update on things

Today finally moved into my new office - whew! At least I now have a 'permanent' abode. The space I had been occupying would have been very crowded next Monday as the new girl was scheduled to move in...

LONG conference call meeting with the boss this morning. I have to remember when on a conference call that nodding my head is not sufficient response. I revert to acting like one of my kids on the phone trying to show the person on the other end what the cat looks like:0)

Have a better sense of direction and although the staffing issue is trying (we are down 4 people), I feel more in control of what is happening. Am managing to get though the (fortunately) minimal contact with the boss with some grace. He is not my style of person...too smooth, too quick to react without thinking. He's a pinball bouncing from target to target. We also do not agree on some basic concepts - we'll get to that.

Kids are fine. The weekend was all soccer pictures, visiting camp ( a fantastic place that 6 is going to LOVE!!), and trying to capture 2 leopard frogs who have taken up residence in Great-Grandma's pool. The frogs eluded capture, but there was an extremely concerted effort made by all parties for a total of about 6 hours over Saturday and Sunday.

Next on the agenda is 4's dance recital this Friday. Four-year olds dancing to Dora the Explorer...should be great fun!
