So today was my first day at EBSCO. The day started rather poorly - George Carlin dead, dogs poisoned at High Park - and I thought the rest of the day just might go the same way. I got off to a late start because of a last-minute debate I had with my outfit (blazer - or no blazer?). The blazer finally won, but I wasn't sure if I'd be able to ( Read more... )

Whenever I feel badly about how life is going, I read my diary from high school. What a sad, small world I lived in then. It cheers me right up ( Read more... )

A lot has happened over the past few days.  On Tuesday I got a call from the director of the Inforum (where I work).  He wanted to interview me for an internship position the next day.  By Wednesday afternoon, I had the job.  It's so amazingly perfect.  It will be new, challenging, and in the same building as my classes.  It's full time May-Aug...

So exactly a week ago (almost to the minute), the fire alarm went off at my building.  Probably about 30 people, including myself, evacuated.  We stood on the sidewalk, the nice firefighters paid us a visit, there was no fire, we all went back upstairs.  We were miffed, we were cold, we were pissed off that we'd awoken from a dead slumber to run ( Read more... )

What a challenging and rewarding year.  I think it deserves a post, not only because I'm procrastinating this morning, but because I want to remember this past year and if I don't write something down... it's mostly lost in the abyss of time.

I don't remember much about the beginning of the year except that it began much the same as the years that ( Read more... )
