Oh, Internets, how I've missed you.
EM, you totally blew my post! Here I was all ready to do a whiny annoying little blurb about life and its suckage, and then you send me a surprise and undeserved package of love and happiness! I mean, you sent me chocolate (2 pieces already scarfed and the rest are in my freezer fearing for their very short lives) and coffee! and stickers and anime and a very cool-lookin' book and KKM goodness! Whee!!!! Seriously, you are far too good a person and I adore you. ^_^
I've been pretty absent these last few weeks because work is continuing to kick my ass. Its just awful. I'm totally absorbed by this Florida project, and we have all these big shot managers down there that are supposed to represent our center's interests, but are only good for shouting out orders and....well, that's pretty much all that they seem to be doing. Meanwhile, their orders make no sense and are impossible to achieve. Just a bunch of Big Boys throwing their stones around. This week we finally got another manager down there that seems sane and is able to understand what needs to be done and our capacity to achieve it, so I'm crossing my fingers. And my boss is finally back from his cruise to Italy, so I'm going to appreciate the extra back-up. He already got me out of that stupid 5 pm daily meeting that I was locked in, so that makes me happy. I mean, the trade off is that I picked up two more daily meetings into my schedule (all I freaking do is sit in meetings it seems), but at least these are productive and are in the morning so I can go back to my early work schedule. See that? Silver lining. I'll take it where I can get it.
Anyway, I hope to be caught up on all of my emails and things I owe to people by this weekend. Sorry I suck to all those who have been waiting for me for various things!
CATS - There is no Sherlock as of yet. I had a Sherlock for about a day, and realized that Sherlock was 1) Flea Infested 2) Female and 3) Sick. So, I had to return the poor kitty. I would have tried to nurse her back to health, but I know next to nothing about animal care, and would have wound up hurting more than helping, I'm certain. Also, she managed to infest both my home AND poor little Watson with fleas during her short stint in my home. I got flea treatments for my home and Watson from the vet, so all shall be well, I hope.
Pictures of Watson coming soon, I swear! I'm going to swipe my parent's digital camera when I visit Sunday so you can all fawn over his adorableness.
Finally, after about 2 years of not having TV, I broke down this week and ordered cable. The dude is coming over Friday afternoon to install my satellite dish. I blame this, of course, entirely on sherriaisling for introducing House to me, and my following obsession with that show. I'll be sending back your DVDs soon, I swear! I still hate Cameron and Chase and hope they die. Just in case you were wondering. Foreman can stay. As can Cuddy. House and Wilson may fuck. You know they want to.
