Bemused

Today started a half our before my alarm went off. My phone was ringing, it was Gio wishing me a Happy Valentines Day. *That* was a good start to today :) I spent the rest of the morning spreading the Virtual Valentines cheer amongst my friends.

When I got to work, Lisa wasn't here (yes!) but neither was Debra (boo), but that's not too unusual for Deb to be late. Lisa, it turns out, is still out sick, which means I can relax and enjoy the day. But Debra still hasn't called in or showed up, it's noon, and the decision has already been made that she's fired. It's a shame really, she and I were just starting to really get along, she even offered to help me "girlify" myself, since I definitly will need some help. I'm going to try to retain the friendship, I have her yahoo id. I just hope she's ok, because while she was often late before, she usually calls in. I think everyone agrees that she DESERVES to be fired, and probably should have been a long time ago... but given that there's only 2 weeks of work left for us, and that Lisa knows Deb just signed the lease for a new house, I think it's a little cruel to terminate her now.

On to good news... Dan, the recruiter who got me this job, just stopped in to let me know that he's looking for something else for me. He's pretty frazzled that this one ended so soon, feels bad about it, and is pretty much begging me to give him another shot. Which I'm happy to do, although it won't stop me from looking myself also.

I believe I will splurge for lunch today... made an easy $20 selling that scanner yesterday, so I'm goin' to Chik-fil-A!

As for plots and such, I came up with a whole spate of cool ideas this morning, many of which are quite creative... and evil ;) All involve a little bit of groundwork tho... so unless I come up with something quick and easy it looks like Pat's safe for the time being.
