boom goes the dynamite...

       i know perfectly well what the date is. 3 july. but still, for some reason, i couldn't figure out why my boss said she isn't coming in tomorrow. her grandbaby is due on saturday, so i just naturally assumed that she might be busy with her daughter. and yes, i knew that the fourth was coming up. the frats have been setting off fireworks for the last two weeks, for goodness' sake. i think i've been spending too much time in my own head, the only intelligent conversation being, of course, with the voices that speak to me there.

       so i don't think i announced it here yet, but the job i wanted -- director of this ill-fated and currently very empty house -- is mine. i went on the payroll tuesday and have a july-long transition period before i take over on the first of august. and i think i'm happy about it. i honestly didn't think i would get it, but apparently i did, so i hope that this is where i'm supposed to be. already there have been a few ... incidents. one potentially major. but we'll see what happens. there's a lot up in the air right now. i'm sure it will all work out.

       i was intending this to be a much longer post. but now that i'm here i'm feeling kinda tired and my bed is looking awfully inviting. i think i'll jump in. everyone go read the twilight series. it's amazing. happy fourth of july!
