bouncy happy thursday

i scratched my watch again on my way home last night. i'm really upset about it, and there ain't nothin' i kin do.

i slept great, but missed my bus. i still made it on time to inspection... barely... and this time the big-boss discipline officer stopped, looked, and carried on without any response. cool.

today is the first day that the kid overslept. we got a call asking if he was in, and i called him before responding: he'd *just* gotten up, at 9am. a bit shocking, really :P

the dude's been pissing me off more and more, and i'm getting to the point where i'm ready to file a serious complaint. my teammates have been trying to get rid of him, too, so at least i'm not alone with this.

i was sitting with the branch secretary when our section's other TL walked past, and asked me if we were doing the marshmallow thing. i'd totally forgotten, so i hurriedly organized some, and we ended up making 11 cups of marshmallow hot chocolate in a single batch. fun, and appreciated ;)

by the time the kid had arrived, it had turned into a serious beach day. the serious beach day vibe got to me: immediate and powerful weekend dementia. i couldn't convince our entire team to go AWOL, so the kid and i went off for lunch to a great little sandwich shoppe on ibn gvirol, then to azrieli for ice-cream.

i finished neuromancer - superb. again. superb. [and so on...]

our branch commander walked in to inform us that we have a new programmer joining our team. i got all excited. and then i learned that he won't be replacing me. that SUCKS.

we spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning up, the kid and i went off for "supper", and then it was time for work.

the annoying coworker walked in earlier with his significant other. and she's extremely... umm... significant. and dog-butt ugly, too. the combination of the two of them sitting together is disquieting.

other than that, it's been swell. i've even got it together to give my mother general power of attorney of my affairs in sa... should'a done that a long, long time ago.

i'm good. i have written permission :)
this sounds cool.
photoshop. gotta be photoshop.
