Divisions and Precisions

Baby-Mad and Delusional

Come on now. Is that not the cutest eleven day-old you've ever seen? I know, this is threatening to turn into a baby journal. I can't help it. This little guy's already got me wrapped completely around his tiny fingers. I spent most of the day Saturday out visiting Justin and his parents. He is endlessly fascinating to me, even asleep. I think Dawn and I spent most of the day just watching him sleep and commenting on the faces he was making. We were amused, at least. I even volunteered to change diapers. That's how baby-mad I am. Bear with me. I'm going to be a proud crazy auntie for a while.

Easter was quiet. I actually had to work yesterday, since support was open for a few hours. This year is the first year I've worked a Sunday in the three years we've had Sunday support. Last Sunday was, in fact, the first time I've worked a Sunday in about six or seven years. I didn't miss it, really. Granted, it was kinda fun, and we definitely weren't busy. Today is the last day of tax season, and I am so happy about that. There's always a celebratory air around here on the last day. There's about a metric ton of food sitting around support, but no one can get away from the phones long enough to eat any of it.

Me, I'm living on sugar and Mountain Dew at the moment. Why? Why, because I was up until about 3:45. What am I, three years old? I kept eating Easter candy and being hyper until I realized at about three am that I wasn't the least bit sleepy. I wasn't sleepy right up until the time my head hit the pillow, then I passed out. I was so groggy this morning. When I'm that groggy, my mind fixates on whatever I was obsessing over the night before. I have tried to type in MUSH poses on my alarm clock before and gotten frustrated because I couldn't figure out how to type on my alarm clock. This morning it was, of course, the Sims. I have a household of three adults, and I kept thinking, "Okay, if I keep one of them home from work today they can sleep all day and get caught up. Which one should I keep home?" It wasn't until several minutes of this dilemna had passed that I realized that having one of my Sim characters sleep all day wasn't going to make me feel any more awake. If only it were that easy. Yes, yes I am frighteningly delusional when I'm three-quarters asleep.

Oh yeah! I almost forgot to mention that I officially got a promotion this week. I am now a Senior Receptionist, a new position they just added. Whee. Basically it just means that I'll keep doing what I've been doing, with a few more interesting duties, like teaching a class or two to our department and tech support. I'm quite happy about it. Of course, I don't know yet exactly how much my raise will be... that's the big question. I should find out within the next few weeks.

One more, just because I can:

Last day of tax season.

Last day of tax season. I am so happy.

I have tried to type in MUSH poses on my alarm clock before and gotten frustrated because I couldn't figure out how to type on my alarm clock.

However, if someone tells you you have the wrong number, DON'T ARGUE with them. One of our numbers is frighteningly close to the IRS's phone number, and I'm getting a lot of people trying to convince me that we're the IRS. Grar.
