So the other day one of my grad school departments emailed me asking: "What's the deal? I thought you're taking another semester, but seems like [Department #2] already approved the papers for your graduation." I was like, "Huh?" No, I don't know what the deal is, but one of my departments approved me for graduation!!! This means the other department will follow suit and I can has graduation nao, kthx! :D

Go Giants!!!
I missed the beginning of the game, "saw" most of it online reading the play-by-play, and caught the important moments at the huge TV in my apartment (did I ever mention someone gave us a huge 51" TV for free? It's ginormous). The party in my apartment was a bit too crowded for me, but I still had fun reading/watching the game.
There's cheering in the apartment, cheering in the streets, and I swear, cheering from the apartment building across the street from mine. w00t!!!!ONE!!!!!11!!!!1!!!!!ELEVENTY!!!! :D

Job squee. Well, it's a mixed squee, but really cool nonetheless. The Assistant Director in one of the affiliates of my organization took a leave back in November, and 1) he's still not back yet, and 2) I don't know if he will be. This means for the past two and a half months, I had been shouldering a large chunk of his work responsibilities. I want him back, or someone to fill the equivalent of his position, because right now, I feel like I'm barely keeping the operations of the Assistant Directorship afloat-and I'm only a measly Development Associate, not even in a managerial position (and I don't want to be).
So, even though I've officially been full-time for less than the 6-month probationary period, my boss approached me the other day and let me know that I was included in the annual staff bonus memo! Honestly, I knew the fiscal department was divvying up annual bonuses, but never in my dream did I think I'd get one, 4.5 months into the job. Not that I mind. Oh no, not at all *g*
