Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There's going to be a lot of cursing before this year is over, I can tell.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Even more than in the past few weeks?
We have a new person who's above me - and possibly above my boss - in the office hierarchy. She's about to kill me - complicated projects dumped on me at the last minute, refuses to acknowledge when I tell her that a schedule won't work. Most recently, she's been submitting articles to be included in our weekly e-newsletter (it's a compilation of news articles - which we try to make as recent as possible - that I'm responsible for). I've told everyone repeatedly that the company that sends it out for us closed down last Friday and won't reopen until January 3; the intervening issues have been prepared and queued up to go out on schedule. But nope - she keeps coming up with "news" that will be ... olds? ... by the time the next issue comes out.
To make life complete, I'm losing a vacation day because I have to come in to send out a mass email next Friday. It's too long to schedule in advance (at least, not reliably) and she's going to want to make changes up until the last minute. grrrr ....
In better news, I saw a nice doctor Tuesday. Since August, I've lost 18 pounds (my pants are slipping off my hips!) and my A1C is 6.2. For which I am heartily grateful.

Indeed. I was very pleased, since back in August it was, I believe, over 9. Before that it was hovering in the low 7s.

Toddson - congrats on the health numbers! Fantastic!
And I must NOT say @)$^&)!$&# again to my contract manager who continues to make one change at a time instead of seeing this @#()$*&@_#$ through so we could just be DONE with this issue. I have taken to BCC'ing the related project manager and he agrees this is CRAP but none of us can do a darned thing about it. W(*$^@#$_%$()&*#@*(^@R%#*($&@_#

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
We watched The Long Kiss Goodnight night before last. Best Christmas movie EVAR. 'course, my favorite Halloween movie is Chocolat--I'm troubled by the Depp, now, though, sadly--so regard my holiday associated movie recs accordingly.

I'm being eaten from the bottom.
But I've just finished the work I had to get done. I mean OTHER than the thing I need to do if she can ever get the PO set correctly. But I'm going to do my timesheet, log off, and then...I don't even know. Maybe wrap the rest of the presents I need to wrap. Maybe a nap. Maybe go to the rec center. Or maybe just put in a dumb movie and veg out.
