lots of not much

dchenesUtterly unconnected stuff:
"There Will Be Blood" is apparently a good movie, and I like Daniel Day-Lewis, but based on the commercials I've seen, I'm just not interested.
I really hope that things at work will have settled down a bit by the end of March. Right now we're dealing with a new HMS administration, new promotion criteria and the associated 19 presentations, incipient maternity leave, incipient understaffing (AGAIN), shuffling workloads around (AGAIN), and last week I finally got the paperwork I've been waiting for since last June in order to close about 15 promotions. That means I can now write a fairly huge number of letters, after which I get to file two feet or so of paper.
I'm annoyed by the fact that I can't do my state taxes until I get a letter from Tufts Health Plan so I can prove I have health insurance. While this doesn't mean I can't do my federal taxes, I would rather do them both at the same time. And I'd really rather do them in January and get them over with.
In retrospect, I should have gone to Arisia. I feel like being social again, and of course now it's too late for it.
I am not going to the ATISA conference in El Paso in April. I can only afford it if I stay in a tent and don't eat. I'm still taking the week off, though. Maybe I'll spend it going to museums or something.
I wanted scrambled eggs for lunch today, and there's nowhere in the Longwood medical area to get scrambled eggs after breakfast time. Now that I'm home and could have scrambled eggs for dinner, I don't want them. I have no idea what I do want.
I wish I weren't impossible.
