Month: October 2005

I dreamed last night that the boss (old boss Phil) came back and reclaimed his job. A definite possibility (basically, since he left us to go overseas, he can come back to the US into the job he left, but he has to come back at the end of his first year over there, if he stays for more than a year then he has to look for a US job when one opens up, just like any other job seeker). I had to explain to him all we had accomplished while he was gone and he didn’t take kindly to my changes. The worst part was that I knew I was going to have to keep on working just as hard, but I’d get less pay. How’s that for justice?

So I woke up in a funk. I hate being uncertain of my future like this. I’ve pretty much decided not to go too banzai on the office until I know for sure about whether or not he’s actually coming back and that won’t be until next summer.

It saps the strength a bit. Maybe it’s just the weather.

My three day weekend was nice. We saw the SCA friends on Sunday for fighter practice. I got tiernen to clean out his closets. Now we have to get him new clothes.

The ‘rents have been off the map lately. I can’t remember if they’re on another trip or now right now. I think they’re in Cape Cod. I’ll start worrying if I don’t hear from them by next weekend.

Oh well, back to the grind.

I’ve been sitting in my chair too long today. Really, I’ve been here too long for the past week. I need my 3 day weekend. I’m owed 59 minutes from the other day, I think I’m going to take them now. Before I go, some instructions.

1. Hey sis and friends, add ari_griffin to your friends lists. She is mega kewl.

2. Happy b-day to the sister. Her birthday is on the 9th. I’m not telling how old she will be, because some of you can do the math.

3. Enjoy yer weekends, I plan on enjoying mine with some sewing and movies and maybe some shopping and definitely some snuggling, both Wooby and feline.

4. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. (Not that I’d feel it, but…)

EDIT: Tag fixed, now go check her out, especially the sister. I think the kitties are reading my LJ. Winston sat on my head last night while I was sleeping and purred in my ear. Not bad snuggling for a cat who hid inside his kitty carrier when we first got him.

Mystic Theurge 33% Combativeness, 10% Sneakiness, 70% Intellect, 61% Spirituality

Brilliant and spiritual! You are a Mystic Theurge! Score! You have a prestige class. A prestige class can only be taken after you’ve fulfilled certain requirements. This may mean that you’re an exceptionally talented person, but it probably doesn’t. The Mystic Theurge is a combination of a cleric and a mage. They can cast both arcane and divine spells, and are good at both, making them pretty terrifying on the battlefield. They have more raw spellpower than just about any other class. You’re both intelligent and faithful, but not violent or deceitful. I guess that makes you a pretty good person.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 14% on Combativeness You scored higher than 0% on Sneakiness You scored higher than 46% on Intellect You scored higher than 82% on Spirituality

Sometimes someone else says it best:

“The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers:
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!”

English poet (1770 – 1850)

My favorite childhood vacation place was in the news today. And it was not good news, it was VERY bad news.

“Captain blames wakes for tour boat tragedy”

20 or 21 people died. It’s so hard to put that idea together with my memories of the place. I can imagine all of the boats on the lake, though. It gets so busy on the weekend. The Ethan Allen is a big, relatively flat bottomed boat. I’d bet it is very top heavy.

I feel terrible for all of those people. I only have good memories of Lake George and I’m sorry that a lot of people will now associate it only with tragedy.
