(no subject)

I'm having trouble concentrating. I had 2 (small) glasses of wine at lunch and now I feel vague and slow. Honestly - talk about lightweight! It was a nice lunch though. Gillian (my old boss) was there and we had a chat although it did consist disproportionately of one of us saying "X has been made redundant" and the other saying "No! Really?". I wish they'd say something about it from on high - nothings even been said about why.

Good OUSFG though. Several new people, one of whom is probably coming to CBS as well which would be cool. One of them has even given actual money to Tom! I must try to get at least one of the short story mags delivered to me. I've been thinking for a while that cos I'm not always very good about reading new authors that'd give me a less threatening (and costly) chance to check them out which would be pretty cool. Maybe I could even get them on Palm!

"Chosen One

Wherever you go, you leave a trail of rose petals in your wake. You may even have been Gandhi in a former life. Warm, giving, knowing, and patient, people try to get mad at you, but they feel terrible about it later. As a child, you easily could have convinced your entire class to stage a sit-in against the math teacher, but you're too sweet. Perky and armed with tons of self-confidence, you're not afraid to actively pursue your goals and dreams.

As if all that weren't enough, you pretty much set the standard for emotional health. You practically ooze positive feelings and energy. You don't worry about minor faults but recognize both your strengths and weaknesses. Your generally upbeat mood means it takes a lot to really bring you down. And you're no fair-weather friend. You care about people, and you see them through the good times and bad.

At work, you're very reliable and responsible. You bring in baked goods for your co-workers and always return phone calls (even to telemarketers). You'd be a great person in an emergency. Plus, you're really excited about your work (go, team!), and your personal commitment to finishing what you start means you're a great leader. So get out there and do the world some good!"

Wow. I must be nicer than I think!
