i'm getting a lot busier at work now..which is good. it kills me to just sit there and not do much..and not be able to do much since i'm still training. this job change has been interesting. the hardest thing is to restrain myself from making quick changes to the codebase..like if i see something really easy to change that needs changing, i'd rather just do it myself. but instead, i have to make a request..and wait a few days before it gets implemented. i'm sure i'll get used to it...plus, there are so many things for me to learn.



sadly, a lot of people i know at work were either laid off or given 3-week notice last week...including my ex, matthew. [sigh] i hope this is a good thing for matthew..knowing how much he often disliked the policies at this company, and the way that they treated editors.



the days have been absolutely warm and sunny here in seattle. i just want to go out and play all the time.



i finally heard from thomas...which is nice. hopefully, we'll see each other soon. should be interesting as i'm afraid that i'll just be overwhelmed by feelings of sadness when i see him.



susan left last week to go on her big research trip and visit home for the next two months---boo! so sad. i've been hanging out a lot more with her lately...will miss her and can't wait til she's back!



oh, and i moved at work...back to an office, which i share with 2 people. the nice thing is that it's on the corner, so we have 2 windows. i sit right next to one where i can get a partial view of the central district. whoopee!
