So, I really hate to say this, but I'm going to.

I'm awesome.

So ... Kimmo called me today from our main campus.  She's been called up there to be on a search committee to find new directors for like four of our locations.  She's really good, my friend.

So, she calls me to determine where my loyalties lie.  I had to tell her that up til now, they've laid along the path of least resistance, because at the end ( Read more... )

I could never imagine not wearing green on St. Paddy's Day.  Twould be an insult to me heritage!

So -- as you can see below, I had my Saturday on Wednesday, so now I'm getting ready to go into work today ...
