gimme cookie!

yeah... and i'm dying for a cookie. sorry orangutans, i come first. period. (is this true? sounds like a load of bollocks to me.)

anyway, i'm going to keep the reason for my cookie-deserving status for the end of this post. last night, i got home to discover that they didn't move my desk (sod it), and they managed to return my washing machine... in two pieces. i have some leverage now :@ (did i need more?!)

i slept on my bed, which was a definite improvement. in the morning, i collected my laundry... so i have clothes again. another improvement.

[moved to the end of the post]

i arrived on base around 2pm, had a girly salad for lunch, and learned about the kid's situation. not so good, but he's now able to join us in our hunt for an apartment. the more the merrier :P

the afternoon was spent sorting things out, planning, and wishing everyone a happy new year. i had a long chat with the girl i posted about last night, and i told her that if everything goes well for us with the apartment hunting, and she isn't sorted out by then, she's welcome to join us.

the bus to work was PACKED. solidly. made for an interesting journey :S

i just had a heart-to-heart with the boss, and we went over the workplan. overloaded! but at least i have priorities now. i then had a chat with my SC over the phone. he's such a good guy, i really haven't ceased to be amazed by him.

and i just spoke to spot - who's not impressed by the apartment arrangement thing. it's not his fault that i'm in the mess i'm in... is it? spot, if you'd been ready to move -before- you left... ;)
anyway, necessity dictates.

assuming that nothing too interesting will happen this weekend - *prays* - the week is over, and i'm planning on relaxing and enjoying it. and fuck them.

[cookie deserved for:]

i spent the morning in an introductory course for real-time programming. for the first time ever, i managed to sit through a 3.5 lecture *IN HEBREW*... not only did i understand what was going on, but i didn't lose my cool! and it was bloody interesting
^_^
*i'm* really proud of myself, at least >D

happy new year!
