Besides me, there are 2 people left in my office now. I’m here, but…not really working. I love these non-holiday holidays where there’s hardly anyone here and it’s really quiet. I’m answering the main phone line, but nobody’s really calling, since most people thing we’re closed. I’ll be here until 5, which is fine because Cooper is at day care ( Read more... )

It’s been 2 years since I last regularly posted to my LJ. Obviously, I can’t (and won’t) go back and fill in every little detail of what’s been happening, but I will try to provide a Cliff’s Notes version, just to catch anyone up who’s interested, as well as provide some quick backstory to some few new folks I’ve added recently. After updating ( Read more... )

I recently signed up for an on-line writing class. The continuing education department where I work has recently partnered with a company that offers low-cost basic on-line courses (in subject areas that we don’t cover in our programs). I was really curious about how they work, so I became the unofficial guinea pig and signed up for one, just to ( Read more... )

I haven't been at work all week. We were snowed in Monday, and iced in today. I'll be getting back to the real world tomorrow, with a delay until 10:30. Of course Monday was supposed to be Frank's first day. So, now we're wondering if Monday will still be his start day, and he'll get paid for 2 days of staying home, or they will just change the ( Read more... )

I applied for some jobs today, just for the hell of it. I will consider these the practice job applications, and continue applying for additional jobs as I see them. I'm not going to hold my breath on any of these jobs, for a variety of different reasons. It's been a long time since I'd applied for jobs, and I need to get back into the swing of ( Read more... )

It's snowing out...or at least it was last I checked. I have an interior office- no windows, so if I want to look outside I have to get up and walk to a window. From what I hear, it's not supposed to accumulate, the ground's not cold enough, but people are getting all worked up abut it as usual anyway. I kind of wish we would get one last big ( Read more... )

Work is closed tomorrow, so I do get a day off out of this weather thing after all. I guess I could be watching tonight's episode of Big Love, which is currently recording on HBO-West. When it originally came on at 9 I watching Family Guy and DVRing Desperate Housewives. But Frank's downstairs working on a class project, so I'll give him some ( Read more... )

I had a nice weekend. It still felt like a long weekend, even though I worked on Saturday. The Summer Camps registration day was pretty much as crazy as I expected. When I arrived at 8AM, there were already people waiting in line. It was supposed to start at 9, but we were set up and ready to go by 8:30, so we opened early to get a head start. ( Read more... )

I've been at my "new" job for a week now, and I'm still getting adjusted to having a new routine. The job is in the same department, but doing totally different things. My old job was pretty much sitting at a desk for 8 hours, answering the phone, taking registrations, following up on payment plans, etc. My new job involves getting materials ( Read more... )

So after Friday night the rest of the weekend was rather anti-climactic. Saturday morning I actually had to get up and go to work. Well, not work exactly, but ostensibly work-related, although it really was not very relevant at all. I knew it wouldn't be, but we'd get double time off for going, so I didn't make a big deal of trying to get out of ( Read more... )
