The question isn't so much "what the hell am I doing up at 1:21 in the morning?" as it is "why am I up at 1:21 in the morning?", because I'm actually doing things. Unfortunately, what I'm doing is completely unrelated to anything useful.

Aha. Apparently the benefits forms aren't really supposed to make sense yet, because I haven't had orientation yet. Also, I'm supposed to be getting a letter that explains the whole orientation thing. (Silly post office, how about delivering things in the right order?) However, now at least I know that I'm supposed to have orientation on December 13. And I called my various temp agencies and said "So long and thanks for all the fish".

The fact that it's pouring throws a bit of a curveball at my plans for today. I know I won't melt if I go out in the rain, but still, I don't particularly want to lug groceries home in it. I suppose I can wait until tomorrow, because I want to make soup sometime Fridayish so I'll have it around next week.

I just sent off the abstract for the paper I want to present at the ATISA conference. We shall see...(especially considering that I think it's going to be a good paper, but I haven't written it yet, and I spun the abstract out of thin air and various notes in an hour).
