Movin' on up

So I got promoted this week to manager (nee research analyst). My boss sent out an email announcing it, and said some very nice things about me. Co-workers, too, were very positive and congratulatory.

It's weird because I didn't see it coming, and am totally stoked about it but still a bit nervous cuz I've had some horrendously bad managers in the past and holy crap I want to avoid doing what they did!

That said, my current boss is really an excellent manager, and so if I can learn from him then I think I'll be in pretty decent shape.

Other updates:
* Got my hair cut short again (cute!)
* Going back to DC for a few meetings next week (yay!)
* President Obama
* Discovered a fun site called Geekologie.com (Note: adult and potentially offensive content on that site, read with healthy funny bone)
* Really digging on this bass thing, hoping we can play a party or gig soon


Off to give sauteeing squash a go for the first time. If I can't get it to be tasty with butter and salt, I'll never like it.

A decade ago

A decade ago I found myself attracted to this guy who was nothing like what I was looking for.

He kissed me... then sent me home.

I've been obsessed ever since.

He makes me laugh more than I thought possible.

10 years on, and I know there are so many more suprises awaiting us.

It feels like the blessing of a lifetime to have as my partner such an amazing friend.

13 fingers

Working from home today.
Kinda punchy, maybe there's not enough air in my little office... I got it in my head that I have 13 fingers, and Paul suggested I name them.
So, here you go: (Best when read alound, there is a rhythm to the names)

Grumpy, Picky, Pointy, Flicky, Bendy, Plucky, Dippy, Sucky, Grippy, Scratchy, Slippy, Catchy, and Broke.

tee hee
