WORK: Not bad. Not bad at all at the moment. Still a bit behind, but nowhere near as much. Not saying anything else so I don't jinx it. ;)

PACKING: Got nearly all the CDs in boxes. Doing the smart thing by only filling the boxes halfway with cds, because filling them all the way would just make them too damn heavy. Just need one more box for the errant ones hiding on the bookshelf, and will probably mix in the random bits and bobs I have in that general area along with them. This also means the two wood boxes are now empty and ready for my piles of writing and whatnot! :) ALSO--we need to fill out the inventory list for the movers to let them know what we have. Doesn't have to be a complete list, it's just more of an estimate on how many and how heavy.

MOVING: Well, my initial idea of moving stuff after work during the week didn't quite pan out, partly due to bad weather, partly due to working OT yesterday (and possibly today). However, we have all of Saturday and Sunday to move more stuff over. I'm sure we can get a goodly amount more over there before the weekend's through, then from there, it's just a countdown to next Friday!! :)

MUSIC: Today brought to you by 1988, of course. Listened to Big Pig's Bonk, The Church's Starfish, currently finishing off Peter Murphy's Love Hysteria, and on deck is the Mighty Lemon Drops' World Without End, Camouflage's Voices and Images and whatever else I can fit in. I should note that all these were released in the first three months of that year, so I'm not even close to some of my other favorite albums of that year. :p

CABLE: Dish Network, I love ya, but you're being a PITA to sign up for. On the plus side, you've got an office about five blocks away from our apartment, so I can stop by on Saturday to get something set up for next week. :) Comcast, your days are numbered!! ;)

Not too much happening here at the moment, as I have the day off today. This is going to be a quick month, as I also have next Thursday off for Thanksgiving, so I have to make sure I don't end up using this month as a goof-off period, which I tend to do when there are too many days off. In the meantime, just some random updates...

[Writing] Will most likely spend a good amount of time working on the LLB rewrite today, although I have this hankering to work on something different, either the trilogy or TCoDC. I hate my writing ADD...it's keeping my from getting things DONE, dang it!!

[Music] I came very close to buying the newly remastered dvd of Help! but stopped myself, thinking someone would most likely get it for me for Christmas. So I'll be good. On the other hand, I did spend some money at Amoeba on Saturday...I think the list of stuff I bought could easily be split up 50/50 me and Emm. Goes to show how much my music purchasing habits have changed... :p

[Work] Still haven't heard from the HR department as to whether or not I got the new position I tried out for the other week. Without going into too much detail, this job is more dealing with existing business clients who need paperwork/files/etc., rather than boring random customer calls. Will keep people informed on this once I find out! I'm pretty positive I've got a good chance on this job, but I'm not going to bring my hopes up too much. But I will say that I will be rightly pissed if I don't get it.

[Holidays] This is sooo weird...of course, since it's past Halloween, we're already seeing stores setting up for the Christmas season, despite the fact that it's not yet Thanksgiving. And despite my best efforts, somehow I find myself falling into the Holiday Spirit like I always do. Being busy at the job notwithstanding, I'm finding myself longing for the fun that is the Christmas season. Hell, even though I've worked in retail for years during that time (and worked four years in a warehouse with an insane fourth quarter), I still find it a lot of fun. I've a feeling I'm probably going to pontificate on this at some point closer to Christmas, but for now I'll just say that for me, Christmas season does not official start until I hear "Feliz Navidad" on the radio. ;)

[Vacations] Not sure when we're going to be heading out on vacations again, but for now I will definitely be trying to get some decent times off. The vacation lottery has started a bit early at work, and so I have to get my first choices in by the 19th, and I do have a few ideas of what times I want to get off. Hopefully at some point we'll be heading back to New England to visit family and friends in the new year...!

...

And that's it for now. Hope all is going well with everyone, and hopefully the weather isn't too bad for all my friends in the Seattle area!!
