back to normal

ahh... so nice to be back to my normal, boring life...

last week, i had guests at my apartment... chris's cousin, cherie, and her guy, don, were in town for a week... and they stayed with me... while it was nice having people around, i realized that i enjoy my space, and being able to do what i want, when i want, and not worry about inconveniencing anyone else... most of their time here, they spent doing the DC-tourist things... and i was at work... but in the evenings, i just like to go home, veg out on the computer, or in front of the TV watching mindless shows so i can just relax... but being the southern woman that i am, i would not allow this to happen... i felt like i had to be entertaining at all times, and let them "rule the roost" since they were guests... and frankly, it just wore me out... maybe i'm just not as good at this whole southern thing as i thought...

i'm not trying to complain, or say anything bad... but i'll definately think twice about having any guests (whether i know them well or not) for an extended stay... heck, even my family can get to me after a week...

things at work are moving along... this week we're wrapping up the projects that we've been working on... sadly, there's not really another one in sight... so maybe there will be a quick turn-around on these we're finishing and they'll get back to us for another review soon...

we have a new EE at work, though... i met him during his interview, and he's not made it here yet (orientation takes a while) but he should be in this afternoon... he has recently left the Air Force... and was stationed at Seymour Johnson (where chris will be soon)... so i'll get to ask him questions about all sorts of stuff... hope he's not an office nazi like my one office-mate...

my friend james got moved here just fine... i saw his place last week... it's small, but nice... just right for someone just starting out... we plan on getting together fairly often, so i'm psyched about that... sometimes, it just takes hearing a gay man call you "boobs" to cheer you up... hehe...

well, my lunch break is over... better get back to work...
