Hi. How Goes?

[dcseain]

Apologies in advance for my overtired and nearly-addled brain's lack of flow and coherence.

My mood, as benhill observed, has improved since i started working. Structure to life is good.

I worked my first weekend, which was a gentle way to end up on the phones. M, D, and i make up the current Black Team Group II. Both M and D have been great about helping me with things. M works much harder than D, and i've been trying to learn from him, though there's much i may not do until my level 2 clearance comes through, which is some months off.

Monday and Tuesday i plan to, in no particular order: help muzikmaker21 complete his move, get a haircut, see The Simpsons Movie, do 2 loads of laundry, and work 6 hours.

I learned today that IBM's time reporting tool requires me to enter hours in excess of 40 as overtime. I learned this because this is the first week in which i'll work more than 40 - looks like 54.

The cats, and the dog, were all very happy to see me today, and the rabbit did not run away when i gave him more kibble and hay.

Oh, and any of you have why the Spanish-speaking customers are always so much happier, or at least expressive of their happiness, with their dealings with me than the Anglophones and Francophones are?

I think I'm going to finish stuff on Tuesday. There's really not a whole lot left (two van trips tops, really), but your help would certainly be appreciated and I haven't seen you in FOREVER. Also, if you're into it, there's trivia night at Frisco in Columbia from 8:30-11:00pm. You'd probably enjoy that quite a bit.

Tuesday works. Though I need to be at work at 07:00 on Wednesday, so i want to be in bed not much later than 22:00.

i think the spanish-speaking cultures are just much more effusive than the anglos or the francs . .. .they have much less of a sense of entitlement, too. :-0

I think Spanish-speaking people see learning their language as an honest effort to get to know and value them. Anglophones in many ways see it as a necessity, not a courtesy. I'd offer my opinion on the Francophones but it would contain a hint of prejudice, so. ;-)
