Today, I went back to work...

and somehow thought it would be better than when I left.  I'm not sure why that is, considering I was only off for two weeks.  Ah, well, I sorted through 326 e-mails, caught up some of the phone stats (that didn't get done while I was gone), and answered a few phone calls (since it was dead quiet).

I am currently deeply involved in my kick-started

Hey, lady! So good to see you around. And glad to hear that you had a good vacation. ♥

Thanks, sweetie :)

It was a good vacation, but I'm ready to get back to the daily grind. I seem to be more productive when I have to go to work each day.

You're welcome!! :D

Nice to see you in my little corner of the LJ universe. Thanks again for your great post. I just love it when others post exactly what I want to read and have the same taste in good quality fan fiction as I do. :D

I can't see the pictures (probably the fault of my browser, it's been playing not-so-funny tricks lately), but I just wanted to wish you good luck at work :).

Is anyone else having issues with not getting LJ notifications (or very sporadically, at best)??

They've been a bit late and erratic lately, but I think I got everything eventually? Inbox notifications seem to be working a whole lot better than email notifications.

It wasn't your browser. It seems LJ doesn't like bitmap pictures, so I put them up on Photobucket (which made them jpegs) and added them back to this post. You should be able to see them now. Also, I had copied & pasted them from my e-mail inbox, which doesn't work so well. Thanks for letting me know.

My inbox notifys have been fine, and the e-mail ones seem to be improving. I know there were a few e-mails that I simply did not get, though.

Thanks also for the well wishes at work. I've applied for a fairly big promotion, and the hiring process promises to be long and somewhat nerve-wracking. I am trying to focus on the fact that there are other opportunities that may arise and stay layed-back about the possibility of two interviews. All in due time ... :)

[upupa_epops]

Yep, I see them now!

I don't even use email notifications that often (I mean, I get them, but I operate on lj inbox), but I've seen people on my flist complaining about emails.

I hope at least fandom can distract you and help with the nerve-wrecking real life stuff :(. I'm sure things will turn out just fine!

The house on the left in that last picture is interesting-looking. I like all the square shapes.

Work after vacation is just a brutal reminder that not being independently wealthy sucks...or, at least, that's been my experience.

And I love the basket on your bike :D

[linsell_farm]

That house is under construction on my street and has gone up remarkably fast. I'm interested to see what finish they put on around the window on the right side.

ITA that it's brutal returning to work ... yet another experience we have in common.

That's the bike I ride when I'm at Dad's (it used to be Mom's). The basket is handy and matches the cork handle grips and the leather seat. :) It's a very comfy bike to ride.
