Good work news

My boss called last night and asked if I could stay on through the end of January.

I said yes.

This is good for the short term, of course--I continue to have a job in a convenient location, for a boss I like working for. It's also good for the longer term, because it'll be easier to get that hoped-for job on the company's national social studies program if I'm applying from inside.

The office was closing early today; Edie gave me the option of staying until my normal 6:00, or anything in between. I decided this was the perfect opportunity to get the golden Assam tea, stop off for basil (and, as it turned out, toasted onion bits and lemon curry) down the street at Aphrodisia and chocolate at Varsano's, and get to the gym. Mark Varsano charmed me: when I said I wanted "a half pound of this and that" he got out the box and said "orange peel." He was right, of course--I always get some chocolate orange peel, because cattitude is so fond of it.

Then I went to the gym, where I added ten pounds to my leg press without meaning to, and without noticing until I was removing the weight plates.
