A plane down in Queens. I know better, but my mind jumps ahead of events. It’s telling how much I (and others) are still affected by September 11. Never before would I have immediately put terrorism at the top of my list of differentials. But I recognize this as a weakness in myself, and am…
Just found out that my department is hiring someone. She starts in two weeks. She’ll be filling a new position that didn’t exist before she was hired. I am to be numbered among her other responsibilities. This means that I will no longer report directly to the big boss, but to her. That isn’t necessarily…
Near as I can tell, my diary hasn’t been compromised. I’m waiting until Monday, and will then come back on line as Salamander. Until then, I’m busy taking care of odds and ends. May use this as an excuse to change the “look” of the place, if I can do so at home without the…
National Novel Writing Month Maybe THAT will get me off my sorry ass.
It never really occurred to me that anyone would notice my absence for a couple of days. Especially if I kept making comments. So when I started seeing my name in the title lines of people’s diary entries today I was taken aback a tad. At first I started making personal explanations as to what…
Yes, the self-confessed test junkie has fallen for another one. This came to me by way of sobriquet’s most recent entry. It’s called Colorgenics, and was incredibly easy to take.

What a freaking, aggravating morning. Ah well, I’ll start off with the good news first, and maybe I’ll be in a better mood after I get it typed out. The Boss came through for me. I don’t need to use extra vacation days (that I don’t have) in order to go to California for Christmas….
Shay has a good point. How could a large mega-company force a small, privately held company to sell? Well, the rest of the story was like this. An executive from the mega-company in question was overheard saying in a public place that they would either purchase us, or grind us into the dirt. This company…
I’ve spent the morning working up a good head of depression. I don’t know yet if there’s anything to be bummed out about, but I figure I might as well beat the rush and sulk early, just in case it’s necessary. My work announced last week that we’re working Saturdays in December. The schedule they’ve…
It might not be obvious from the past set of entries, but I do have a life above and beyond my cats. Other currently pressing items: I’m still waiting on an updated itinerary from Expedia.com for our Christmas flights to California. I tried to look it up online earlier this week, and got a message…
