YOU ALWAYS HAD THE BLONDEST HAIR!
I've listened to Franz Ferdinand now - a few songs since nightkitchen breathlessly praised 'em, and I honestly don't see what the big deal is. Sorry...

There are a few internal job postings right now that I'm qualified for. Think I'll put in for them. One's part-time and decent money, the other's full-time and really good money. They're both kinda boring looking, though. Well, maybe not. One's in the geography department. I like geography. Maybe it could be interesting.
Nancy's in Paris, so things are calm, and a little bit slack at work. When she goes away, all the work seems to leave with her. I'm starting to think she makes the office more frantic than it needs to be. She's great, especially as bosses go, but she's terribly disorganized, for an archivist.
I'm also toying with the idea of talking to her when she gets back, and asking her about making archiving my career. I don't mind it, and I think there are some cool possibilities out there - music archives, media archives, even government archives would be pretty cool - and I have about two years of experience now, so why wouldn't I look into it, at least. I don't even think I'd need to do anymore learning. I don't think there's anyone else in the office who went beyond a BA, though she says it's mostly history majors who go into archiving. Still, that's doable. I figured out a while back that with the electives I took, I could do a history degree in two semesters.

I played the first tennis of the season yesterday. Felt good, but my forearm's kinda sore today. My asthma didn't really get in the way. In fact, it almost felt good to work out, to see what I can do. It's not like my body's changed that much from last year, I just have 'asthma' in my head, mostly. I got through last summer, playing plenty of tennis without an inhaler, so why shouldn't it be the same this year?
Speaking of working out, Elizabeth's got me thinking about taking out a membership at the Victoria Gym. I could see myself doing half-an-hour on the treadmill after work everyday. And maybe half-an-hour of muscle-building, too. I could get into that.

Nice to see kiyomisan yesterday, along with mishubaboolz and Ian. I'm also glad you've both taken, somewhat, to lj. Nice to have a couple of real-life friends on here...
