I'm almost afraid to post in my LJ, because then there will be comments. I just spent an hour clearing all of the LJ-comments out of my email, and it's sad because they keep building and building and then I just get overwhelmed. When I get too many emails, it sort of discourages me from answering them (the same thing happens when I've let an email sit for a long time - then I'm less likely to answer it). I have been trying to read through pages and pages of LJ entries when I get home from work, because I don't want to miss out of you people, but GAH - I am getting very overwhelmed.
Today was good - much busier than yesterday, since we had team meeting at noon, and a training from 1:00-2:30 and one from 2:30-4:00. I was helping a coworker write a case plan (she is fairly new too, so it's like I'm learning while she's learning, which is cool) and I didn't do any random sitting around. Phew! Another new woman comes on Monday, and she'll be sharing an office with me, so that will make things interesting. La la la. If only my job would set up my email.
Anyway, after work I hit the grocery store to buy milk and supplies for Brandie's birthday cake, and then I had just enough time to drop off my car, go to the bathroom, and walk to volunteering. Then Jen picked me up after (I had a really fun day at KYC) and we had to get food since we were both starving - we haven't even been home an hour. Ugh. I hope I sleep well tonight.
Oh, another big fat bummer is that I doubt I'll be able to take the day after Christmas off, since I'm a new person and we need to have at least half the team in at all times. This means I won't be able to leave Columbus for Christmas, which is a majorly supreme bummer because that means no fun family things. Jen is of course stubborn about staying with me wherever I am, which is very sweet, but now I feel bad like I messed up her Christmas, too. Yuck-o!
Oh well, peace out, kids. I need to go read or something. MWAH!

i feel guilty doing this...considering you're terrified of the comments...
Date: 2003-10-01 08:07 pm (UTC)Aww birthday cake for me. I'm so excited! And somethow it seems fitting that you'd quote MSCL in a post about my birthday cake. hee hee. We still need to watch more some time!
The second quotation is one of my favorite lines from the series, because it's so true, by the way.

Date: 2003-10-01 08:15 pm (UTC)We DO need to watch more MSCL! I admit that I cheated on you and watched two episodes in my unemployed slackness. Still love me?

Date: 2003-10-02 05:30 am (UTC)I can't blame you for cheating a little in the MSCL. We've had a long bout of absence from Ms. Danes's beautiful presence, so I can understand your need to get a fix to hold you over. But we shall have a MSCL date night soon! (once all this birthday madness is over...)

Xmas
Date: 2003-10-03 07:10 pm (UTC)I'm afraid it might be after children enter the picture... but then didn't all of us go off to see the grandparents... dunno.
I'd really like a family Xmas of both blood and non-blood-good-friends=family gatherings. No gifts no presure, just casual feeling good vibes.
So tell everyone to come to you.

Date: 2003-10-04 02:29 pm (UTC)But yeah... part of me hopes my brother gets the job he applied for in Cincinnati, because if we're both 1.5 hours away from each other, maybe they'll come out MY way!!
