Nothing much to report
Jan. 30th, 2007 09:32 amNot much to write about these days because there isn't much of anything going on. I don't have any fun and exciting work stories because I don't see too many people in my day-to-day. We have some student workers who are funny and entertaining but I am just meeting them so it's not like we're having a grand old time. I miss my EI buds in Boston and all of the time we spent cracking up and being stupid. Heck, yesterday I asked everyone in the office if they wanted to "eat my big nuts" (I buy a nut assortment but really only like the almonds and peanuts, not the bigger ones) and it didn't generate much fun. So sad.
I'm going to a three-day conference here in Northampton from Thursday to Saturday. I asked the woman in charge if there was some way I could volunteer to get a discount, and she said that if I helped people check out on Friday and Saturday I could come for free on Thursday. I agreed, but I got the volunteer schedule this morning and now I'm still doing check-outs on Saturday but I'm no longer checking out on Friday, instead checking in on Thursday AND Saturday. WTF? Checking in involves being there at like 8am (conference starts at 9, I think) and no one EVER mentioned checking in to me. So I don't get it. And now I have to ask about it, and feel like a jerk. But I don't really want to have to be up an hour earlier on Saturday.
I basically don't do much anymore besides go to work, eat, and go to bed. Exciting life, I know. I get home from work around 5:30. At some point we eat dinner. I fall asleep watching television between 9:30 and 10, and eventually make the trip into bed where I get /terrible/ sleep because I end up with three cats on top of me and I can't move and then my back and legs start to hurt. How glamorous. But when you have 35lb of cat on you, it's not like you can just shove them off gracefully... it's heavy!
So yeah, that's pretty much it around here. I thought when we moved here I would resurrect my exciting life but I see that it was either a pipe dream or is going to take a lot of time. You know, that's okay because I have a lot of time.
