Well, I've recieved two positive write-ups and have been given a first tiny sliver of real responsibility in my company. It's tiny, really almost beyond microscopic, like gluon-sized. But it's also a vote of confidence, which is always good. I am definitely also at the point where a cell phone is pretty much going to be a necessity, despite how valiantly I have fought against being forced to obtain one. There are some awesome deals online, and at some point I may also get one of those groovy earbug bluetooth headsets to use with Pallas too.

Last week at this time it was warm enough for shorts and sandals and sweat. Now all of a sudden it's chilly in Anytown; indeed, it's chilly all over the country. I can't wait for the snow. Tee hee.
