Since it seems to be the order of the day..

Further adventures in the work computing world have re-commenced, as issues with my copy of Adobe Acrobat have prevented me from doing more file jockeying. Oh well. So sad. Can't you tell?

And I am now going to the office party, as Jeff has gallantly offered to be my escort for the evening. Which should be a lot more fun and a lot less nerve wracking than going by myself. Plus, in speaking about the party, I managed to confirm my suspicions that one of my bosses, Laura, is also a Buffy person. (She's asked to borrow my tape of the new ep on next week during the party). So I will be networking after all, as per nrrrdygirl's suggestion. ;)

Had an interesting time coming home last night - an injured passenger at 42nd street caused my train to be stuck directly behind it for half an hour, which I spent talking to two very nice, friendly people about many things, and our conversation continued all the way to my stop. The neat/weird part was that one of the women I was talking to (there was two women & 1 guy until 34th, then one woman left) looked so much like zyll that it was more than a little off putting. And it reminded me about how much I miss her, and wish she lived closer. (She was cool - she worked for Social Services, and was going to Kings Plaza to look at mattresses because she's getting married next week and is trying to set up her apartment.)

But yeah, stuff. And now I just got a HUGE pile of mail to sort through, so that's the end of this post. I have to go out at lunchtime and see if I can procure Jeff's christmas present. He has mine, and now I have to figure out what in the hell I'm getting him (even though I have some ideas).


I had to know also...

Which Avril Lavigne Song Are You?

glad to hear you'll be networking...hehehe...is your boss Laura going to the party too? If so she'd be perfect for introducing you around... =)

I believe she is. Plus I think some other people I'm getting to know from the department (or know from others) will be there too. But that would have been just peachy if it was just HC. But with Newscorp, it's going to be about 3,000 or even more. .__. So it's a bit scary.

Don't worry you'll be great... =) Not like you have to get up in front of a huuuge crowd and introduce yourself. It's just meeting a few new people, that's all.

eeep! @_@ I hope not!! But it should be lots of fun.

Now I just have to stop my brain from inserting the Barry Manilow song everytime I think of 'Copacabana.' grrrr...
