Happy Fourth of July, everybody! The holiday wherein there are lots of fireworks (I watched them explode over the Washington Monument, myself - pretty!) and I apologize for not posting so much lately. Sorry about that. :D ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a hectic day for me. A friend's mother passed away, I had the NPC new members' lunch, my office was all crazy because everyone's into March Madness, and then I went out with another friend to this Smithsonian club night thing at the Postal Museum. Whew ( Read more... )

Hey everyone! Thanks for those who sent me birthday wishes today (well technically yesterday now. The 3rd.) And thanks also to the anonymous person who sent me the V"owl"entine, if they are on here. It was very cute ( Read more... )

John has sent me another bit of his Very Cool Art - this time a sketch of Nightmare, from Dr. Strange - which really needs to be posted here because it’s deliciously eerie. So here it is. John is majorly talented (not that it needs to be said).

You know what I like the best about this day off? Is that my workplace is LOCKED, i.e. I couldn't go in and do my hours even if I wanted to! Therefore, I don't have to feel bad about not getting my overtime hours in yet. WHEE. (I've been working a lot of hours the last few weeks to get the permitted overtime in.

You guuuuyyys. I am COLD. I mean, I know, like, last week I was complaining about being HOT, but now they've switched to A/C and it's all rainy and I'm wearing fleece pants and a sweater. Which is just SILLY. And cold.

In conclusion, Kevin Kline: COLD.

I've had just about enough of this "let's see what else Emily can handle" nonsense ( Read more... )

You know, grateful as I am for this job, which keeps me out of the poorhouse and off the streets while I'm looking for Real Work, I can't help but look back with occasional fondness on the days when, yes, I was unemployed, but also got to get up later than 6:30 am and had enough TIME to do all the things I wanted/needed to do. Alas! For the good ( Read more... )
