paisleypiper's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- sneaky work entry A live update from work. It feels so dangerous.... but oh well. The weekend is almost here and soon I will be scooting out the door to meet a faculty-member friend for coffee. Technically it counts as schmoozing but is much more enjoyable. Today is Quinn's birthday. I'll be writing about life with a Scorpio at some later date. But, I put her presents on her bedside table all around her alarm clock very late last night. In a way it was santa-esque and I dropped a few crumbs about "leaving cheese" for Santa which either got eaten by other birds or were blown away in a breeze. This morning, after beating off the ringing alarm, I called her attention to the presents and cards. This seemed to work as a new approach to the birthday morning. Our house is a wreck with binders. And she has the day off... somehow having to wait around in a houseful of binders on a beautiful day for the "birthday to begin" seemed cruel. Because birthdays never really begin until a present is opened. This evening we will have dinner and do some clothes shopping because that is what she really wants. The only thing harder than sitting at work on a gorgeous spring Friday afternoon is sitting at work on a gorgeous fall Friday afternoon. And really it is only worse because it is the current situation. And I am incredibly antsy! 2:44 p.m. - 2002-11-08 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
