Oh, bother.

So, work actually got real rain out of that sudden shower stuff Sunday and Monday. Like, 1.5" on Sunday, and .5" on Monday. So I'm not watering trees, which does and does not suck. Watering trees is super boring, but that's what I've got energy for today. It'd be nice to do something else, and get caught up on other chores, if I were more energetic. Maybe the 1pm staff meeting will run long.

By's got a long work day ahead of him--he had to be in at 7am, and he's staying until 8pm or later. Robyn's hosting a NAWBO meeting tonight, and is going to have the gallery open during and after the meeting; hopefully, the ladies will go shopping.

Didn't get much knitting done last night, probably won't today. Dammit. I really want to get those heels finished on the kilt hose, so I can feel like I'm making progress again.

Ok, that's a bright spot to the day

Just checked my time off balances on the campus website. The "you've been here 5 yrs, so we're going to give you more time off" thing kicks in THIS month, not next month like I thought. So, I'm getting 10 hrs vacation time a month from now on (rather than the 8 hrs I had been getting).

Golden handcuffs indeed.**



**My retired boss used to say that this place kept you working here with golden handcuffs--the longer you were here, the better the benefits got, and the harder it was to leave.

Idiosyncratic Meme...

1) Altoids. 'Nuff said.

2) Yarn. 'Nuff said.

3) I won't eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches unless there's no other option.

4) Ditto with McDonald's, except that I'd choose pbj over McD's.

5) I can't get out of bed in the morning until I've hit the snooze button at least twice.
