A.M. Update
Busy, busy, busy, busy... I'm alive but, well, you know the drill. Started the new job Monday and I'm observing a training class I'll eventually be teaching. It's all week, 8am-5pm. Wheee!
Learning a lot and hoping I made the right choice. I will like it well enough for a job that's not Tempest only, but I'm gonna be on the road 30% of the time. Could be cool, could turn into a beat-down. Got to clean up credit for a laptop! And I still don't have the final $$$, Carol is out of town until Monday. I let her know, subtlely, that I remembered the mid-range from that job grade from my admin days so she'll be less inclined to low-ball the figures. Heh. I think $5k/yr more is a good start, provided I get that corporate card she promised to pay for my travel.
Anyway, that's pretty much where my head is. OK, the real answer is far more graphic but you all are imaginitive (and you know how I get). Just gimme a tug to pull it out when I start suffocating, 'K? ::grins::
I'm gonna try to keep calm since we leave for St. Louis Int'l Film Festival in ONE WEEK - Aaaaaaugh! Just know that in reading your journals, I have lots of thoughts and love and comments but ZERO time to give input of any substance. You're just gonna have to grab those psychic hugs and happy thoughts when they come flyin' your way. Loads o' love all the way around...
