Chaos and other things

Wow, so much has happened in the last two days. It’s been really hectic and I wasn’t even in the middle of it. Ember really needs some hugs, but I’ll let her tell the story if she wants to.

On the project front, I was told by one of the project people that working this Saturday was a “don’t ask/don’t tell” thing: if I don’t ask about it they’ll forget to tell us to do it, so I’ve kept my mouth shut. I really need to get home this weekend. If for no other reason than to give Ember a big hug and let her know I’m there for her when she needs me. She and Sammie are still together, that’s not it, there are other things happening, but again, her story to tell.

We’re having some big mucky-mucks come through to walk the project next Friday. Yeah, Friday October 13th. We might as well all wear red shirts too, jeez. We’re almost done with the major moves and sets, and will be done on Friday. The next two weeks are going to be spent on touch-up work. Why I need to work twelve days straight for that I’ll never understand, but that’s the way they do it.

On happier notes I almost passed out yesterday: I got my expense check within five hours of turning in my voucher. It must have been an accident and I’m sure they’ll never let it happen again. On less happy notes I’m still a little sick, and got really wobbly on Monday (I had to hold on to a buggy to keep from falling over) but I’m feeling much better now. I’m still coughing a little, but I haven’t had a dizzy spell since the really bad one so I think I’m through the worst of it. I have to see my doctor at the end of the month anyway for some blood work, and if I’m still coughing then I’ll let her know about it.
