threeplusfireOnly a week until our party, and I still haven't finished unpacking the library. I did start, pulling out most of the hardcover biographies for the top of the smaller shelf. The Vampire Hunter D novels are currently stacked as a book end. We need more shelves, for books and for the dvds. I'm also waiting on photos and prints and frames to arrive so I can begin the serious work of decorating the living room and kitchen. I am terribly excited about the Bighorn Pears.
In WoW, I'm either raiding Black Temple or grinding Timbermaw rep. It is a funny set of extremes.
I went into work this afternoon to take a long, long exam for the possibility of a promotion. It felt sort of strange to be taking a paper test. I should hear back about my results Monday. working for a dot-com again is funny. Everyone looks the same as they did in 1999, with a couple guys wearing slacks and business school hair cuts and that one guy with a Masters in Philosophy and everyone else in jeans. (I bought my first pair of pants not made of denim in ages this week on a whim.) There's that casual disregard for seniority. Somewhere recently I read an article about why college graduates jump from job to job and are less likely to be loyal company cogs; it had a lot to do with expecting the workplace to be a meritocracy. I've worked for exactly one place that was a meritocracy and that was my first dot-com. Everything else has been bullshit, most especially the state.
Today I bought a card that's really supposed to be a Halloween card, but I'm using it for a birthday card. For once in my life, I'm going to get a present sent on time. I just have to buy it. Like right now.
