I found myself.

Where have I been the last two weeks? WORK IS INSANE. That is all. At least, according to everyone I've asked, this kind of chaos is NOT normal for even most emergency releases.

Also, yes, I'm on Facebook. Because this week's assignment involves joining a social networking site (specifics should be posted later) and work is not blocking Facebook yet.

Also, I read the last Blue Beetle, and ( it makes me kind of sad to type that. (EPIC SPOILERS) )

Damn, it's 10 already. Oops.

Also, why it's taking three weeks for LiveJournal to fix comment tracking is beyond my comprehension. Then again, that's what happens when you cut your staff short. *sigh*

TNT is marathoning all the episodes next Tuesday, February 24, from 10 am to 11 pm.

Set your DVRs.

Looks like they're showing them in production order, not airing order, interestingly enough.

So, flying in the face of their usual tendency to open on time even in dangerous conditions, my office is opening at 12:30 today.

The problem? ...I have to leave work at 2:30 today to get to my doctor's appointment.

I'm trying to save leave, true, but I'm not sure if it's worth going in for 2 hours. Especially when the doctor's is in the other direction.

I say the in progress because the day is not over and I may need to update.

1) Asked a question at the Policy Meeting that Never Ends that... actually yielded a simple answer and solution. Seriously. At a policy meeting. That kind of thing happens once in a blue moon.

2) When the really confusing Policy guy finally showed up at 4, my branch chief stood up and announced "Meeting's over!" before he could say a word. My branch chief is awesome.

3) I GOT OUT OF THAT MEETING ROOM AND NO ONE DIED.

4) ETA - When the other programmer in the room said, "I've got a theory," I automatically blurted, "It could be bunnies!" ...and two other people in the room got the reference.

1) Discovering that the afternoon meeting I absolutely had to stick around for was postponed until tomorrow. So instead of trying to flex out and nap in the health center for an hour to try to get my sleep-deprived self up to snuff for the meeting, I was able to go home sick and sleep for three hours straight in my own bed. (So I guess my self-diagnosis of sleep deprivation was dead-on. Thanks for waking me up, Mom!)

2) Mom gave me the obvious solution to wanting protein for breakfast but not having the time to actually cook an egg: hard-boiled eggs. Which apparently I still know how to do properly. XD

Hey, I slept half the day away, there's not much to cover.

Yes, I had to go back and check. Shush. (Day 5 had to be friends-locked for personal reasons.)

1) Ran my first meeting as a subteam lead ever. It was not a train wreck and I sounded like I knew what I was doing. Woot!

2) Teriyaki chicken lettuce wraps. Mmm.

3) jennies and indigoangelcat spent the night and provided nonstop entertainment. (To anyone on gchat last night, yeah, that's where I disappeared to.)

IN MY DEFENSE I DIDN'T GET HOME TIl 11:30 LAST NIGHT.

THE HAPPINESS MEME
Rules: For eight days you have to post something that made you happy that day. Tag eight people to do the same.

1) Getting to hang out with the SisterHood and seeing The Tale of Despereaux. Really, that sums up most of the day. We gathered in Frederick, saw a movie, went out to dinner together, then played board games til it was 10:30 and I was half-dead and it was time to go home. which is why I woke up at 2 pm oops thank god I have off tomorrow

2) Production day for the app release was totally uneventful. Nothing went boom. And I had pancakes afterwards with the team leads.

TAGGING: wonderseal, indigoangelcat, jennies, vaudevillainy, anatari, marielogan, kevenn, bktheirregular

Totally unrelated, can anyone point me to a good source of custom mood themes? I like the FB theme but I think it's time for a change. if there's a Pixar moodtheme out there I am ALL OVER THAT ONE.

So around the beginning of December, I couldn't wait for the hotel to stop screwing around with the G2009 staff anymore, and set up the week-long San Diego trip with the expectation that G2009 would take place sometime around the end of June.

Whoops.

*sigh* I really don't want this streak of having to miss the LA cons to continue, but... I don't know what I'm gonna do now. Not only is it now two months later, but I think it's now scheduled on the freaking production weekend of the app I'm subteam lead on. Yeah.

I can't turn around and get my folks to reschedule the San Diego trip now. And I'm pretty sure I can't afford to take TWO week-long trips out to California in the same summer, especially in terms of taking the time off. ARGH!

The semester is over.

The semester is over.

Actually, it was over Sunday for me, but I needed a day for that to register.

I'm not even gonna try to recap. I need to readjust to actually posting and perusing the friends list again.
