Huh

Random moments:

Odd:
Realizing the girl you're talking to just because she obviously needed a little help with the material (TA whiffed on her question, so, hey) is actually REALLY hot.

Mildly negative:
Seeing the same person after class, finding out that no, they're not actually working on class work now.  They've got another project.  (Sure, she's cute, but I mostly just need someone to work with.)

On a related note:
Dear EVERYONE I KNOW IN THIS CLASS (that's like 6 people!), why do you ALL have class or work immediately afterwards?  Seriously!

Love,
Me

Urk

I'm torn between exultation and joy, and worry and a bit of sorrow.

Weird.

I feel just a little bit manic.  I have many good things, and a few others that make me sad.

My boss, who I, quite frankly, love dearly, is moving on to other roles at the same company, and a guy I don't really get along with - who is a bizarre choice - is being put in his place.

This guy is also really new to the company, and has lots of his own ideas about how things should be run.
In truth, being shaken up is very, very good for us.

In the short term, though, this is scary.  I think Brenton will be harder to work with than Will - anything else would be almost impossible, of course, Will is incredibly easy to work - but I'm also concerned that it will mean more work for me.

And no doubt about it, it will.  There's SO much stuff Brenton doesn't know, some of which I don't either, though almost all of it I do by now.

But at the same time, he'll be a technical escalation resource, which Will wasn't.  It will be exciting to work with someone so competent in that realm.  Though, weird.  And Brenton is kind of a dick a lot of the time.

*sigh*  We'll find out!  Onward, to adventure!  O.o *twitch*

Yesterday

I meant to post this yesterday.  The reason I wound up NOT going to the conversation group is embarrassing: I had brought what I thought was a clean shirt to Estens, but it turned out to have (ugh) a nasty stain on it.

So I went home first...

Anyway:
---

Not everything in here has to be angsty, right?
There's a voice in my head telling me that it should be, and I've had some angst in the last week...
But, no.  I don't need to put that here.  Not right now.

So, here's what's on my mind:

It's nice being at Estens.  I spent the night last night.

He's just finishing up a shower, and I'm sitting on the back deck, continuing to work on K&R C.
It's sunny and beautiful out, and I've got a bit of music on.

A bit later, I will... most likely... tear myself away - though I may not, it's REALLY nice here - and go to the French conversation group down town.

And later, I know I will - barring the unexpected - be visiting Kimberly to borrow a book.  I have one of the Dresden Files books in mind - since she said I should try them again - but I'm open to persuasion or inspiration.

And I've got music on!  Pandora.  There's some good stuff here.

It sounds like a nice day.  I think whether or not I actually get to the conversation group will depend on Esten...
If he has a nice idea and wants to hang out (and if he has lunch! :O), I'll probably stay. /guilty look around

If not, I'll go.  Either will most likely be great.  I'm bad at that sort of decision!

Tired

Today, I am VEEY tired. I suppose that means I should sleep.

I hope I can find the peace that requires.

Lord, grant me peace.
Help me to find solace from the cares and worries, real and imagined, which buffet my life.
Helping me to find healing, most obviously of the body, but also of the soul.
Lord, be merciful upon me and grant me peace.
