Today was my Director's last day. I'm happy that he's going to be much happier not working there, but so incredibly sad to see him go.

Second random thought of the day:

I really want to move. I don't have a problem with Centreville, I'm just really sick of living in the development I'm in. So now I'm trying to figure out if I can afford to move to this really really beautiful development I pass by every day on the way home from work in Herndon that's 3 blocks from my office.

Oh yeah, and I'm a dork because I'm listening to the soundtrack of Halo right now. And loving it.

Random thought of the day:

Overtime:

When you're a contractor, it's your best friend.

When you're a salaried employee, and it's preceded by the word "mandatory" I think my feelings can best be summed up by Paul Reiser - "Not so much."

I feel obligated to update, now that my sister-in-law knows where my REAL blog is :-) Quite the sleuth, she somehow managed to track down my Myspace account, which has been accumulating all sorts of dust, cobwebs, spam, and other assorted crap in the last however many months I haven't looked at it.

Spent Saturday afternoon in Winchester for my niece's 8th birthday. She had two of her classmates over and I gotta tell ya - I don't know what they're teaching kids these days, but it isn't manners and respect. I swear I was in the presence of 2 of the devil's spawn that day, and am just thankful that they were outnumbered by my well-behaved nieces and nephew. Makes me feel really old, and glad that I'm almost past the point where I could bear any children of my own. God knows what THEY would turn out like...

I think I'll stick with my little adopted angel -
