Greetings from a hotel room in Plano, TX

sorry to not have written in a week, things have been ridiculously crazy. to update, last tuesday i got transferred to a new team and a new dept and am now working part-time from home and part-time from plano, tx. yeehaw. yes, it seems like a good opportunity. no, i wasn't "asked" if i wanted this. supposedly it's a three month assignment, but everytime we (oh yeah, foreign girl is on assignment too) ask about the three months we get a differnent answer. tonight's answer was at least february. at least our new boss a) knows how to manage people - the last one literally had a personality change he was so happy he didn't have anyone reporting to him - and b) is honest about the timing. he told us he'd like to keep up for a new dept...whatever. i'm in it till i hate it. so, with my timing, that could be a week ;)

so tonight i'm in texas till thursday, then i turn around and come back on sunday night. thankfully, then i'm home for two weeks. gracie lou has been sentenced to camp bow wow for the week as mom fell and broke her ankle and got stuck in georgia - LONG story. she's never boarded somewhere where she'd have to sleep in a kennel. she was all excited to go to daycare this morning, i on the other hand, almost cried. i was "that girl" today who was all concerned about her precious pup. oh well.

i could write more about how our planed this morning was delayed almost two hours and that by the time we got to the office it was 4pm and new boss had us work on setting up our new wireless cards - the kind where i can literally get a wireless connection anywhere. super cool, but def a super leash for work. anyhoo, i could write about that, but i'm tired and am actually thinking about going to bed early - a new concept for me.

before i go, i need to give a HUGE shout-out to Leah and her Mom, Triple B, and their amazing job on our Halloween costumes. Leelee and I are going as the Jolly Green Giant and Sprout - oh yeah, I'm Sprout - and she and her mom made the most perfect, most hysterical costumes. (hmm, ricky from My So Called Life is on Raising the Bar) Thank you Lee!! They are awesome :)_
