Woot!

Posted on October 1, 2004 By admin 14 Comments on Woot!

I informed my boss of the McGill job. It went SO MUCH BETTER than I could ever have imagined. I'm so relieved. It's a huge weight off my shoulders. He's uber happy for me, and agrees with me that it's an offer I can't refuse. He told me not to worry about the timing issues, because one thing he's learned is that timing is never right, always a problem, so he's learned to not care about it :) I've offered to give them a hand when needed for the next month or so to ease the pains of transition, given that I basically won't be working here anymore. I start the day after my vacation ends.

SO!

Now that that stress is out of the picture, I can now turn my attention to another stress, which is that Katy will be landing at the airport in…. less than 4 hours.

EEEEEP!

    Huzzah! Huzzah! HUZZAH!
    I'm glad things with the boss went well.
    What flight is Katy on? What airline for that matter? She's supposed to get in around 6, right?

    actually, her flight lands at 5:15. Is that a problem for you? What time do/can you pick me up?

    That's not a problem. Believe me, by the time she is through customs and such we will be there. What time do you finish?

    Then I will be there to pick you up at 5ish, if we go the back way, we should get to the airport around 5:45 or so… plenty of time I should think. Did you check to see if the flight was on time so far?

Quote of the day

Sam Vimes could parallel process. Most husbands can. They learn to follow their own line of thought while at the same time listening to what their wives say. And the listening is important, because at any time they could be challenged and must be ready to quote the last sentence in full. A vital additional skill is being able to scan the dialogue for telltale phrases such as "and they can deliver it tomorrow" or "so I've invited them for dinner?" or "they can do it in blue, really quite cheaply."
--(Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant)
