Oh no! It’s pizza day.

So today is pizza day at Bright Horizons. For 2 weeks now, Vince has been OK with leaving before the pizza was served at noon. Today was different. He really, really, really wanted to stay and he threw a tantrum to prove it. We asked if there were extra slices and the answer was no… He was so distraught, he peed in his pants on the way home.

On a more adult note, I was invited to the German expat morning “English coffee hour” and had a lovely time. We had tea and scones an homemade bread and butter. Also we played Boggle which I have to say, even though my English is fluent, the Germans were not to shabby.

Busy Studying.

Wow. A Flurry of interviewing action. Apparently I’ve got some sort of talk/interview with 3 companies in the next 3 working days. Weird. I have a lot of studying to do. laff.

Whoops. I almost forgot about my classes too. hrm. strange. Well the schedule works out anyways. hrm. I’ll have to remind myself about it from now on.

Thing with Joceyn are better. We talked last night and now we’re not pissy at each other at least – even tho nothing really got decided as usual.

Okay. I’m going to eat some cereal now.

Vincent and Phillip Kiene. Phillip’s parents just moved from Dresden, Germany to New York two weeks ago. Philip is going to have a little brother or sister in about 5 months! Philip only knows German and Vince only knows English. But somehow they both learned to communicate “Mine!” to each other.

Just Woke Up From a Nap.

Hrm. I think I’m a bit funky right now. I should be studying for that Nvidia interview but I don’t have much energy right now for some reason. But I’ll get to it in a minute I think.

I had lunch today with an old co-worker from Sun. She’s just had a kid at the age of 38. It’s pretty impressive an apparently it was a harrowing experience since there were all these complications. She’s sorta helping me get some more contacts and such since she’s a pretty good networker. Plus she’s really good at all this political stuff and has some good perspectives on job hunting and the job market in general.

Anyways I have to decide what I want to do for a job. A lot of places right now seem to want to work you to death, and I’m not sure how into that I am. I mean if it’s all that I got then maybe it’s what I have to swallow but having a life would be nice too.

I joined the TKGA and I’m taking a corespondence course, “Learning to Knit” Here are my samples that I’m mailing to Ruth Knox for evaluation. From the upper left going across, you have the basket knit, the single rib + increase knit, the single rib + garter knit, the double rib knit, the seed stitch, the stockinette stitch, the garter stitch, and the stockinette stitch with decrease.
