life is sweet
right now, i'm in my pj's, laying on the guest bed in columbus, ga. i love the newman household. since we have the long weekend, and i move the 15th, and butter goes to england the 19th, we decided this was the best time for a good visit. and it's been wonderful. lots of sleep, something i've been lacking lately. lunch with gann. playtime with murphy. el vachero. cartoons and flash gordon. what more could a girl want? and i'm so looking forward to visiting butter in oxford this spring. i haven't been to england in too long. i need some chips, and a ride on the underground. we've decided we'll get a room in london a few nights, hit up fabric and all.
as for work. it's actually great. i can't believe how much it is nothing like what i expected, or like anything i ever thought i would do. and i'm shocked at how well i want to do. thursday was by far the worst day i've had there. everything i touched turned to suck and fail. then went home and had it out with monica. turns out we've both been holding it all in, because we think the other one is under so much pressure. so we've vowed not to hold back what we're thinking. and that just seemed to burst a big, stressed out bubble. and friday was my best day yet! my high speed scanner came in, and it is so amazing. fast, accurate, sits on top of my desk so i don't have to get up and walk half way across the building 20 times a day. the arrival of the scanner started a major clean up, and now my cubicle is so much more spacious, and layed out much more efficantly. can't wait for my boss to come into town. one of the most common phrases i hear around the office is, "i don't know if you've heard about the girl who had this job before you, but..." apparently, she didn't set the bar too high.
oh! and, i have a place to live. i'm going to have a one bedroom, one bath, in a part of town called liberty park. it's really nice, kind of far out there, but very safe (something my uncle and cousins keep telling me). i move in the weekend of the 15th, so next weekend is devoted to finding furniture. now, i think i'm set on a couch, and 2 chairs, but i need bedroom furniture, a tv stand, at least 3 bookcases, and a coffee table. i ordered a dining room set from eglin over a month ago, but haven't heard anything yet, so i may keep an eye out for something while looking for everything else. and i should be home the 13th-15th, and we at least need to go out and celebrate nichole's promotion!
