Observation: even on normal days, it takes as long for me to commute from Everett to Boston on the T as it did for me to commute from Everett to Needham in my car. And then there are days like today, when it takes longer. I really need to get one of those deals where I can walk to work. Well, okay, what I really need is one of those deals where I work from home.

Still sniffly and sneezy. I've been pretty lazy about cutting back on dairy, even though the people feeding me have been really good about it. I just need to pass things up. I had some cookies last night, but I did manage to not put any cheese or sour cream in the otherwise-vegan black bean soup. Mmmmm, that was good soup. I should get the recipe.

I have the morning to work on my stuff, then there's a meeting at 12:45 (or possibly 1, it's not very clear), and then I have New Employee Orientation (TM) from 1:30-3:00. At which point I will finish up whatever and then leave, since I'm skipping lunch today. I really like the 35-hour work week thing. Two jobs in a row with a 35-hour work week. And two jobs in a row that I somehow managed to never fill out a job application. I hate filling those things out, so that's pretty cool. You know, I don't think I provided nay references, either. I could have been some whacko who interviews well, for all they knew. Which, of course, is how the whackos get in.
