I'm still here. ^_^ The past week has been kind of crazy-- I'm settling into my new job, but it's very much a learn-as-you-go position. I had zero knowledge of SQL when I started and, through trial by fire, I've managed to pick up a great many of the basics, but it still feels a bit like that first week waaaay back in Japanese 101. I have ( Read more... )

Hey! *waves* That's right, Meredith still lives, and breathes, and walks the earth. (Sometimes she feels a bit like her old self, and actually stalks by night. ^_~) Things have been... interesting, to say the least. On the one hand, there's the general procession of days, the hours at work, the shirt measured by audio books I'm listening to and the ( Read more... )

*waves tiredly* Hi. I've been MIA (or perhaps POW, after you hear my Tale of Woe) from LJ for just about two months now. A lot can happen in two months. Life, as Stephen King has pointed out, turns on a dime. And, while I have not been harassed by evil clowns, eaten by an elegant Victorian mansion, or engaged in an ages long search for a Dark Tower ( Read more... )

Way, way behind, only two more episodes of Hannibal to go! We're gonna need all ten months to recover. X-X;;

( Hannibal 2x11: don't listen to a word i say / the screams all sound the same... )

*sighs* Still behind on Hannibal. I meant to come home and do this yesterday, but I've just been so… down lately, that really all I did was crawl into bed, cry for a little while, and go to sleep. Not to sound like a broken record, but I miss Murray, and I can't do anything right at my job now (shocker ( Read more... )

So, when I first realized I wasn't going to get Amber's birthday present done in time this year, I thought, 'it's okay, I can make sure it's only a few days late'. Which of course, became 'I can get it done by Halloween!' and... here we are. *rolls eyes at self* It's on time for a celebration of House of Anubis up-coming third season ( Read more... )

I'm kicking myself now because I got up early on one of my off days, got dressed, went into work to attend an awards ceremony I'd been invited to... only to discover it was half an hour earlier. Actually, it was over by the time I got there, which tells me it couldn't have been that all-fired important. I didn't really want to go in the first place ( Read more... )

They passed the Health Care Bill (tm). I'm aghast at the stupidity, but hardly surprised. This was coming down the pike whether people liked it or not.

For the record, it would be wonderful if everyone had access to reasonable healthcare-- if there was a way to dismantle the lumbering, blindingly stupid bureaucracy that robs people blind and ( Read more... )
