Yesterday? Sunny and a balmy 82 degrees.

Today? Snow and 45 degrees.

Spring in Colorado is manic depressive.

I've been on the diet for three days. I'm starving of the hunger and haven't lost an ounce yet. So typical.

Last Thursday, I spent two hours doing really arduous work--a smattering of web reading and then writing a two-page description of what a blog is, how you do it, and why it's a good idea to have a company one. (And a few of the pitfalls.)

Friday was twice as arduous. Five hours spent researching and writing a five-page document on why we should redesign our website, what new features we should have, and a mockup of a new home page with a new design, describing colors, layout, and functionality. (They won't use it, and they shouldn't. I'm anything but a designer.)

The point is, I got paid for roaming around online, reading bits and pieces of interesting things, and then creating a document repeating and condensing the ideas.

Some days, this job really doesn't suck.

This week, we're bearing down on the deadline for the Next Level Plan, and it's all not quite so much fun, but it's still pretty cool.

Gidget's working from home today, finishing up the last bits and pieces of the NLP.

I think she's getting pretty tired. She's passing out compliments. First, she mentioned that Penelope thinks I'm a "great writer." (From the draft of a marketing plan? How easy is she to impress, anyhow?)

Then she said that it looked like we were going to be sailing with the Argonuts for a while and that she "loves" working with me. That's so sweet!

I mean, considering that I never got the "new-hire evaluation" there was so much talk about. But feedback is feedback, right? And, all sarcasm aside, it's very nice to have people say positive things about you.

And now I've been writing this entry for 20 minutes and I'm getting twitchy. Because I'm also a little wiggy about blogging or blog-reading from the office. I suspect they're using a keystroke capture program of some kind.
