I've been with HLM five years today! Yes, five years ago today I ran madly all around MIT trying to get myself on the list for graduation, then went over to a rather younger HLM's apartment and hung out for a while... until, around 12:15 AM, I reached that critical point of "well... I should probably leave if I want to take the T home... or... I could..." and he said "You could stay here." Bonus points to me for already having packed my glasses and pills, having had a certain suspicion that might happen. :) So, something started, and it seemed pretty easy so we kept going, and now--fast-forward!--we're these cute married people and we love each other, and we don't get on each other's nerves all that often, considering. *laughs*
Work: I'm really being challenged at work at the moment. I mean that in mostly a good way. I'm working with someone else now, a new person who hasn't been slacking, which means my slacker ways are really being highlighted (in my mind at least), and he wants to get me into using a new IDE and build tool that I haven't used before. Frankly, at the moment I'm finding this new-found motivation to be very nice in itself, even if it is partly feuled by embarrassment or whatever... I don't care, I just want to get revved up again, so I'm going along with the IDE choice just because it's a chance to learn something new. If it makes the new guy think I'm a pushover, well, he'll learn better soon enough. ;)
Mood: zippy and sunny, actually! Some things are working out right and some other things seem to be on that road even though they aren' t there yet. And the sun came in my windows again this morning... and I have a date tonight...
Now, UGH. I've got to get all my addresses, schedules etc. together for going to Seattle. Can it really be that I'll spend tomorrow on another airplane? I'm still in denial. But apparently it really is happening... so... I'll see you all next Tuesday. By the way,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
savage_rose, I did work on those interview questions for a while last night, but they're just not ready to post yet. I'll try not to forget them entirely.
