Sunshine and rainbows and puppies and...
I have no excuses for such a prolonged absence from lj. School ended midway through March, and I emerged triumphant despite hours of lost sleep and a lot of conferences. Over the past few weeks, any time I haven't spent actually working or with others has been lounging around, being about as lazy as one can imagine. It has been glorious. And now it is over; my class started yesterday and I am blowing off my reading to play with my iPad.
Work has gotten somewhat better. I did get a slight bump in pay (though not a correction) and a bonus, as well as a new benefits package that is much more valuable than their traditional stock grant. I've been involved in some very big internal investigations which have challenged me and given me more confidence, and I'm traveling some next week to do a few presentations. Today brought a moment of unpleasantness when our VP basically interrogated me without warning on something I was not prepared to talk about - but I talked to my boss about it, and he said he would take care of it.
I cannot believe next week is Holy Week. Really?
I gave up soda for Lent (mainly diet coke, because I will drink glass after glass of it without even thinking about it) and I honestly think I might have given it up for good.
And...I suppose I should get back to studying. I will try to be better about posting and commenting,
