Man, the developer I adore working with is leaving at the end of next month, and today is his birthday lunch. I'm going to miss him so much, but insomnia came raging back last night, and I probably got 3 or 4 hours, and the dreams were very disturbing. I am a vegetable.
A vegetable that feels like SHIT.
It's not like we won't have a going away lunch/dinner for him, but I feel like I'm wasting opportunities to bond with him.
God, I can't believe he's leaving. Working with him is so much fun. He's good, he's fast, he's unabashed, and we attack each other like nobody's business. But he's also, behind the shit we fling at each other all the time, paying attention and tries to make me feel better when I've had a bad day or meeting. I don't want him to go. :(
Thank you for the birthday greetings. I am watching tv in bed while drinking coffee. The office computer is open in a remote session on the iPad, but not really working.
I got a nice ocean kayak for the b'day. I need to figure out a smooth method of getting in and out though. Today I will test getting in from the swim platform on the back of the boat. Wish me lack of pitching head first into chilly salt water. I tested getting into it in the pool yesterday from the edge without dumping, but also dicovered it is too heavy for me to flip over and I can't get in while in the water. It is very stable so I think it unlikely that I will spill in normal waves, but I like to test these things. All my prior kayak experience is on lakes where you gt in on shore. Getting in from a dock a few feet above the deep water is a new thing.
Much kayak~ma. What an utterly cool birthday present!
So cool, Laura! Good luck.
Happy birthday Laura! Happy kayaking!
Happy birthday, Laura! With added kayak! That's a cool gift.
Happy birthday, Laura! Kayaking sounds like such fun.
I think they still get paid not much compared to union-repped teachers, but they used to get paid something like $30 a month.
But is it as much as the non-union (which is normal) teachers at the same parochial school?
So cool, Laura! Happy birthday!
Ooo, kayak. Fun!!
msbelle, did you mean to ping me on fb? And did you get my paypal for the nail polish?
