Updates
I just looked at my last entry and realized it's been quite some time since I posted. We've been busy with sickness and teething. In the last month, various members of our household have had the flu, colds, a stomach virus, teething, conjunctivitis, and a sinus infection. March has not been easy.
Nora is starting to get serious about walking. She's been doing a couple steps here and there for a while now, but in the last week it's extended to walking across the room or down the hall. She's also gotten a lot more vocal. On the warm days, we've been opening the inside front door, and she stands at the screen door and hollers incoherently at squirrels, birds, dogs, and people in the neighborhood. There are syllables there, and meaning, but not a lot of words. It's kind of like watching Japanese movies, where the character says 10-12 syllables, and it gets translated to "Hey You!"
My new job is going well. I really like my coworkers so far. Even beyond that, I feel like they come from my subculture. At Unisys, I really liked the people I worked with, but they weren't members of geek culture, by and large. Here, I've got a boss who uses a screenshot of her WoW character as part of her screensaver slideshow. Two of my teammates have transforming robots in their cubicles.
