(no subject)
Haven't posted in ages (as per usual), but then I haven't done anything very exciting in ages. Work is still overwhelming, although today ended well. I phoned up our quality manager to explain that I've been ignoring one of her requests for the past 3 weeks because I've been too ill to do much in the way of overtime (if you don't count the 12 hour saturday shift), and she said 'good! I'm too overwhelmed to deal with you responding to me!'. Nice to know that the whole company is overworked and overtired.
There is a possibility of a light at the end of the tunnel. At this point I'm really cynical about it, but I'm trying to keep a positive attitude for the minions (I'm back up to 6 of them, soon to be 7).
In fun news, I've been out to Lucyloo's to play Rock Band (George, we're not), and I'm looking forward to doing it again next weekend. I'm ignoring all the costuming I have to do for Anime North in two months (must make wings. must look up what the red outfit is supposed to look like), but looking forward to dressing up. I've watched all of season 1 and 2 of Criminal Minds, and am gloating over my season 3 box set (they need to stop picking on Reid!).
I've been getting out to the Toronto Contra dancers, thanks to a semi-local who's willing to car pool if I'll drive 45 minutes towards Toronto to meet the group (kinda thrilled that he might cancel the next one so that he can take a date - then he'll stop making eyes at me. Nice enough fellow, but he pinged the 'vaguely creepy' metre as part of his first impression). Last weekend's dance was great fun, despite a lingering cough, and a bit of a sore neck. I got to dance with some of the really good dancers, although not the really creative older fellow except in passing. However, the best dance was with a guy who'd never been before, had little clue what he was doing.... and was having the absolute time of his life. Normally I just aim for partners who'll spin me around until I get dizzy, but that fellow was having such a fun time that it really improved the whole experience. Also, someone there not only got my math jokes, he found them hilarious.
Now if only my neck would stop hurting and let me get a full night's sleep, I'd be pretty content.
