Staying put.

The morning started off with a bit of disappointment. John had applied for an international rotation with his company, but he didn't get it. I suppose we can try again next year. Plus, this means we'll get to spend the summer reading on the beach, and, best of all, I will get to see my first and second nieces/nephews born. Brett and Brad are both spawning these days, so there will be some new loin fruit crawling around in no time.

I've been reading like a crazy woman this new year. I've already finished Crime and Punishment (amazingly disturbing), The Good Body (woman power), and Three Men in a Boat (quite funny). My current project is Twilight, which I've powered through 260 pages in two days. I'll make short work of it. Then comes Howl, The Fight, and War and Peace. I wunna git real brainy.

I've been promoted at work--if you can call more responsibility for the same pay a promotion. I went from Proofing to Scheduling and Tracking, which apparently is the next step towards technical writer. Dear God, I don't want to be a technical writer. Then again, I don't want to be in Scheduling and Tracking either. Acceptable jobs: Queen of the World, Puppy Play With-er, Bookstore Owner, Publisher, Editor, Word Maker-Upper, Jedi, Yoga Instructor, Movie Critic, Cake Taster, Tea Sampler. Tell me if you know of any openings in these departments.
