kitanzi | Scattered thoughts

Just a few bits and pieces, because I'm still here but I still don't have a whole lot interesting to say.

They didn't make it in time for Protection from Porn week, but our Queen of Wands Tshirts came in today and I love them! They have this on the fronts - white on black for ACat, white on gray for mine: http://www.queenofwands.net/d/20030328.html

Work is going well - took my first calls today, with someone sitting and prompting me at nearly every turn but I did. I'll have backup for the rest of the week, then next week I'm on my own and watch out! (End of the year training then, too.... headfirst into the firestorm, to hear the rest of them. We're getting temps in, too, for about a month. I'm finding it much more pleasant to be on this side of that equation this time.) I do still like this job, but I'm still in a weird headspace that veers drastically and rapidly from "This is too easy for what they're paying me for it" and "This has toooooo much detail, I can't do this, I'm gonna screw it up." I know perfectly well that it's somewhere between, but the extended training period, without any real tests or ways to check how well I'm assimilating what I'm learning, or if indeed I'm learning anything at all or just nodding and going UH HUH leaves me feeling very insecure. Taking the calls is helping a bit - I do need a lot of prompting, but I can feel things sliding into place, and this makes me feel much better. The much, much nicer paychecks don't hurt either. >:)

We have a cat now - Dayna, the cat ACat has in his icon. She's a sweet kitty, but since she's always been indoor-only, apparently she never got fixed. Apparently she's in heat. Apparently she's getting fixed damn quick when she's done. Cats in heat are damn annoying. Ap-PAR-rently! (Sorry, gratuitous Coupling reference. Oh yeah, we got the second season on DVD, too! Much Fun!)

ACat finished all the major location moving for work as of tonight - at least, I think so. The office remains to go, but that should be doable without him being dragged out of his comfy bed next to me, and off to the office to do midnight moving madness. I think I'm almost as happy about that as he is.

The con crud is essentially gone, FINALLY, but the cough lingers. If it lingers past this weekend, I'm going to the damn doctor's to get Something Done. I dunno what, but I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. No kidding.

Off to bed!
