prosodicToday has been incredibly beautiful. Bright, sunny and warm...the kind of day you'd expect to see in Seattle in late summer, rather than late spring.
The time I spent at work isn't particularly noteworthy. Except to say that all my clients were transferred to other specialists today. I no longer have clients. That feels weird. And kind of sad, actually. I really cared a great deal for some of them and had an interest in the work they were doing. I'll still call the clients who are on my schedule for tomorrow, even though they're not mine anymore.
So yes, I am going to work tomorrow. I'm in the middle of a project that I need to finish up. It would be horribly unfair and mean of me to drop this on somebody else, especially as I started it. I have unstarted projects to do that will just have to get dumped on somebody else. It's a fact of life with this job. There is never a time without projects.
Anyway...I spent my lunch hour outside. We have a nice area between the twin office buildings that make up our complex. There's a fountain, a couple park benches, tables and chairs with umbrellas. The umbrella'd tables were already taken, so I had to sit out in full sun. I got very lightly burned...as Kathy calls it, a "cute Seattle sunburn." Because it's hard to get anything other than pink here. But I enjoyed it. I read for a bit. I ate some salami slices with cheese and crackers. I felt truly peaceful and relaxed. It was hard to go back inside.
This evening, I came home from work (traffic was good and I actually got home a few minutes earlier than normal), and Lance had taken it upon himself to order pizza for dinner. After dinner, we walked down to the park, which was empty, and played fetch with Reece for about half an hour.
Now I'm going to write for a bit.
There's a lunch tomorrow...Sigga offered to take me to lunch. I asked her if we could invite a few other people. My tally was around 4-5 people for lunch. Somehow, it ended up being at least 10. I have no idea what happened. Sigga must've invited more people. So now it's turning into some big farewell lunch that I hadn't foreseen. I really want to go to Applebee's, and we're concerned about service being slow and not getting back on time (well, everyone else is concerned...I couldn't care less)...but now we have a team lead coming with us, so perhaps that means we can get away with it. I don't know. Right now, we're going to Chopstick Teriyaki. And I like it, but it's really too small for all of us and Applebee's is more of a celebratory atmosphere. And I feel like celebrating, dammit.
