Finding myself completely distracted at the moment, in the middle of
half a dozen conversations and some tinkering on the work website... Anyway. Went off to the NRC awards thing last night, four of us piled into
a Subaru wagon looking pretty snazzy. Our fabulous beat cops, the mayor,
lots of people there to congratulate us for our efforts to improve community
safety! Got home feeling pretty deflated though, spent some time tidying and
putting away all the suits I'd gotten out of the closet while trying to figure
out what to wear. Talked to my brother on the phone (he just got back from
I got up
ridiculously early this morning, I probably could have
been to work by
On another note. If there's anything I hate more than censorship I don't know what it
is. But I do recognize the need for tact and things, so I'm heeding the advice
of one of my former colleagues... and while I think that this page might lose
its intimate feel, I respect people's privacy and won't mention any names
unless I have permission to do so. I think I said that somewhere already, if
you scroll up a bit. I wonder how I can tell my stories w/o mentioning the
characters involved but you know what? I'll use this as an opportunity to come
up with a creative solution. Or I'll eventually realize that I should spend
more time writing at home and that having my own site is probably nothing more
than some self-serving need to see my thoughts in print. I don't know, I mean
it is still in development.
Damn. The
only thing that drinking six cups of coffee before leaving for work means is
that I'm bound to crash hard around lunchtime. That's okay,
I have nothing planned for after work other than mopping the floors and maybe a
little dusting. The closet problem is almost under control and I'm going to try
to rearrange some things in my office either today or tomorrow. Hopefully
before summer is fully under way I'll have my office at the point where I can
actually use it to study, pay bills, paint or whatever. There's a loft bed at
Ikea that I want to get for the office too so I'll have guest quarters for
Maria or Brian & Ellon when they come to visit.
I'm sure the couch isn't all that comfy and let's face
it, I may have a big bed but only very special people get to share that!
One more
thing... The world's largest burrito was made on this date in 1991! Just heard that on KPIG, I didn't get the rest of the details
though. That musta been one big tortilla!
