Moving Day!!!!
Moving Day!!!!
I don't think I've been this excited about moving since... hell, I don't even know. Maybe never. Most of my stuff I haven't seen in over four months, and the rest of it I haven't seen in nearly three YEARS, since we left it behind when we went to Ontario. I get my wedding dishes back, I get all my BOOKS that I abandoned, and most importantly, I get a place of my own that I actually get to live in with my HUSBAND again. It's like a Christmas miracle in September.
Of course, not everything is perfect (because nothing ever is). We couldn't arrange for anyone to come and hook up internet for us before the twenty-first, which completely blows. We're hoping that we can pirate off someone nearby, but we aren't going to know whether we can or not until we try. So, wish us luck with that, for sure, but I might be a little scarce for the next couplefew days, between unpacking and being disconnected.
Still, this is huge and awesome and stuff, and it's the last day we're going to have to trap our cats in a single room and not let them run around. I've got a lapfull of purring Fubar right now, and I'm just so glad that they're going to be free to tear around again... this has been a really long, boring summer for them, and I've felt pretty guilty about it, even though it couldn't be helped.
In other news, I might have a job. Well, I'm pretty sure I have a temp job, at least, although the phone call was confusing as hell, and I've got a pending interview for the job I actually want, but it's all up in the air just because they're so swamped right now they don't have time to do the interview. So... yeah, just think good thoughts on that one, please *g*.
In a kind of related topic, I was hoping for like, tips for any of you who check internet from work. This is probably a completely stupid question, but is there any way to know if they're checking in on what you're checking online? How do you dodge any and all things that are NSFW, besides just being really careful?
I can't imagine that I've got a big crew of lurkers or anything like that, but if you do read me via friendsfriends or someone elses friendslist, either on journalfen or livejournal, I may start flocking things a bit more, particularly if I am talking about work. So if that's something you'd want to read, and you're not on my flist, or I haven't friended you back (because I'm a space cadet about things like that), just holler at me by email (jay.linden at gmail dot com) or comment here that you'd like to be friended. I'm not about to go friends only or anything like that because most of the time I just really can't be bothered, and I prefer being public with most things, but yeah. You get the point.
AH is already starting to give me sideways looks which I'm translating to mean 'Jay, we really need to put the computer in a box NOW', so I'd better scamper off here. I'm hoping to be back later on tonight, but if not, I'll be stealing the laptop and finding some hot spots so I can still manage to be around at least some. Worst comes to worst, you'll be stuck with me again come the 21st.
And, just to kind of start gauging interest, is there anyone out there who'd be interested in reading an Alternate Reality which is a blend of Firefly and Heroes? Think the Firefly 'verse, but with the characters from Heroes, superpowers included. You'll be hearing about this more soon, since Ash and I've writing it for awhile, but it'd be shiny to know if there's a potential audience *g*.
See you soon! *loves*
