Thanks to all of you for the congratulations on my status as a working woman once again!

Now wait an hour, and then be sure to wish me happy birthday.

The new job is going well so far. I'm working in the grad school of where I attended college as an undergrad, located directly across the street from my old stomping grounds. It's a bit...

I got the job!!!

New Ryan set!!!

So much excitement!!!

Why is productivity so difficult on a Sunday?

Three o'clock and all's well. The bathrobe persists, the slippers persist. The cat is more lively than me.

I know it's a day of worship. Perhaps my chosen deity is Sloth, the great god of laziness.

I'm almost 26 years old, so I guess it's about time to break in the ole credit cards that I've had for like 7 years. With the trusty Visa in tow, EnergyChannel and I journeyed to the Woodburn Outlet Mall, after unsuccessfully looking for work-appropriate attire here in town. $600 later, I'd say that we accomplished our goal.

Now all I need is to actually...

I alphabetized my favorite girls today. Because I'm a big dork.

I have an actual job interview tomorrow. I haven't been on one of these in years, so here's hoping I don't do anything stupid.

EnergyChannel's phone rang while we were still in bed. It was his boss, requesting that he come in the shop to discuss something. That something ended up being a layoff, of sorts, as EnergyChannel is...

And so I return from a vacation that was far too relaxing and thus ended far too quickly. Sunriver was beautiful in that way that only the dry desert climate can be, and the water was better than anything bottled or filtered. Ah, mountain water. How I love thee. Next time we're totally bringing empty gallon jugs and filling up as many as we can....

Go wish EnergyChannel a happy birthday, because he's awesome and I love him.

Now I steal him and leave for a few days. Please don't mourn my absence too much, as I'll return on Monday.

Because of the Paybacks' penchant for crappy crappy local opening bands (see last entry), I decided to skip the show and stay home reading Bradbury short stories instead, while EnergyChannel sat through The Chronicles of Riddick. I'm halfway through the stories that eventually became known as the Martian Chronicles, and it's fun reading them again, as it's been about five years since last I...

Damn, where the hell did August go? We leave for Bend on Thursday, for a long weekend at a cabin, a Pixies concert, and good times with friends.

But, before that, I get to see the Paybacks again on Tuesday! Yay for the Paybacks! They are awesome, and no other woman can sound so much like a man as Wendy Case can.

The first time...
