1) Still haven’t scheduled my certification test. Today’s wrench is that I need someone boss-like to sign my authorization to take the test before I can schedule the damned test. And who knows how I’m going to get my hands on a funding source for this boondoggle. APA, please make this be slightly easier than joining the CIA. Please.<\/em><\/p>\n

2) I was supposed to have my (errmm) annual doctor’s appointment yesterday. The highlight of it (not to say that a pap smear isn’t the most fun you can ever have…) was that I was going to leave the office at 4. Ooh, leaving work early. The sun shining, the highway not a parking lot. I looked forward to that all week! But I got to work and my coworker Mark (who arrives before me) wasn’t there. He was sick (really sick or faking, I’m not sure, but I have a suspicion that we’ll be down one Mark in about a week) so, no doctor or leaving early for me! I called their office and it turns out that the doctor wasn’t going to be there anyway.<\/p>\n

(Add that to the “Things I Just Loooove” list: the doctor charges for no shows but I don’t get to charge when HE no shows)<\/p>\n

(Ugh, I wanted those two hours so badly).<\/p>\n

3) And of course, overtime is banned at the office so the extra time I worked to make up for (theoretically) leaving early ended up as overtime, so I’m going to get my knuckles rapped for that next week.<\/p>\n

4) I get my first review on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

5) So, well, that’s it. Work, work and more work.<\/p>\n

6) Wait! I figured out that even if Vegas is a no-go for November, there’s a cruise to Bermuda that exact week that leaves from Baltimore. Unbelievably, it’s actually cheaper than airfare and 6 days in Las Vegas. A vacation’s a vacation. Mmm, time off.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hmm. Okay, sorry, I guess that’s it for updates \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
