Hi all! I haven't been posting much lately, and I'm going to try to remedy that, but here's a brief rundown of what's going on:
- Because I deal with a fair amount of secure information at work, our internet access is limited to the company website and one or two other associated domains. I can't even access Google, that's how restricted it is. What that essentially means is, no posting from work, no matter how much I might want to. And trust me, I want to. That said, I like my job and I want to keep it, so it's probably best for me not to be able to be on LJ when I should be working.
- When I get home in the evenings, I am really damn tired. You wouldn't think that sitting at a desk and taking phone calls all day would be so tiring, but considering that many of the callers are irate/pissed off/convinced they're right even when they're manifestly not/predisposed to thinking a woman can't possibly know what she's doing, it's surprisingly exhausting. So since my job involves nothing but communication, I'm not exactly inclined to communicate with you guys once I'm home. Sorry.
- Matt and I are sharing a computer. We've ordered a wireless router, but until it arrives, one computer, because my laptop refuses to recognize any kind of wired connection. Even if it did, we'd still be sharing the one ethernet cable, so only one of us could be online at any given moment. While it's not the most difficult problem a couple could face, we're not used to having to share this, so there's a lot of over-the-shoulder "My turn! My turn! You've been online for hours! C'mawwwwn, lemme use it!" It's kind of like having someone hogging the bathroom, except less essential.
Also, last night I had a dream/nightmare that:
Time to get ready for church!

Also, last night I had a dream/nightmare that:
- I gave birth to kittens
- I subsequently gave birth to a son
- He had my nose
- We got to leave the hospital ridiculously early
- Tina from Glee stole his head and torso in order to make egg foo young with them, which I somehow didn't notice until I looked down and realized I was burping two arms and two legs with nothing in-between.
- We rescued the baby and put him back together, whereupon I decided to name him Jack because he was getting into so much trouble.
Time to get ready for church!
