How can the usual formation vary?
Yet another weekend has somehow managed to slip through my fingers.
Saturday was spent chiseling grout away from tile for a good couple of hours before realizing that it was completely pointless to rip down the tile myself since the paper over the wallboard was coming with it. I was ready to just get a saw out and cut the wall away, but Dad decided he'd rather just pay the cabinet installers to do it. So I moved onto priming and painting the kitchen, which actually went by pretty quickly. Mom was sick through all of this and when I finished taking a shower, I realized I felt a bit off too. I spent most of the night sweating out a fever between deep naps and fighting off the urge to lose what little I had eaten.
Today, I woke up extremely late and pretty much just laid on the couch and watched Make Me a Supermodel, New Amsterdam and Torchwood (Season One) because doing much else didn't seem like much of an option. New Amsterdam is really great, actually, but why does it have to be on Monday night?! Everything else I watch is on that night. Argh. I only started watching Torchwood because so many of you have mentioned it in entries and then EW was all over it. So far, I've only seen the first two episodes of the first season, but I like them. And usually I hate British television.
When my dad came home, there were more naps and fevers and I think Paper Moon was on. Somehow, I willed myself to make mashed potatoes for dinner and then come down here. I'm debating calling off sick for work tomorrow, but so much is going on that I really don't feel that it's an option.
Speaking of work, I talked to E (co-worker on the same team as me) on Friday when we went out to lunch and she feels like I do: we're not getting paid enough and we're not recognized for what we do. I told her about the opening on the other team and she told me to go for it. Although she's like me with the guilt and whatnot, so she said she could never do it herself. She got me thinking about how if I got a government job, I would probably be paid a lot more. I don't know, I might start looking to see what's out there. E really thinks I should wait until I get my yearly review next month to see how it goes before I do anything though. She's probably right in that respect.
Only three days of actual work this week, and then SAS training Thursday, Friday, Monday and Tuesday. Grand.
PS-ebcdic=blissblar. I renamed.
PPS-paragraph=this_place. I renamed the writing journal too.
