Tomorrow, I have to help give a skype tour about 3d printing to a group of grade three students. I have no idea how this is going to go!

I am already experiencing pushback for certain things and coinflicting vision things. *sigh* Day 3! Also complete lack of vision things. Well, we'll sort it out, probably.

Less cool is me pointing out that MCTguy is trying to bully me about billing things. Grr. How do deal? He might be right, maybe it isn't worth making a deal out of in this case - I don't know, I barely know the rules at this point. Bah. I tell myself it doesnt mater because we aren't going to be keeping it, but.... what else are we going to to with a million dollar machine that had to be installed via a crane? Well okay I have some ideas on that front, but we'll see. Push it into the creek has often been proposed but never yet implemented. At least it seems to be working now. For now. Ish.

Anyway. I've actually been feeling pretty alert/awake in the evenings so far. And tomorrow is Friday woooh! So I am transitioning okay. I had a meeting on campus this morning though that went well - I hit it off with the woman reviewing my benefits stuff really well, so it was...kind of fun? But I suppose that is literally her job, so - good on her! Also I was in the middle of drinking a giant tea.

Non-work things: I've been bad at Weather this week. Yesterday I wore my rain boots thinking it was supposed to pour, and it hardly rained at all and never while I was out. Today I wore my new sandals (I got Teva Tirras because they had good reviews and were relatively cheap - bets on whether they last me the summer!), and it was rainy *and* cold. I really need to just wash the mud off my boots so I can wear them again :P I didn't get rained on until my way home, at least, but I'd decided to go out to dinner since the fam was going out practically as I'd have been arriving for an event at the kids' school, and it BUCKETED as I was getting off the bus to that end. The sandals are fine in water, but my pant legs got wet and it was cold :( I got home, dried my feet, put on wool socks and my rubber boots, and had to take the dogs out. I really really need insoles for the boots though! Ahh well.

Also I write a star wars drabble: Symbol. It is not what I was meaning to write, but I still like it. It is about why Jedi always cut perfect circles with their light sabers. Wheee!

I still have no cake. If it hadn't been pouring and the dogs hadn't been waiting, I may have gone searching. Another time, I guess!

Of course, the movers never came, and never called. Apparently, despite the fact that I called the dispatch line and left two messages with Dina's number *and* e-mailed (replied, in fact to her e-mail asking for a contact number) the agent with whom 'd made the booking, they didn't have it changed in the system. So they've been 'trying to contact me' for days, at the wrong number. I tried to get Hazel to check that number for mesages for me, but she couldn't. Anyway. I finally got ahold of them. And they are coming on Friday. This caused me a huge panic, as I am leaving here tomorrow, at 7AM (but not getting in to CS until 10, oh joy of joys).

Fortunately, Dina is awesome, and when she came to chekc how things were going and found me an utter wreck, she said she would deal with things for me on Friday. So I owe her huge. I am mostly destresed now after hugs, kittens, pool, and a nap. She will probably be home soon, and then I will have something to eat other than toast and an ice cream sundae.Oh and peanuts, whihch was the only food at my house. You know, the place with no power or air conditioning, etc, where I've been staying the past two days in the hopes of seeing the moving truck appear.... -_-

So now I am just tired, and hungry, and not looking forward to tomorrow's day full of airports. The longest stayover is in Houston, I think. Hopefully nothing will get stolen this time :p Oh, and I am spending tomorrow night at a HoJo's, because they were the cheapest place I could book, for 7-$/stay -_-. And I can get in to my new place on Friday. And my stuff should be arriving Sunday.

I'm tired and whiney, but soon I will be at my new home, looking for new people and new adventures. I wish I were more excited about any of this. :/

Now I am going to kill customer service people.
