The cube is bigger than my old cube. Shoot, it is bigger than my boss's cube.

And still no movement on getting me a work laptop that WORKS. Grrrr. Arrrrgggg.

If you're allegedly sharing, then spread out to half the space, or slightly more.

Also entertained by sparky's neighbors. Hah!

I am still in Canada. Had a good time at the soccer football game last night. Now my friend is waiting to do a job interview (annoyingly they would only do it today, and not tomorrow, when she will be in the states and no longer on vacation). We plan to hit a museum and then head back home. Sad. Don't want vacation to be over and am already freaking out about the number of emails that are surely in my inbox.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Can you spread out while you are there and condense when you go home, Suzi?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, I just had the most annoying meeting about our upcoming new space configuration. I have literally no additional information than I had before. I asked one question twice before giving up on ever getting an answer. (Question being, when will I be moving?) So that was a good use of an hour.

I have shifted my things around so they are on one side of the U shaped desk and am only using half the file space. I'm never here, so most of what I have in the office is supplies, files I can't trash, and a few personal items.

I'm getting a different loaner. Also found out they just ordered the new motherboard yesterday. My computer drank the tea over 2 weeks ago and they just ordered it yesterday. Oy!!! I have work to do people.

My meeting today was cancelled, and not even by me! I feel all virtuous and shit.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

We got tons of weather growing up -- serious thunder and lightning, blizzards, tornadoes, floods -- growing up, so I while I have a healthy respect for weather, I'm not afraid of it. I LOVE a crazy storm, and would stand on the over hang of the deck, dripping wet, watching.

My mom always got nervous during a storm and a tornado warning, but we never got an actual tornado (thank god -- those things are fucking deadly -- closest I've ever been was a microburst that hit the Plaza about 1/8 of a while away from school when I was in grad school, stuck in the English TA's office watching the weather BOIL outside -- it pushed two cars into Brush Creek on the Plaza.)

And let's see -- we lost our cherry tree to lightning, our TV and a couple of phones another time, and a third time, the electrical system of our car was fried by a nearby strike. And in college, a bolt hit a nearby transformer and the explosion was INSANE -- the power in half the town went out, and (rural MO) half the girls in my dorm were seriously convinced The Rapture was nigh.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Every time the weather sneezed, the transformer on the corner of our street went out and left us without power for hours. They finally put in a new one after four or five years of increasingly abusive "Snow, sleet, ice storm, thunderstorm, I think a fricken breeze went by" calls.

The usual summer afternoon thunderstorms got worse over the years, until we were getting near-microburst winds right over our house. It hopped the two-seater swing over the front railing and onto the ground below at least twice before we decided to leave the swing in the yard. And it pulled the patio umbrella out of the weight and left it in the top of the cherry tree a couple of times.

It took people fricken eons to realize that all the tornados NC never used to have were following I-40 between Kernersville and Greensboro. Something about all that paving in an uninterrupted path.

My meeting today was cancelled, and not even by me!

None of my meetings have been cancelled, but I got called out on a thing this morning and was able to say that I didn't have an update because nobody actually had told me about the problem. I have been procrastinating hard on plenty of other stuff, but not THAT thing, ha HA!
