Some days, I just feel chatty.

Wednesday morning, I threw my coffee cup at someone. It was an accident (and it was empty), but I'll bet she remembers from now on to wait until I've had coffee before bothering me in the mornings.

I got a name plate! I'm not sure I see the point of name plates when you live in cube-world, but it's a sign that they have accepted that I'm going to be here for a while. I don't have an Official Shirt or an Official Name Pin yet, but I'm told those are coming.

I've taken a certain amount of abuse for not taking the name plate out of the plastic. I explained to DebLor that I wanted to remain "pristine" but Gidget overheard and made vulgar remarks. Hmph.

No phone duty today! In some odd way I don't understand, the in-house picnic means that DebLor doesn't need to be relieved at lunch. I guess she's just going to carry the phone with her or something.

Anyhow.

Tomorrow's supposed to be glorious again. The R.C. and I have decided to wend our way back out to Southlands, the new "walking mall" we tried a few weeks ago. I need an Origins store--I read about some fantabulous face cream that I must buy. She wants to.... I don't remember. There was something she wanted. And we're going to try one of the restaurants we saw last time--maybe the crepes place, if I can talk her into it. Crepes! I haven't had crepes in ten years.

Sunday, of course, I will be doing laundry, cleaning house, studying for my certification, and working on my campaign reorganization plan.

Or, you know, reading one of my new books.

Or struggling through LostMagic, my newest DS game. It's a good game with a minimal but interesting storyline, but each stage is timed, and I'm having trouble getting through it in the time allotted. (Really annoying? The necessity of sitting through the programmed story dialogue every time I fail a task and have to retry.) The R.C. loaned me Lego Indiana Jones and I finished it last week. It was one of the most amusing games I've tried in a while.

I've been cleaning out my games and I have a bag full to get rid of. I guess I can turn them in to the game store for credit (they give you $1 a game). Most of them are ones I tried and never really fell in love with. It's a pity I don't know anyone who might like them. Maybe I'll ask my niece, Rapunzel, if she's interested in any of them. I'm not sure how big of an RPG fan she is.

45 minutes until mandatory fun. I guess I'll go do some work.

P.S. We're getting off early today, too!
