I guess it's time for an update, although there's not anything exciting going on. Just SNOW, SNOW, SNOW ( Read more... )

OK, My company thinks I would be good at doing a curriculum audit in GUAM.

It might require staying more than a week at a time for a couple different visits, plus all the analysis back here in Chicago.

Guam. Interesting. Why couldn't it have been Togo?

ADDED: I was able to leverage this bid for Guam to send an e-mail to the big boss and find out ( Read more... )

So I'm working all this weekend and on the Monday holiday to try and get this report done by next week. I wouldn't have to be working all these extra hours except I am going to be flying back and forth to New York twice for meetings, and then there is a two-day training for another project smack in the middle of all this writing I need to do ( Read more... )

So, I have been recommended for promotion to Research Associate!!#!!! :D

However I'm not dancing the happy dance yet, because there are still so many hoops to jump through and of course HR could always say there's not enough money in the budget, or whatever. But as of now, I am tentatively on my way to being promoted.

Woohoo! Blake's got a job interview tomorrow ( Read more... )

AND ( Read more... )

This whole having a job thing is seriously cramping my internet time. I've spent almost 4 hours this morning catching up with e-mails and postings, and I'm just now getting around to LJ. So uncool ( Read more... )

Well I've survived our first month in Chicago. It already seems like we've been here forever and that we're really starting to get a feel of it as "our town" after driving all over the place. It's really fun to explore and find new places, and I've been using Yelp a lot to write reviews of restaurants and other places we've been. It takes a lot to ( Read more... )

Does anyone else use Yelp for reviews? Blake showed it to me recently and we've both become obsessed with it. We look up all restaurants we want to try on there as well as any services in our neighborhood. That's where I went to read up on the new hair stylist I went to, and it turned out great! However Yelp only works if you're in a really big ( Read more... )
