All I've got between me and the weekend is finishing up this damned yearly review. I am so damned tempted to copy and paste everything I put down last year and see if they notice. (Because waiting for the code elves to finish it by leaving it out on my desk hasn't worked so far.) My reluctance to finish this is buttressed by several reasons: of course I think I'm fabulous, so are you going to trust my opinion on how well I think I did? The boss doesn't seem inclined to take my word for anything else, so why should I care about this? The biggest reason still is that I wasn't supposed to still be here - where's my shiny new job?

Speaking of shiny new jobs -- the husband's interview went very well. Thanks for all the well-wishes. We should hear something on Monday. (Please, oh please!) We're trying very hard not to jinx the chickens before their teeth are hatched...or something.

In other random good news, I won a contest I didn't even enter! A while ago, I ordered slippers from Treadders.com (really comfy booties - the Emperor loves them - highly recommended for all small sproggen). At the beginning of September I got an email from them, announcing a contest for their customers from the past few months, and all we had to do was see if our randomly assigned number matched the MegaMillions results. Whaddya know, I won! Free shipping on 10 free pairs of booties, one from each size they offer, with a bunch of different designs. Granted, the Emperor will only fit into a couple more sizes, but we can stock up for the next kid.

Dammit, where are my code elves? *sigh* Back to the review.

Greetings to friends old and new, especially my Shore Leave peeps!

I made it back to Richmond in excellent time. There was one egregious gaper's block right around DC (ooo! Bright shiny lights! Must slow down to gawk!), but that only took 20 minutes or so to clear up. Since my arrival, I have been most excellently fed and allowed to babble on. Luckily, my hosting friends are Firefly fans, so at least the Jewel Staite stories had some relevance.

I haven't even tried to see how backed up my flist is at this point; I'm guessing it's going to be a matter of several weeks to straighten it all out.

So anyway, feel free to tell me the important news I may have missed since Wednesday night. Oh, and Shore Leavers? If you're reading this, I'm hoping to get at least a sampling of stuff up tomorrow night when I'm back home, but in the meantime, if you want to leave a note here, that would be awesomestupendous, as I've got a bad case of swiss cheese brain, the holes of which most of your names have slipped through. (Obviously, I'll never forget my roomies! And the friending helped, too. *grin*)

Man, I am so tempted to take Tuesday off as well, just to recover. Perhaps I should start practicing my fake sick cough now. *coff*coff* Hm.

G'night, everybody!
