falling soft

10 February 2007

falling soft and constant
from clouds gathered tight
from clouds heavy and gray
soaking and seeping
onto the thirsty ground
onto the waiting puddles

kisses
my dogs are so cute…

Love the lazy days. 😉 The hubby straightened out the kitchen a bit. Looks much better. 🙂

Flashbacks on an “Other”? Ye gods! Of course, I like Juliet even though she’s one of them. And her back story is interesting. Will Ben really let her go? Is Jack to take her place as doctor to the Others? I thought it was interesting how in the “real world” she was a bit weak and hesitant and now on the island she’s a strong type. Those years away certainly changed her!… Woohoo for Kate and Sawyer getting off that place! And who is the boy they saved? Is he going to be a recurring character?… What’s going to happen to Jack?!

I really do enjoy LOST. 🙂

So much rain out there. I think it’s making my head hurt. Ugh.

I have a three day weekend. Glorious! Days off are so wonderful. I might even catch up on Supernatural this weekend. I just have to watch four episodes. 😀 It’s kinda fun watching the eps on my Macbook. Gosh, I really do love that thing.

Pitchers and catchers report in 6 days!!!

I need a nap.

sleeping in is hard to do

10 February 2007

Darn dogs! The dachshund just can’t sleep 8 hours straight. Once the sky lightens, she’s whimpering to get out. Bah!

I’m starting to get excited about the prospect of a new job much closer to home. I checked out the website and I think my immediate supervisor-to-be is one of the ladies who interviewed me! Oh my. LOL! She was nice though, so I think we would work out okay together. I hope. LOL!

But as I worked yesterday, I couldn’t help but feel a little sick about how much work I had yet to do before leaving. I don’t even know who I tell about turning in my notice! And I don’t know how much notice I need to give. I do feel bad that I’m going to leave them when I know so much work is ahead for my position and I was just getting to know it. I think I almost have a handle on being registrar for YVHS, but I have to do what’s best for me. And given a choice of driving 50 minutes to work as opposed to about 20 for almost the same pay is a bit of a no-brainer, eh? I do have some questions about the job and the benefits and such, but I can’t imagine that they would be so different from what I have now. I really do hope that I get to wear jeans and stuff. The position doesn’t pay enough for me to buy a whole new wardrobe. 😛

but inside

9 February 2007

on the outside
smiling
innocent
living the routine
on the inside
churning
guilty
dreading the telling
on the outside
shuffling along
watching the clock
living each moment
but inside
savoring the familiar
missing the comfort
hoping for a good end

I made a few new ringtones yesterday and today, two of them from tv shows. Jensen Ackles singing that REO Speedwagon song and George Eads singing “Mandy.” Right now Jensen is my default ringtone. LOL!

Rain

I’m glad for the 3 day weekend. Of course, I had a four day weekend last weekend because I was sick. Can’t count that though. 😉

an offer

8 February 2007

So, after four interviews for three different positions, I have been offered the secretary position at Liberty. YIKES!!! Actually, I’ve been “recommended” for the position. I have a second interview on Tuesday afternoon. And then I guess I’ll figure out if I really want it and they get to figure out if they really want me.

I’m excited and nervous and not sure if I want to take the position. But I think it’s more a fear of something new when I’m just starting to get comfortable with YVHS. Oh, and I’ll feel a little bad about leaving when I know there’s so much to do.

Alas.

waiting for my ride

And what’s up with the rain?

just a figment

8 February 2007

just a figment
a tiny moment
insignificant
just passing by
almost unnoticed
inconsequential
just a a quick breath
a sidelong glance
so fleeting
then it’s gone
too easily forgotten
just a figment

On Vox: why is vox blocked?

7 February 2007

Too bad I’m listening to a “protected” AAC file.  Darn it!  (It’s “Tu Amor” by R.B.D. in case you’re wondering.)

Anyhoo, I can’t “vox” at work.  Why is that?  Does the word itself not deserve display on my work computer’s browser?  Or am I missing something potentially offensive about “vox?”

I understand why I can’t use myspace at work.  Hullo, I work at a high school!  But Vox?  At least Livejournal isn’t blocked.  Yet.

Oh, am I watching LOST tonight?  Or are we saving it for tomorrow?

I’m just full of questions, eh?

BTW, I’m cross posting this to my LJ.  🙂
