I’ve been sluggish most all day, with the exception of putting together a submission for workshop. Considered writing down some things about my weekend, but that made me sad. I’ll be fine soon enough, I just need to mope and brood. I came into work and immediately was descended on by the in-your-face nervous nellies who are my office neighbors. 5 o’clock can’t come soon enough, I think. Then I am saved – my boss wants to meet with me briefly. With good news. And you know, its hard to know if ‘good news’ in corporate speak is always good news, because it could be something like, “congratulations, you’ve been chosen for this long, involved tedious project and we’re giving you a $5 gift card to a place you don’t go as thanks!” However, this was authentic good news. I’m now getting paid time off. Starting March 1st, but possibly because I’m ‘paid in arrears”, it would be retroactive such that the vacation I just took would get me paid hours. This is very good news. I can now be sick or go on vacation and not have to live off credit cards to do either.

Now I’m a bit less mopey. Now my office mate is gone for the evening. Now I can write a little about it.

Miami!
