It's January, and I'm wearing sandals.  I just wanted to put that out there.  (And no, I'm not one of those bizarre people who enjoy wearing shorts year-round.  This is definitely out of the norm ( Read more... )

I am so ready for a nap. :)  Saturday NQH had to go into work, so I took advantage of his being out of the house and got a good portion of my wrapping done.  I have one gift for him left to wrap, but I need to get a box for it first.  I then turned into a baking fool for the rest of the weekend.

Saturday I made 6 dozen gingersnaps, and the dough for ( Read more... )

Oh my god, could someone please tell me when it became December? I seem to have lost part of November somewhere, and would really like it back. Will reward finder with handknit socks ( Read more... )

I actually made a reference to Ayn Rand in normal conversation today. It was a little weird ( Read more... )

Well, I've survived my first 2 weeks (less 2 hours) at my new job.  So far, so good.

We (my supervisor, 3 co-workers, and I) had a 3-hour meeting this morning to go over the various needs of the department, and to decide how the division of labor would take place.  It was actually really helpful, and it's nice to know I have a set group of job ( Read more... )

I just told my boss about the new job and gave her my letter of resignation.  She's freaking out ( Read more... )

I got offered the position over in Internal Medicine today, which I happily accepted.  There's a little bit of back-and-forth over my start date, since I want to take a week off between jobs, but all the other details were fine (including my nice raise).  My boss is out today, and I've only told one co-worker and our HR person, so there will be a ( Read more... )

Haven't felt much like updating lately, and the keyboard doesn't type itself.

Highlights of life recently:

-NQH and I saw Snakes on a Plane last Friday.  We had a great time - the audience was really into the movie, and it was just great fun.  You can't go into the theatre expecting to see a great movie, but if you go in expecting to see a really ( Read more... )

On Tuesday my computer at work had a "thermal incident," and my motherboard needed to be replaced.  (I guess there is a design flaw in the Dell model I have, so the capacitors overheat and leak their electrolytes.  I'm not entirely sure what that all means, but it sounds important.)  Anyhoo, the friendly guy from tech support came by, installed the ( Read more... )

My office is co-hosting a conference this week.  I've started referring to it as "the rolling disaster."  Seriously, it's like a cheesy horror movie - every time you think you're safe, a zombie pops up out of nowhere to eat your brains.  Except, instead of zombies, I have teachers with floppy disks and elderly education coordinators ( Read more... )
