The FUNNIEST thing happened today. Have I told you all that I'm in charge of maintaining my companies accreditation? Which has fallen into some serious disrepair since the last time we were surveyed a year ago, and that even then, we weren't in such great shape? But anyway, I'm trying to get a whole bunch of different logs together that document the stuff we do, and I had been assuming that I would be taking care of tracking a bunch of it, like patient surveys and infection tracking and that sort of thing. But I was in a meeting with the bosses today, and the owner told me, "you're a checker, not a doer." So I'm not supposed to actually keep any of the logs, except the one that says all the other logs are running. Not that patient surveys takes more than 2 hours a MONTH at the outside. And infection tracking is just marking who was gone what day, MAYBE 5 minutes a week. Now is that the craziness of management or what?

I think when money is involved, you just feel more motivated. Or maybe, it's that I've realized that I have to make something of myself now that the gravy-train has left the station.

I saw my first episode of Arrested Development. I was hilarious in a really scary kind of way. I can see why the critics like it and also why it doesn't get very good ratings.

I had a really good day at work for some reason. I was totally energized at quitting time, like I could have gone on longer. I spent some time today working on the Christmas cards that we're going to be sending out. Not enough time that you could say that I just got to do fun stuff. I spent more than an hour typing up a new form that wasn't cooperating. I think it was hard because I was making tables in Excel and then moving them to Word. And I was wondering why people use Excel so much. I'm just predisposed to use Word, and some people are more comfortable with Excel. I think I may be by the time this is all over. Anyway, too much information!

Third day of my new regime and holding strong.

Anyone interested in Harvey Danger? You can download their whole new album for free on their website. I'm listening to it now. I think I may have to buy it. It's pretty different from their first one, which I also have. My brother went to one of their concerts, apparently the lead singer likes to wear a tophat. And if you don't know who they are, they are a Seattle band who had a famous song in a movie. "Paranoia, paranoia, everybody's coming to get me...Put me in the hospital for nerves and then they had to commit me, you told them all I was crazy, they cut off my legs, now I'm an amputee, God damn you." I like that song.

Congrats to Uyen who has been posting regularly! Though I have to say that I got an invitation to that get-together jiggi-bob, um, last Wednesday. If you're going to invite me, you might as well give me time to get there.

I've started a new exercise regime. Sitting at a desk all day long is not helping my fitness level. The idea of sitting at a desk for the rest of my life is not helping my mental fitness level. I've gotta find something unconventional to do!

My credit union savings account gets just under twice as much interest as my bank savings account. Guess where I'm going to put my money. And my credit union will send out checks every month for all my bills. I'm kinda getting into this financial stuff, keeping track of everything, and making sure that my credit will be good...when I start making it into the credit report databases.

I finally finished the Moo book. Now I don't feel like reading ever again. Are you asking yourself whether I'm a pod person yet?
