Also made arrangements to buy a $200 tablesaw used, for $60. Productive!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Another vote for Barcelona. If you have time and can get there, it might be worthwhile to check out the Poble Espanyol. It features architecture from all over Spain, along with crafts and art galleries and such like. I picked up some local artwork when I was there.

I didn't tend to watch the SotU when Obama gave it, and I liked listening to him. Last night I watched a bunch of Antique Roadshow episodes.

Our wings are not tired.
Yawn, went outside to do some moon gazing, although I could see it from inside. Moonset here was 7:05 so only saw a little bit of eclipse. Still, beautiful setting full moon.
eta: I have been watching the live feed from the Griffith and the CA people have a lovely view.

Can confirm. I had a pretty great look at it about an hour ago.

The status is NOT quo.
Barcelona is my favorite city in the whole world. One more vote from me!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
This meeting is so boooooring. I want a cookie.
Or oatmeal, but I was too lazy to make breakfast before it started.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I had already had conversations with four people about four wildly different topics before 9:30 this morning. Now I feel like the day should just about be over. And yet?
I'm also annoyed because the person who moved from my team to one organizational level higher won't give me her opinion on something that would have been her job two weeks ago! She is being very strict about just speaking from her current role.

That's a weird thing to be uptight about.
Got my offer letter, woohoo! HR sent it after I left yesterday - start day for pay is 2/16 although I won't actually move back and change what I do until 3/1. Life insurance goes back up. Salary goes back to what it was. Performance review will be in May, which seems crazy to me, but I suppose that's how it goes. The organizational structure of the department has changed a little, so that will be an adjustment, but I don't think I care about that very much.
Which is all too the good and it will be nice to have my short commute back. I think I am going to start preparing in earnest to look for something else, though. I'll stick it out to get my 5-year jacket, but I am ready to move on. Do something more meaningful, maybe.
I did not get up to look at the lunar eclipse this time. Pretty moon though.
