I’ve not been reading or writing in my lj. That’s unusual for me. Even when I’m not writing, I’m typically reading. Not sure what’s up with that. I got rid of the beard, and trimmed the hair back down so that I look like a boot camp recruit. I’m getting my YWCA membership this evening and working out for the first time in a very long time. <\/p>\n
The holidays are usually a time of disconnection for me. Nearly everyone else has other plans for the holidays, but I don’t. It leaves me introspective. As did visiting the extended family. Thoughts and examinations on where I am and where I want to be. <\/p>\n
I opened salary negotiations with the GAO today. The person I spoke with said they were inflexible on vacation time (not a surprise) but they might give me money. You know, that’s like 4th on the list of things I’d like to negotiate. 1st being the team(s) I’d be working on, 2nd being location, 3rd being time off. <\/p>\n
I have to prepare a little “why you should offer me more money” email. Why am I so filled with ambivalence?<\/p>\n
In other, more time wasting news, I bought a hat that makes me feel like I ought to go out and hunt something, but it keeps my ears warm, my final fantasy character has made tremendous progress, I’m really liking the old firefly episodes and I think my tichu game is improving. I made a grand tichu (basically a “they’re 135 from victory and we’re like 600 points below them, I don’t care what my cards are” grand tichu) and my partner went out second today. Sadly, we still lost, but that took it from “humiliating defeat” to “respectable match”. <\/p>\n
