you're gonna make it after all

I figured my law school friends could use a study break, so here is a timely update.

Wednesday was my last day at the plant. I was really sad to go and was delighted that so many of my engineer friends came to my farewell lunch. I even got to sit with 3 of my favorites, so that was a plus. Unfortunately, I had to have one FINAL "development dialog" with my (now former!) boss. The only thing I hate is when she goes on and on about my "humorous demeanor" and that I need to be "more poised and understand that not everyone will appreciate my quirks". It always makes me mad because I feel like she's basically saying "your personality sucks and everyone will hate you the way I do." Lucky for her I don't tell her what I think of her personality.

Moving on, I started here at One Houston Center (OHC for short). It's pretty sweet. My cubicle neighbor is adorable and chats with me all day. New boss is equally adorable and isn't here today because he went to see the Rolling Stones last night. I loooove him. I don't technically have any work to do, so all I've done so far is read some background material. Also we randomly went to Starbucks downstairs mid-morning (holiday drink fix!) and we can walk to all sorts of charming places for lunch. My latest idea is to move to the super-sweet Rice Hotel lofts. I can see them from my window (best view ever!) and I can either ride the metro or walk through the tunnels to work if I move there...hmmm.

Tonight is Amee's birthday fiesta. We are going to this restaurant with belly dancers, so perhaps I will be able to utilize all the "skills" I picked up in those classes. I definitely have the tummie for it.

Tomorrow I go visit boy in Austin. He's real great. Sigh. (End of gush)

My house is a mess. Tonight I bake pecan pies (yes, all you hot boys out there, I am a corporate tycoon AND I can cook/bake/bellydance...you should be pursuing me if you're not already) then I go to party.

aggg, did I not put "and guest" on the invite? Sooooo sorry. I would love to meet this guy that makes you so happy! I already have one friend mad at me that I didn't send her sister an invite, so I now I am scared what else I have done wrong.
