He&#8217;ll be going back sometime in the next few weeks and to a foreign country in November.<\/p>\n<p>Work is finally calmed down but I know that it&#8217;s going to get nuts again before the software conversion. We have meetings on Tuesday and Thursday. If everything goes well, I may only have to process payroll two more times using our shitty current software. I am keeping my fingers crossed.<\/p>\n<p>I am also working a little on redesigning the blog. I just spent the last two or three hours perusing istockphotos.com choosing cute little illustrations and now I&#8217;m looking at backgrounds. I really hate my current header (the rose just annoys me and the font is sooooooo pedestrian) but I think I will stick with pink, although I do like the idea of red or blue or stripes or dots or chocolate and pink dots.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: When I talk about redesigning the blog, I mean that I will be hiring someone to put all the cute stuff together. They will know they are done when I stop making gagging noises when I look at it. (I&#8217;m paying via PayPal using my secret shopping money so I know I&#8217;m not paying much!)<\/p>\n<p>Why, yes, I do know that this all spells a certain amount of doom and that it could all end with me desperatel writing blog posts on post-it notes and sticking them to my monitor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sooo, how are you?
