stormdogEvil Bob got an offer from my company today for a help desk position supporting external clients on our software which includes a small amount of travel to customer sites and rotating 24 hour on-call, which nets him extra money on those weeks. I'm very happy for him! And for myself too, since I'll be able to keep car pooling with him. He's going to be working later than I am now, a nine to six shift as opposed to my eight to five, but my manager sounds more than willing to let me match my hours to him.
I've debated a little about whether I want to change hours, and I think I do. I worried at first that I'd lose an hour more a day by sleeping in and have even less time to get stuff done, but I think I'd probably make up for it by staying up later. I'll be a little better matched to my sweetie's schedule and the money saved on gas is a really big factor as well, especially now.
I'm also looking forward to the referrel bonus that I should be receiving once he's been there for thirty days.
I feel like Windy is hardly over and now I'm going out to MFF tomorrow evening! I'm looking forward to seeing people again, and to my long weekend. I also find myself very much looking forward to my Thanksgiving road trip to Michigan with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wooisme. A two day work week after MFF, and then four days to share the peace and solitude of the road with my beloved to put my mind at ease after two weekend of chaos and bustle. I've really missed spending the occasional few days out a car with her, especially after having been unable to follow through on my plan to visit Pennsylvania with her this summer. Regardless of worries about family-induced angst, I plan to thoroughly enjoy the trip.
It's been so cold in the house this week. I'm debating turning the heat up to sixty-five or so. I hate to use more energy, and it's really not too much for me deal with except in the morning. Right after I wake up and, nude, climb out of bed, is a difficult time for me to deal with too much sensory input. I have to get my brain put together after sleeping and it's difficult to deal with strong sensations like the cold of the room. In fact, I've never really thought about it before, but maybe that's one of the reasons I tend to be a very slow riser when I can afford to be. Maybe I like to have a while to work on integrating input streams before I get up and have to start dealing with them all at once.
Anyway, that's one of the reasons why I don't shower in the mornings, choosing instead to do it just before bed. Having cold wet hair dripping on me while I get ready for work would be nearly intolerable. *sighs* As much as I love to go walking bare-pawed in the snow, on the whole I just don't like winter much. Andrea, on the other hand, stifles in the heat of the summer. At least we can be happy in the spring and fall...
I need to get my financial records up to date before MFF, so that's what I'm off to now. 'Till later...
