Not Dead

Wish I were, just a little.

Did not get the lateral promotion I'd been hoping for. Interviewed for it last Friday, was told would get results Monday, today I got the "I'd like to thank you for applying" speech.

IDssapointing, to say the least.

I would have been moved from CS to Quality, which is a huge step up. Or at least a small step over. On the plus side, I have gotten a chance to update my resume, which is always good.

I also learned that some of my cow-orkers are getting GST checks. God, that sickens me. Move out of your parents fucking homes, you gits!

Weather annoyed me today. I felt rather ill this afternoon, so if I"m not at 100% tomorrow I may do a sick day.

Cats are going nuts. Ra has continued to destroy stuff.

On the plus side, d20ark* Matter will be happening next weekend.

Crap. That is bad timing.

Come on, surely you can put it off for another week. It can't be THAT important.

Alas, it is. I haven't been home since August 2001 and no besides my immediate family has seen Peter (or Mary since she was 18 months old -- she's 3 now). I'm not looking forward to the 10 hour drive with two kids, but it's got to be done and the Easter holiday is a perfect one, since all the teachers in my family will be free to spend time with.

Oh well.

I thought Easter was the 20th. Aw, crap.

Ah, well. Have a good trip. I'd offer suggestiosn about pacifying the ninos for the ride, but they'd likely fail.

Easter is the 20th; we're staying for two weeks. The way everyone's vacations fall, it just worked out best to head down well beforehand and come back to TO shortly afterward.
