Oh Noes

Well it looks like in a week or two I'll be movin on up to head tech position. Yay. Have I mentioned I hate being in charge of people? I'm a fucking masochist, I LIKE when people order me around. So now I'm stuck with a bunch of techs listening to whatever I tell them, and I get to schedule them any way I want. BUT I can't pull myself off runs because I'm the most experienced and my boss wants me on them still. So not only have I taken over sleep scoring completely, now I am head tech, scheduler, working on abstracts, AND helping Mike upstairs doing a study with colonoscopy patients (don't ask). Oh as soon as Charcy leaves I am asking for a raise, don't worry. I'm not THAT masochistic.

I'm also PMSing (with high anger symptoms this month, oddly) and stressed because of all of what I just mentioned and the looming giant test I'm taking this coming saturday in Syracuse. From studying for that, I've realized I could never be a mechanical engineer. I have to know all about AC/DC currents, grounds, voltages, blah blah and it's just NOT sticking in my head. I asked Andrew but he's pretty clueless as well, I guess he can't be a software engineer AND a regular engineer *shrug* Most of the other stuff on the test will be okay I suppose, I still don't understand CPAP completely but hopefully I will soon.

One good thing...I have my new computer as many of you know and I'm in love with it. Dell 9300, look it up, it's a media extravaganza. Andrew fixed it up all pretty with random programs he pulled out of his ass which I'm very appreciative of. I'm also starting to use gestures on Firefox which is tre fun. Best of all, I'm in contact with all my friends again :)

Okay gotta go, some crazy lady WANTS to wake up at 5 am so I should get ready for that.

The Deal with Kevin Spacey: Part 2

Image
I figure I better finish this captivating cliff hanger before 2013, so I'm writing this just under the wire. Starting from the end of the previous blog entry, here we go: A little over a year ago now, my best friend Angie posted a link to my Facebook page of a trailer for Kevin Spacey in  Richard III . The thing is, this was not a movie, it was a stage play. And the even better thing is, he was performing at BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music). Mike and I had already moved away from Brooklyn at that time, but I had gone to BAM before, and it happened to be a quick walk from our old neighborhood. That got me thinking that it would not be difficult to get there. I looked on the BAM website, and saw that tickets were affordable. Also, Bank of America members (which, regrettably, I am) got early access to tickets. I believe the tickets went on sale in early November 2011. I called BAM the minute the box office opened that day, and ordered 2 tickets for Mike and I to attend in February

Celebrities May Be Smaller Than They Appear

Image
If there's one thing I learned since moving to NYC, it's that celebrities are tiny people. Usually both thin and short. When I met most of the cast of Ugly Betty , that was what I noticed first. I met Amanda, Mark, Hilda, and saw Betty (I don't know their real names, I don't even watch the show actually) and they looked like the littlest people alive. America Ferrera (I lied, I know her name) must be like 5'0. Last week I went to a broadway show called "Spring Awakening" that starred Hunter Parrish (Silas on Weeds ). On stage he looked thin but tall. Once we spoke to him afterwards he was shorter than me (I was leaning back in the pic) and definitely thinner than me. The day after meeting Hunter, I found "no parking" temporary signs on my street. These signs are posted all over the place when a filming is going on. I looked at what was filming, and lucky me, it was Flight of the Conchords , season 2! I've mentioned here before that

Reflections

Well once again, I'm getting a post in just under the wire. It's been about 8 months since I last posted, and that makes Simon 11 months old right now. I looked back at my last post, and many of the "bad" things have changed. We can go to restaurants now, and we can even bring Simon if it is appropriate! I don't have to run around like crazy trying to get things done, because Simon will sit and play by himself for awhile if I need to do something. Likewise, I can take my time eating again. After about the 4-5 month mark, things got progressively easier. He learned to hold and play with objects, then to sit up, then to crawl, and now he stands (holding on to things). This makes him more and more independent. He has 8 teeth now, and eats most of what we eat, but in tiny pieces. He can wave, and clap, and say little words like mama, dada, baba, hey, and yay. He is tall for his age, but slim. He looks like Mike from the front and me from the side. He hugs and danc
