Nice, Sparky1! Enjoy the well deserved vacay.
Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

Guess it's time for Bring a Chainsaw to Work Day.
I want to have one of those days...though since I work from home...maybe not. Work rumors are that the last round of RIFs are this week - yesterday/today. I've heard about a few folks that I don't know, but this is supposed to be the biggest of all the cuts. Then on the 28th we find out where we are going to be sorted in the big reorganization that is happening. I may have a new supervisor, though my old supervisor would finish out this year and handle my annual review. I have LOVED having my supervisor be someone I know and who I can go in the office to talk with as needed.
I've been trying to keep a positive attitude about all the work changes - systems, organization, supervisor, work shifting to Poland, and all the lay offs. But it is so hard. While it seems I'll make it through the lay offs, people I worked with are no gone and their work has pretty much dropped into a black hole.
Sorry - whining - I have a job. Full stop. Be happy about that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Tomorrow I am packing and doing things like clean out the fridge before we go to Chile, whoo-hoo!
Ooh, have the best time!

Naw, you can still whine about your job! (I mean, right?)

I have been waking up at 3am every day for the last week. Like, up for the day at 3am. This means I am basically a toddler-style disaster by about dinnertime.
Casper, my very smart child, is currently rocking an F in math due to not doing homework, and a D in latin due to getting Ds on all her tests despite a weekly $40 an hour tutor. SIGH.

Oh, Casper. Really, it's easier to just do the work now. Sigh, indeed.
For this trip, we all had to go downtown to get K a new passport because we suddenly noticed she only had 5 months left on hers and six months is required to get on the plane. FTR, yes, you can get a whole new passport in 24 hours or less so long as you can get an appointment and your ass to one of the passport agency offices, of which, there are not many.
