I love my roommate about 80% of the time. 10% of the time she annoys me by leaving crap all over the living room, but I kind of resigned myself to that a while ago. Another 5% she's angsty or in tears, and I get annoyed, but I know how to deal with that, so it's not *so* bad. But the other 5% she gets even more hippy-dippy flower-child than normal and sings (in her high and breathy singing voice) and plays either guitar (badly) or ukulele (even worse) along with a whole variety of folk songs and Beatles tunes and some indie-pop, but she always picks *the* most annoying songs and I can hear her high, breathy voice and her high-sounding ukulele going "plink" in the other room and AIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Maybe it's time to start rethinking my living situation :-/
Um. In other news, I am fine. Work is work and I am trying to figure out how to break up with one of my singing groups. Over the weekend I made some rice with chicken stock and dill and lemon juice and it was lovely, almost risotto-like in its consistency. And then on Monday a bunch of us went to Santa Cruz for a cookout and I got some nice pictures. I think I'm getting the hang of my new camera, which is good because I leave for Alaska four weeks from Thursday.
This Friday my team is having a barbecue at my boss's boss's house, which, it turns out, is five blocks from my apartment. WEIRD. But it's partly to welcome my real boss back from maternity leave and partly to bid farewell to my temporary boss. And that same day I get to interview my first person; should be interesting! And then the following week I have my first one-on-one meeting with my real boss in... nearly five months. I will have a lot to tell her, including the fact that there are some shenanigans on my team currently in re: power games.
It is Tuesday and it feels like Thursday already. Oof.
