Good e'en, citizens! I am pleased and proud to report that last night saw my first fatigue-related eye twitch of the school year.

Today was my first day at Ye Olde Part-Time Job. I spent much of it struggling with Ye Olde Outlooke Express, because said program was giving me a dreadful time of actually contacting my mail server without giving me a million password screens, none of which accepted my password. In a small office with no tech support people, this can be a problem. But eventually I fixed it using my skills in magick and leechcraft, i.e. by going to the mail server's page and changing my password settings. And I sent two e-mails off about my first project, which was pretty much all I wanted to accomplish today anyway. I actually got to tick everything off my work to-do list. This is far from the case on my school/personal list, but whatever! Fantastic Sharon the admin lady included me on the coffee run, and it is things like that that make me happy, not petty little things like actually having time to sleep.

Sadly, I have not seen Kyle even once since last Saturday or so. We are both free Thursday, but there is a problem... The Office is on. And I am enough of a loser to want to watch TV instead of actually interacting with real people, people who are not fictional. So we shall see how that plays out. I suspect Team The Office will come out on top, though, because they've got a little help from Team Jessica Must Study for International Affairs Quiz Tuesday.

This weekend is going to rule. Diane is coming in from London (Ontario, that is) on a flying visit, just because we both had the weekend relatively free. She's staying at her aunt's for a night and then she will be wined and dined chez nous. She is the first of the Al Birda friends to experience my pad and the delights of the futon! How exciting! We will show her a good time.

And so, with happy thoughts in mind and a completed econ assignment in hand, to bed!
