Up to my eyeballs!
July 16, 2006
I've been a leeetle busy lately, if you can't tell from my lack of posting. When haven't I been busy lately, though? :) Quick summary:
Jason was in the hospital with a kidney stone attack for a few days.
My car battery somehow died in the hospital parking lot (no, I didn't leave the lights on).
I am rearranging my home office.
I started my new job.
Those are the headlines! More info below the crease!

Full of Vice
June 13, 2006
I really wish there was a way for potential employers to just tell you yea or nay at the end of an interview instead of leaving you biting your fingernails for however long it takes them to debate and discuss and interview the competition. I know it's not realistic, but... patience is a virtue, and I guess I'm not very virtuous!
(I have three more days of work left)

I'm Free...
June 05, 2006
... to do what I want, any old time! I handed in my notice on Friday, so this is my second-to-last Monday here. :D It was still hard to drag my butt in, but the promise of not having to do it much longer is nice.
I went to post this entry and saw that somehow we had a HUGE number of comments on this and Steph's blog... turns out we got hit by a massive amount of spam, and somehow those comments were being auto-approved. I've gotta sit down with Jason and figure out why that was happening.

Time "saving"
May 09, 2006
Must be a slow day at work. I'm inspired to post because I feel all smug after reading this article on optimizing your email because I have an efficient email filtering system already in place. :) And because I am bored and feel the need to brag, let me tell you all about it (I know you're panting to hear more!).

Hooray!
May 01, 2006
Well, apparently at around 4:30 this morning, Jess and Chris became parents! Yay! Veronica Isabel Cannon (I'm guessing at the spelling, and hoping I heard Jess right, the cell connection wasn't great!) took her own sweet time coming into the world - Jess was in labour for roughly 24 hours. Yuck. But still. Baby! Yay!

Phew!

The server that houses this blog and my mail (among other things) died on Tuesday. Happily, Jason was able to salvage the data and to get everything put back together again by yesterday morning (!), but unfortunately, he had to replace the server itself. :( I'm so glad that the mail was saved, since my copy of the rehearsal schedule was only saved there!

Yawn.

Taxes are finally done (what a mess, next year we're working on the separation of church and state... I mean, business and personal). And I'm well into rehearsals for A Midsummer Night's Dream, and it's looking good so far. A good version of the script (the cast list was pared down because the fire marshall puts a limit on the number of folks allowed in the theatre - and that includes cast members) and great people.

The Busy Bee Gets The Worm... ?
March 28, 2006
Wow, I can't believe it's nearly the end of March and I haven't finished putting the Christmas decorations away. I am such a slacker! Yikes. Well, I guess I have some fairly decent excuses... I just can't think of any at the moment. :)
I've really become bored at work, so maybe that can count as an excuse? Although you'd think I'd have more energy when I got home to tackle stuff like that... but really, I wind up hanging out on Second Life or doing stuff at the theatre.

Naptime!
March 22, 2006
Ever notice how things come in waves? Whoosh! And then your head's underwater and you're trying to tread water to keep up? On Friday, I finally succumbed to the cold Jason's been nursing for the last three weeks. I went home at noon with a sore throat and a fever. I limped through the weekend, took Monday off, and am still reeling on Wednesday!

Keith, my regrets
March 09, 2006
I got an email today from Scott, letting me know that our former classmate Keith had been killed in a helicopter accident in New Zealand. I don't think I'd seen Keith since graduation, and we weren't particularly close at school. But it's still depressing.
