I have no one to jog with this morning, so I'm skipping my regular Saturday jog. Which is a good thing coz I intend to write an unusually-long blog today. Got my laptop, a mug of chocolate, a comfortable couch, so here goes.
Crying over my balloon -
Trying to give frustration expression

Do I handle such things any better now that I'm older? Maybe not... And maybe this is not the time to think about the greener side of life. Being an adult isn't all that it's cracked up to be.

Well, here I am. One AM and still in the office. Me and the guys have been working late at the office for a couple of days now, rushing some of our deliverables which we thought we had about two or three more weeks before they come due.

Thought I'd be jogging alone today, or
Seems it's my day for indulging in girl clichés

I woke up late today. Well, actually, I haven't slept much. Still a little too jazzed about the news I received yesterday, I guess.
I got in early yesterday morning - I was in the office by eight (It's sorta become like a routine lately, this coming to work early, 'Coz I was a little anxious about our project - in a couple of days, it'll be ready for application testing, and then UAT.), so I decided to surf a while and log on to BCTS and my other favorite sites as well as check my email while I waited for the troops to come in. And lo and behold, one of my BCTS friends, whose name I will not mention, was online and logged on in Yahoo. (See, Aunt Andrea? I didn't mention your name... ooops! heehee)

Mother's Day, or
Another humdrum mother's day dinner with the folks, in other words, it was a wonderful day

I went to my mom n dad's this Sunday, for Mother's day, and it was just a normal Mother's day. Nice lunch, regular, light family talk. The expected mother's day gifts. Cake and coffee, and then home. Very boring. Very routine. In other words, it was wonderful.

Sucker for punishment, or
Yes, it's cold, it's windy and it's been raining. But I'm jogging anyway

Yep, I'm back from my self-imposed vacation from writing blogs. And I am enough of an egotist to assume that people missed my blogs. (Yes, indeed, I DO suffer from delusions of self-importance. Heehee)
Had a bit of a "thing" happen, and it's made me think about taking a bit of a break from the world of the Big Closet. But be cool - the blog (and me) is coming back to the Top Shelf in about a week. In the meantime, have a cup of coffee, or in this case, a mug of hot chocolate, on me.

Nothing much to write about today's boring workday,

I think I mentioned the guy in one of my earlier blogs - you know? That manager that started the whole standard documentation brouhaha? Well, he asked me to lunch today. Yeah, I know.
You know that hackneyed old phrase, "waking up on the wrong side of the bed?" I don't know the etymology of the phrase, but I know what it means. And I think I did indeed wake up on the wrong side this morning.
