Better

Not the work situation, unfortunately, but my mood has certainly improved. How you ask? Simple, I have plane tickets!! I will be in PA (and maybe LI for a bit) the second week of May. And there was MUCH rejoicing.

Yet another silver lining

In the interim of Kathy being gone and us hiring a temp, the boss has Neil coming down to help out. He was hired right after me (I sat in on his interviews) is from England and always seemed a nice guy, but when he was hired he was in a different section than me so I never saw him. But now he's down here and we're chatting and getting along great and it's just fun. I have another friend at work *grin*

And before anybody who knows me that well makes any comment about British Isle boys, he's in the US to live with his American girlfriend.
