crashing early - incoming storm is making me ache big time.
I’m posting from the bathtub. Mmmmmmm
It’s not so much for formality’s sake (although that was the origin) as it is “safety”. IOW, you have to buy tickets (and bring your school picture ID) so that security will let you in. :rolleyes: In my day, all we had to do was buy tickets. But, then again, in my day, 2 girls or 2 guys couldn’t buy tickets–it had to be couples and the couples had to be heterosexual, so I suppose we’ve made some progress.
Am home from a delightful day at the library. Have a shared today how much I enjoy my job there? I came home, shoveled some heart-attack snow and ate some cereal.
I have an old friend coming over tomorrow to do a photo shoot of MOI. His position was eliminated and he is turning to his hobby for money. However, I am not paying him. He’s doing a project of some kind and (for all I know) is going to have a showing. I could be Famous! Ha! (is here a good place to say that I’m nervous as hell and wish that 1. I weighed 30 pounds less and 2. was 10 years younger?)
I hope I don’t crack his camera…

Hi all! Maybe this week I’ll actually be able to participate/semi-keep up with the MMP if Life’s Hectic Pace allows.
And YAY for everyone!
::mooz::
Ooh boy! Firstly, welcome back, Shadow! And Yay about the job too!
Sorry I haven’t checked in before; our computers and phones are still out at work (damn sure hope they’ll be up tomorrow some time) after a cubicle reconfiguration over the weekend. :eek: I sure as hell hope I don’t have to go through another one of those. My cubicle is now at least 25% smaller than before too. 
Didn’t have much to do today other than un-pack. Boo!
Glad to see everyone here, though; you guys cheer me up. That’s what good Mumpers do! I love you guys … LOL 
One down, four more to go …
I keep meaning to type up my write up of visiting the beach but I’m supposed to be doing homework…
Speaking, I’ve decided my method of production for the one class isn’t going to work. OK, that’ll make no sense to anybody, not even me in six months. All right, for this class I’m supposed to make some sort of portfolio worthy work. Because I’m the only one taking with this teacher it’s basically turned into a independent study. What I’m creating is at least 15 reversible ‘story cards’ (actually I have a better name now, but that piece of paper is on my bed and I don’t want to walk the three steps to get it).
I was doing it nearly all on the computer - the original drawing was hand done, but the inking and coloring was all done in Illustrator. Well, now I’m going to hand ink, have Illustrator rasterize it, and color it in Illustrator. I did a test bit, and it looks like three times better than what I inked in Illustrator. So, basically I’m starting almost over (I have two cards drawn, although I need to fix the hands - damn hands - and a third about a quarter done.)
I also have three loads of laundry done. It’s always so tempting to throw the warm laundry on the bed and bury myself in it.
Ooh, a Cthulhu choker…
Tacos for Fahrmen was a success. Every bit of 6 lbs of taco meat was et, and most everyone liked the change of pace. There was one holdout, though. :rolleyes:
I’m glad the taco feed was a success, **Bobbio! **
OMG, I totally want one of those, Pie! I’ve been dying to find a nice piece of jewellery made from old cutlery, but most of the time they’re kind of ugly… whereas yours has a really nice shape to it.
Bobbio, who in their right mind doesn’t eat tacos? Hmph. I hope you ate his share while making loud sounds of appreciation and singing neener-neener-neener.
It’s finally stopped snowing here. I’m debating whether I want to be a good neighbour and go outside to shovel the sidewalk, or be a bad neighbour and hope the forecasted rain shows up later tonight to melt it all away. It would be a moot point if only The Boy had come home from work at a reasonable time like he’d hoped… however, since he’s yet to call to let me know he’s on his way home, I have to assume that he’s going to be stuck at the office until some ungodly hour. AGAIN.
Have I mentioned how annoyed I am with The Boy’s job lately? Sigh. He spends more time at work than he spends at home, and most of what he spends at home is spent sleeping.
Worked, came home, napped. Now it’s bedtime.

Yay for tacos!
YAY
There’s lots of stuff to learn but it’s not terribly overwhelming. Yet. I think I met just about everyone today. There are about 25 people in our office. It’s so tiny compared to what I’m used to. And they have modern technology. It’s not bleeding edge but it’s not 1999 in there either. Oh, and medical, dental and vision costs $12/year. That alone makes up for the (small) pay cut. Parking is free, too, so that’s more money for me!
Did someone ask about knitting? I knit a raglan shawl, Milkweed and Multnomah this winter. I’m currently working on Bitterroot, but it doesn’t look like much right now.
Yay for first days at work! 
Finally finished with the stupid program guides for this term. Go me.
Can I haz Spring?
It’s 13C here today! So nice not to have to wear knee socks over my stockings in order not to freeze.
Whoohoo for first days, new jobs, program guide completions, tacos, photoshoots, jewelry and anything else I missed!
I am working from home this morning as I am waiting for one of the moving companies is coming to do a moving survey at 11AM. Company 2 is at 8AM tomorrow. I am working on my location vist report from lat week and watching Friends. I have had brekkie (Oatmeal) but I am starving and I have no real food in as I was travelling last weekend and I am leaving on Thursday afternoon for a Hen Weekend in the Lake district. We have cottages rented on Lake Windemere.
However French Air Traffic Controllers are on strike starting today so my flight may be cancelled/delayed/whatever. Grrrrrrrr
Must eat something.
Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN Time to go back to work. Le Sigh.
Not much else to say here. Happy Tuesday Y’all!
GMTA[sup]3[/sup] Mayhaps StickyBuns has stumbled upon a whole untouched fan base for jewelry makin’!
Morning all…I can haz blurf?
I slept very badly last night, and had some bizarre dreams in between being awake and fretful about not being asleep. So today I am not really enjoying being up early and at work. Still, it’s one day closer to the weekend.
I’m glad you all like my pendant, even if we have alternative opinions of what it is.
BooFae, I think I slept just about the same last night. At about 10 till 1 I woke up and was having stabbing pains in my right shoulder as I breathed in. This lasted a couple of hours. Good times. Fortunately I should have time for a nap later this afternoon before water aerobics. That is, unless my grandpa has installed the new vise on the workbench for me. If that’s the case, I might just have to try to burn down the house again. 
Morning all, up and caffeinating - cross your fingers that phones and computers come back online sometime today. Or I’m going to be mighty bored!
Happy Tuesday all.
