Time	Event
11:52a	Decisions Sooo... I decided to stay. The salary is the same. I'll be getting a committee assistant (!!!), which means I'll actually be able to say that I have management experience, which is awesome. Plus, it'll be that much easier. Very few weekends will be required, AND the hours will be better. And I get to keep my fabulous office, which is 22 floors up, so I have a view of the entire city. Seriously, I think on a clear day, I can actually see Vermont. I know it sounds a little ridiculous, but I'm really attahed to my window, especially with how dark it gets here (and so early!). Plus, it's quite the ego boost. They're basically making another analyst position to keep me! More good news: our presentation actually went really, really well yesterday! It was awesome! I'm so happy...I really needed a good presentation grade for that course; the last two with my old group were terrible. Food-wise I've been doing very well this week. I avoided a pizza crisis yesterday. We ended up with lentil soup and veg. chik patties instead, which I feel much better about. I did have some wine though; I did get a promotion after all!

11:55a	time for a new water heater? Apparently, our hot water heater is dying and leaking steam and water everywhere, and the water has been shut off in our building. Awesomeness! (share your thoughts)
3:04p	dinner? We're going here for dinner tonight...any ideas on what I should eat for a healthy choice? <3 N Current Mood: curious Current Music: Sweetness, Jimmy Eat World (3 thoughts | share your thoughts)
4:04p	disco hearse Today... Bfast: non fat yogurt Lunch at a friend's house: 2 slices white bread (GAH!), hummus, tomato, cucumber Snack: v8, low fat string cheese Dinner: ??? Salad? I don't know. I'm an idiot. I don't want to go anywhere, let alone to dinner with all these people I don't know at all. Boo. I've already had a liter of water. Woo...hoo. I feel...fat. It's ugly out. It looks ominous. The downside of living right by a cathedral is that they're always having funerals. Like every day. Today I saw a disco hearse. Well, it wasn't exactly a hearse; it was more like a pimped out funeral disco el camino. It had a flashing pink and purple light on top and in the grill, and it was black, and it was an el camino, and all the funeral flowers were in the back. I found it to be incredibly disturbing and odd, and I wanted to take a picture, but since it was in the funeral line of cars, I somehow felt it would be offensive. Then, I saw this guy who looked like a homeless 18th century fur trapper. I wanted to take a picture of him too, but I felt like an ass. I want to be invisible and take pictures of everything like a fly on the wall. Can I do that? I found $18 in a skirt pocket this morning. I love it when that happens. I just wish it were even more. Once I found $60 something in a pocket. That was the best ever. It looks ominous outside, but even more so now. We have a Thanksgiving problem: D likes big family Thanksgivings. My family is antisocial, and no family lives close by. D's aunt lives like three hours away and is a really bad cook and won't allow any alcohol in her house, so we're not going there, so we told my parents we would do something, which she took to mean that we'd be at her house, which we never agreed to. D said he didn't want to have a 4 person Thanksgiving, so I asked if his sister could come. My mom of course said no, so I said maybe we could do it at my house, and she said no. Any ideas on how to proceed? I hate how it gets dark at 4pm now. Have I mentioned how happy I am that I'll be financially solvent in January? That is awesome. We're having a super big holiday party on 12/15. I hope people actually show up. Anyone who reads this is invited! Yaaaay! Seriously, if the party sucks, I'll die. I think I'm going to go home now, well in a few minutes, although I probably shouldn't because I came in late and took a long lunch, but.... I do have an exploded water heater to go home to, so I guess that's a good, true excuse, right? We have no water in our building, and it SUCKS. I'm so excited to not have work tomorrow. Current Mood: indifferent Current Music: wave of mutilation, pixies (11 thoughts | share your thoughts)
