This being sick thing is a total drag. First, I get a sinus infection that's so bad I actually miss work, go to the doctor, and take antibiotics. I hadn't taken antibiotics since the '90s. Then, Nate's mom has a cold on Thanksgiving that we both pick up. On Friday night/Saturday morning, I had a stabbing pain in my throat, but I thought I'd ( Read more... )

It's been a big year and I certainly haven't talked about it much. I've realized that I'm much more natural with Twitter than LJ. But for posterity, let's just say it was a good year. I have just two classes left till I'm an MS and just five months till I'm an MRS. I got furloughed on Fridays, I picked up a third job, people got laid off, I'm back ( Read more... )

If three people review a report, you will three distinct sets of comments. Everyone wants something different. Per my annual review, I need to be better at accepting that people don't always want what they ask for. Maybe I should just be happy that I have something to do today.

Tomorrow I have training for my new third job. I hope I'm good at it.

I'm a little worried about the kitten today. Yesterday, we bought him his first collar because he had actually tried to escape for the first time on Saturday. Of course, he didn't get farther than one step down, but we were still a little worried. We bought him a safety collar and a tag with his name and our phone numbers ( Read more... )

So, the stupid economy is messing with my head. We've got rumors flying around that our hours are going to be cut at work, but they haven't come out and made an official statement about it. But in the meantime, I talked to my manager and she recommended that I volunteer for more tutoring hours to make up the difference that might come around ( Read more... )

Do I need to make some sort of obligatory 30th birthday post? (Was there a redundancy in that question ( Read more... )

I sent my Christmas Cards earlier this week and I'm slowly getting some back as well. I'm sure most people don't have my Inglewood address so they'll all have to go through the forwarding process to show up in my mailbox ( Read more... )

It feels really good to have voted and picked up my sticker. All of my co-workers managed to get in and out in under 15 minutes but it took me nearly two hours. I'm sure there are plenty of reasons why but I've never waited that long to vote before. I was there before the polls even opened, but there were already 50 to 100 people in line. (My crowd ( Read more... )

My BMI (calculated with four caliper measurements) is still "very poor." I guess Weight Watchers isn't enough because she wants to start evaluating my nutrition too. I lost three pounds in the last three weeks, but that "very poor" makes me sad. I didn't know that I was carrying so much fat. She admits that I'm "thin" but I'm at risk for high ( Read more... )
