Still need to sit down and call Rach and tell her I got engaged. I'm not sure what's keeping me from doing that. It's just one of those weird things.

Filling out student loan consolidation paperwork. I feel like these loans will never be paid off.

Mostly caught up on paperwork at the office. I need to write my monthly report, which I'll do tomorrow or something.

Working every Saturday in March. This makes me very grouchy. Cayne, if you were planning on coming down, let me know...you're welcome to come down and hang out in my office during training. I'm not teaching the whole time, only some sessions, so you and I can hang out, along with the other people. (My boss would love it if you came down-she's anxious to meet you, along with everyone else.)


(interlude-just got a super cool special project at work, to actually develop a real negotiation skills workshop. I've got bits and pieces on negotiation skills that I use, but now I get to actually present an entire session about it, and build it in such a way that I can train others to do it, or pass it on. Neat!)

Contemplating applying for a Price Fellowship for this summer. melebeth, rivka, I probably need your help with this-you guys are probably the best resources for helping me write an abstract for a research project. (The fellowship basics...CDC fellowship for people working in HIV prevention, which send you to Atlanta for a month to work on a research project relating to HIV prevention. CDC pays your living expenses in Atlanta for the month, your job agrees to continue to pay your salary while you're there, and there are a bunch of other conditions. They offer I think 6 fellowships each year.)

Reading this thread in polyamory makes me even more grateful I am for the support my friends have given for our decision to get married. Please keep reminding me that you are okay with it, and that you do support it. Especially with this mornings events, and the president backing a consitutional amendment to ban same sex marriages. (Interestingly enough, the CNN.com poll that asks if the Constitution should be amended to include a ban on same sex marriage is at this moment, 55-45 against an amendment.)

I will feel much better when I'm not stressing over money, as I am once again at this moment, and when I'm not worrying about finding a job near where I'm moving to.

Slept a bit better...six hours, woke up once or twice during the night. Six is much more reasonable.

Looking forward to the weekend already. Only a few more days.

So I'm doing some paperwork today, which involves going through our surveys. Our surveys ask a question about sexual orientation. The question has check boxes. We ask the people filling out the survey to check only one. One of the choices happens to be "other, please explain."

Someone checked the box for "heterosexual/straight/likes opposite sex"

and then, in the line for "other" wrote in

"normal"

Dad's coming around. Or something. He called me tonight to find something that he was having difficulty finding on the internet. The first thing he said was "congratulations, again." And I said "Thank you. You hadn't said it before, and I was kind of worried about how you were feeling." He did point out that he was happy for me, so long as I'm happy.

And we all know how happy I am.
