Apr. 6th, 2012 12:52 pmMade it to Friday! P&R week is always long, but this week was longer because of the faculty leadership course, and the cable guy. Things seem to have worked out anyway, though, so that's good.
Also good, or at least exciting: the Office for Research Issues is finally moving out from next door, so we're going to get some elbow room by moving some of us into that space. Unfortunately I won't get an office, and I won't get as much natural light as I have now. I guess I could always bring in my full-spectrum lamp. (And maybe, in the farthest realms of possibility, I might come off the phone coverage schedule. Seniority hasn't done it for me yet, but relocation might.)
Also good: next week I'm on vacation. Since the Philadelphia trip is off, the only thing I want to get done next week is to buy a suit for the voice studio recital, because I'm a mezzo soprano and that means I can wear a suit instead of a ball gown. Since I don't own either a suit or a ball gown, and I'm a fairly practical person most of the time, I decided I'd get more use out of a suit. Besides, fancy dresses have a tendency to wear me, instead of vice versa. I hate that, so I'm not gonna do it, so there.
The Hairy Beasts are shedding, but they deny it. Mostly because it's still dry enough for brushing them to be a major static electricity festival, which they don't like (and I don't blame them). So I just scritch them a lot, and collect up the loose hair afterward, and joke about having them shaved, and get Purred At because they don't have a clue what I'm talking about.
