I had 3 new people start in my team at work this week. I have worked 40 hours in 4 days and I'm knackered but they were all really lovely so I have a warm fuzzy feeling. May be the booze I had to try to express wind down at the end of the week. But hey, it's the thought that counts.

First weekend not spent at the condo. Did a whole bunch of paper-sorting. I can see my desk again- for a solid month it was covered in letters, papers and all the greetign cards I got for my birthday, almost a month ago.

Now I got a ton of stuff sorted out, and I finally found the second Tims gift card I got from a grateful client this year. I ran out of money on the first one 2 weeks ago, and I kept trying to find the second one whenever I had some semblance of free time.

Also had the time to finally re-register for the new login system for the Student Loan Service Centre and take a look at my outstanding balance. I'm down to an amount that I can manage to just pay off by the end of the year and not have to worry about it anymore.

Feels good not to have to rush anywhere.

I decided to ask to take every Friday off for the rest of the year before I go on posting leave 20 Dec.

Miracle of miracles they okayed it.

I'm still waiting for this one to bite me on the arse, but in the meantime I'll enjoy my 3 day weekends for the next month and a half.

Winter is coming a month ahead of schedule. Low tomorrow of 26F with 17F windchill. Kinda mind blowing. That’s like every other year or three rare mid January temps.

Weather was indeed weird this year for the southeast. It went from high 80s F in the middle of October to being 26F this morning. We usually get a period of good weather between summer and winter, but it feels like we skipped Fall, and went from Hot As Heck to Cold. No lasting period of 65 to 70 F

Peace and quiet for the next three days.

Edit: Also, I think I finally managed to rein in my wayward sleeping schedule back towards more human fields, as in not staying up until 4am then walking around like a zombie on four hours of sleep. I'm at around seven hours of sleep now, which is a huge improvement.

Good thing you have those broad shoulders then.

Fine, you get objectified and I get objected to.

I so want to go to the four corners monument. Terrified of the Vacation situation happening.

Is it due for construction? or a shootout?

protip: if you suspect your toe/foot might be injured/fractured/ortherwise messed up, it's probably not the best idea to go to a 90s pop&techno-themed Eastern European dyskoteka and jump around like a maniac for 4 and a half hours. Le ouch.

SO much fun though.
