We leave for the beach today! I'm almost ready - got the pet sitter arranged for the cats; checked the alarm system so we know it's working right; cleaned the cat boxes, waterers, and food bowls yesterday; and finishing the last load of laundry now. Just got to get a shower, finish packing, and load the car! And then, a week at the beach!! I'm ( Read more... )

I usually don't do resolutions, at least not seriously, but this year--this new decade--I'm going to make resolutions and plans to keep them. I'm posting them here so my friends can help. So, without further ado, here are my resolutions for 2010 ( Read more... )

Okie dokie - well, almost exactly 9 days to the minute after I got laid off, I got the offer for a new job. I had a phone interview with the HR person on Tuesday, a face-to-face interview with 4 folks yesterday, and an offer today. This is a mid-sized CRO (compared with the large CRO that is PPD) and sounds like a good place. All the folks I've ( Read more... )

We put Zorro to sleep yesterday. He really started to go downhill this past weekend. His appetite decreased to pretty much nothing and he was pretty shaky. Yesterday morning, he didn't even show much enthusiasm for his treat. We took him to the vet yesterday afternoon. He was more alert then, but still not too good. His temperature was 99 ( ( Read more... )

Fairly quiet week at work. I got data for a study report on Tuesday, so I've been getting started on it. I did find out that a report for another sponsor is finallly final! Yay! It's the first report in a series of 6, so it's nice to get it final before the next one comes along next month ( Read more... )

Woohoo! There was Bead Show! It wasn't as big this time as it has been. I think that the rescheduling and the down economy probably hurt it. Still, I got some nice beads. I really like the bloodstone pendant and beads that I got. I'm going to have to contemplate what else to put with them to make a nice necklace. I also picked up some nice ( Read more... )

This has been a pretty quiet week at work, which is just fine. I have a data review meeting all morning tomorrow (9am-1pm) but those usually aren't too bad. I have to pay attention but I usually don't have to say a whole lot. Next week, I get data so I can start work on a study report. It shouldn't be too bad - it's the third report for a ( Read more... )

Yucky day weatherwise. BG and I were going to see Watchmen, but decided just to do the errands that we needed to do and come home. We hit Panopolie (I wanted to see if I could find some little envelopes to put my charms in for the charm swap - done), Sears (I was looking for some jeans, but found a decent pair of dressier pants and a jacket ( Read more... )

Pretty quiet day at work. I'm trying to finish up some things on a final report - some last-minute QA comments. We should be completely done with it by the end of the week at the latest. Yay! Then, I'm pretty light on work until the 24th when I get data for a new report. Not that I'm complaining - I was super busy during January and most of ( Read more... )
