Awesome: Thai tea with lunch
Not Awesome: Lunch taking forever and being kind of lackluster
Awesome: Having that one waiter again - you know, that one with the accent, he may be Italian or even Greek
Not Awesome: Today is Monday, I have a headache, and want to take a nap
Awesome: One week until the second road trip of the summer
Not Awesome: Having to come back to work after road trip numero dos
Not Awesome, special Bounus Round edition: Finding a cool opportunity that would not require a loss of benefits, or a commute (it's right around the corner!), but upon asking for a letter of recommendation from a manager from another area who used to work for the manager of the program that has the vacancy, being advised that the potential supervisor may be kind of a task-master with ridiculously high expectations, even of support staff
Why does *everything* always seem to have some kind of hitch?!?
Vacation, I neeeed you!!!

I like this awesome/not awesome format. it works well.
when do you leave again? soon, right?
when can see you again? soon, right?
you never know about the job, they just might be saying that to keep you. trust no one. constant vigilance!!! speaking of Greek, we need to get some when I drive up that way again. :)
I think I probably ripped off awesome/not awesome from somewhere. But I've made it my own, with typically me touches.
I leave for my trip this Saturday. Grandparents are still saying they want to go to Niagara, but the spousal unit doesn't really want to drive 2 hours just to stand on the NY side and wave at the good falls on the Canuk side. Plus we cut our trip short by a day (but there was some slight disappointment, so we're probably going to add that day back). We'll see def. going to Lake Erie.
There's a new Greek "taverna" opening up on Central, about a block from the Thai place. If it's open next time we can go there.
I didn't apply for that job.
Post Script: I *DID* apply for that job, at the 11th hour yesterday afternoon. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I need a change, even if it's potentially fraught with peril. Now I have to tell my references.
