Well, I haven’t written in about a week, and it’s not because I don’t love you guys, it’s just that I’m sort of waiting until I have all of my stuff back from Terry to dig in to the situation.
I never thought he would be petty enough to keep my stuff, but it’s always a good idea to expect the worst in people. You’re either right or pleasantly surprised. And it hasn’t helped that my workload for school is spiraling out of control as we approach finals week.
Not to mention that I haven’t gotten my christmas cards in the mail. E-mail me your address if I don’t already have it :)
I’m not a Christmas card-ey person, but I bought this box of 20 cards and it was kind of fun writing little blurbs to people and sealing the envelopes. That and my mom makes me send cards to her side of the family.
I’ve got work tomorrow, I’m doing a bunch on the website. I doubt it’ll be launched in December, but we’re really getting into the nitty gritty of what is going to be online and what won’t be. The interface is nearly done (I find one or two things to tweak every once in a while), so it’s all just putting in the content, which is very time-consuming.
There is some way to automate pulling the stories out of the InDesign documents, formatting them in XML, and plopping them into the MySQL database, but it’s beyond my scripting abilities. So it’s copy and paste for me.
And then there’s the secret santa thing at work…I’m reaching overload.
But there is one silver lining, I went and got some running shoes (fucking finally) and they make jogging SO much more fun. I was able to make more laps than I’ve ever been able to, and my feet didn’t hurt afterwards! Yay! I like staying in shape, it makes me feel a little better about eating pizza and burritos all the time at the college.
Well, it’s sleep time…and it’s only midnight. I need to get up early, jog, go to the post office and get stamps, send some packages…I don’t even want to think about it. But it’ll be done tomorrow, and I will be absolved of all holiday-related worry. I just need to get up early. Which is often a problem for me. We’ll see.
*zzzzzz*
