Goodbye October

I know pronounce the crazy month of October over (well, almost...) Let the celebrations begin!

The last of the tons of work finished today with a 3 hour test. Yeah, right, who am I kidding, Monday I'll be right back at it, beginning with a 5 hour meeting at Lockheed that starts at 730 am. Joy.

But, at least this weekend doesn't have to be spent doing work. The itinerary: party tonight, tailgate tomorrow, game, party, recover/get ready for surgery on Sunday.

I know I'll be swamped with stuff when I'm back at work/school from surgery, but I'm hoping just having it will help me feel better all the time and I'll be more productive since I won't feel like crap all the time. I hope.

15 days after the surgery I'm travelling with my research team to D.C. for a workshop/conference thing. It's at the national convention center, we're staying in Tyson's Square (I think). The good news is that I'll get a chance to attempt to visit my soulmate!! I don't care if it's the middle of the night. Melissa, you've been warned! Oh, and maybe my good friend Cameron too, but I forsee myself swamped with work.

What's even better is that not only do I get to share a room with my most favoritest co-worker, I now have discovered that we are expected to share a bed. According to my boss, this will work because "she's big and you're little." Yeah right, I don't understand how anyone else is expected to be able to fit on the bed. Two kind souls have already offered air mattresses... I'm going to take them up on it.

I wish this sore throat/earache thing would go away so I can party to the fullest of my abilities! I'm going as Hillary. Bill Clinton for First Lady '08!
