3-POINT WEEKEND SHOUTING THREAD WHERE YOU ASK TL ANYTHING! What can I say? I'm in a giddy mood. →[More:]

1. ME TO BOSS AT THE END OF A CATCH-UP MEETING: "SAY, CAN I BE YOUR EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT NOW INSTEAD OF YOUR RESEARCH ASSISTANT?" BOSS TO ME: "SURE, IT'S WHAT I'D PREFER ANYWAY." DING! I HAVE NOW LEVELED UP INTO EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT-SHIP AND AM THUS LAYING DOWN THE GROUNDWORK FOR AN EPIC RAISE IN A YEAR!

2. HAVING A NEW BOYFRIEND HASN'T LOST ITS APPEAL YET, MOSTLY BECAUSE SINCE HE HAS TO TAKE CARE OF HIS 15-YEAR OLD SON DURING THE WEEK, WE ONLY GET TO SPEND FACE-TIME TOGETHER OVER THE WEEKENDS! WE'RE GOING TO SEE THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO THIS SUNDAY (1ST FOR HIM, 2ND FOR ME) AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO GO GROCERY SHOPPING IN CHINATOWN AND I WILL TOTALLY MAKE PANCIT PALABOK BECAUSE I'VE NOT MADE THAT IN SOFAKING LONG AND THEN WE'LL EITHER SNUGGLE LOTZ FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT OR I'LL DO SOME WRITING AND WE'LL SNUGGLE AND I HOPE TO GOD THAT WE ACTUALLY GET SOME SLEEP BECAUSE EVERY TIME WE'RE TOGETHER IN PERSON WE BARELY SLEEP BECAUSE WE'RE ACTUALLY TALKING HOURS INTO THE NIGHT!

3. ACK! FORGOT TO GET E-NEWSLETTER APPROVAL, BUT WILL GET PASSPORT PHOTOS DONE TONIGHT (HOPEFULLY)! AND TOMORROW? I TACKLE CLEARING OFF MY COFFEE TABLE! (OMINOUS SOUNDS)

1) I'm counting down the days til I fly to England. I'm so excited! Meetups galore. Whee!
2/ work is insanely busy though. I've got mulitple meetings every day until the day I fly out, and heaps of desk work to do also. Sigh.
3: new house is going well! I'm liking living alone while my flatmate is away, but looking forward to hanging out with her and a new kitten!!! When she gets back. Elly (betony) and a friend from school are coming over soon and we're going to explore the area. Lots of cheap food etc apparently. Yesss.

P.s no shouting, because I'm on my phone and it's too hard to do caps. Sigh.

1. BIO FINAL TUESDAY AND OH GOD HALP

2. JUST HAD MY INTERVIEW FOR THE BIOTECH PROGRAM AND, WHILE I'M NOT LETTING MYSELF GET TOO HOPEFUL, THEY DIDN'T SEEM AS AGHAST AT MY DISMAL GRADE HISTORY AS I FEARED. I'M IMPRESSED AT THE THINGS THEY'RE ATTEMPTING TO DO, AND MAYBE... WELL, I'LL FIND OUT NEXT MONTH.

3. DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT THIS MORNING. AMUSED TO HAVE MY SUSPICION (THAT MY BP TAKES A SHARP DIP UPON WALKING INTO A DOCTOR'S OFFICE) CONFIRMED BY A SECOND AND THEN THIRD READING, NOT SO AMUSED TO HAVE ABOVE-NORMAL PRESSURE. SCORED THE REFERRALS I NEED, AND AM AS OF TODAY BACK ON MEDS (MOOD, ATTENTION). POSSIBLY THE IDEA OF HAVING A BETTER LIFE CAN TURN INTO SOMETHING OTHER THAN AN IMPLAUSIBLE ABSTRACTION.

...ACTUALLY, SINCE I ACCIDENTALLY TOOK A DOUBLE DOSE OF WHAT IS ALREADY A LARGISH DOSE OF ONE OF THE PILLS, MY MOOD IS RATHER CAPSLOCK. BUT IN A GOOD, ALBEIT FREAKY, WAY.
