Okay, folks. It's my birthday this Tuesday, but since I have to work (boo) I am postponing my birthday by one day.

This is an open invite. Anyone who wants to show up and have a drink at Hurley's is welcome. Bring friends!

Everyone's gone home, and the place feels very large and empty without people in it now. It's just me and the cats. I'm an introvert, yes, and I'm sure that if they'd stayed much longer I might feel differently, but right now it's kind of lonely ( Read more... )

I had dinner with my supervisor and his wife yesterday, and had a lovely time. I went there in order to get lilacs for the garden (he has a bunch overgrowing his yard), and they are currently trying to find a foothold in my garden.

I am feeling the change in time, but not as keenly as my friends are, because my schedule is wacky anyway. This week I am "allowed" to get up after the sun is out, so it's not so bad. On days when I have to be up early, I'm up before the sun no matter what ( Read more... )

There was a scheduling fluke at work, and it turns out that I have today off. Bonus ( Read more... )

Spent a long, long day at work yesterday (I did a day shift in the middle of the week, which is always kind of tough), then meandered around downtown, picked up some books, and went to join foi_nefaste and tcaptain with his fiancée at Hurley's. Two of foi_nefaste's friends were there as well, though if they have LJs I am unaware of them. tcaptain also had a colleague visiting from the ( Read more... )
