Random notes.
Jun. 14th, 2002 03:38 pmIt's amazing how much it can lift one's spirits to be unexpectedly handed an envelope full of unmarked cash. More workplaces should institute this practice. Maybe I'll become a highly paid consultant by suggesting it to other organizations.
It's unexpectedly cold today - although Weather Underground did predict rain, they also predicted high temperatures in the upper 70s/low 80s. Nope. And both the clinic and the IHV have glacial indoor temperatures. My office has a thermostat on the wall, but it seems merely to be here as an outlet for my frustration. It's turned up as high as it will go, and still the fine hairs on my arms are standing up and my skin is dotted with goosebumps.
On the up side: I collected data today without seeing a single penis or hearing a single personally-directed sexual remark.
curiousangel and I are supposed to go to this Argentine tango thing tonight. I'm not feeling enormously enthusiastic right now, but surely it will be fun. How could the combination of a live orchestra for ballroom dancing, plus Argentinian wines, plus
curiousangel, not be fun? Also, wouldn't dancing be warming? ...We just haven't done ballroom in years - I hope we pick it back up smoothly. English dancing is of course very different.
Okay, that's probably enough diversion for now. Back to writing our granting agency a progress report.
