Squee 1
Firstly, before I procrastinate any longer, a SUPER THANK YOU to the following awesome-ful people who sent me postcards/artses/holiday cards! They arrived safely, thank you :)

[livejournal.com profile] alafairnadia, thank you for the lovely postcard! I hope Ecuador was lots of fun.
[livejournal.com profile] chaeche, your card arrived! It gave me the squees when I saw mail coming in from the Netherlands.
[livejournal.com profile] jin_fenghuang, thank you for the gorgeous card and the even gorgeous-er ART!!! It's being displayed at the wall in front of my desk, high up above my bulletin board :)

So the other day one of my grad school departments emailed me asking: "What's the deal? I thought you're taking another semester, but seems like [Department #2] already approved the papers for your graduation." I was like, "Huh?" No, I don't know what the deal is, but one of my departments approved me for graduation!!! This means the other department will follow suit and I can has graduation nao, kthx! :D

Go Giants!!!


I missed the beginning of the game, "saw" most of it online reading the play-by-play, and caught the important moments at the huge TV in my apartment (did I ever mention someone gave us a huge 51" TV for free? It's ginormous). The party in my apartment was a bit too crowded for me, but I still had fun reading/watching the game.

There's cheering in the apartment, cheering in the streets, and I swear, cheering from the apartment building across the street from mine. w00t!!!!ONE!!!!!11!!!!1!!!!!ELEVENTY!!!! :D

Job squee. Well, it's a mixed squee, but really cool nonetheless. The Assistant Director in one of the affiliates of my organization took a leave back in November, and 1) he's still not back yet, and 2) I don't know if he will be. This means for the past two and a half months, I had been shouldering a large chunk of his work responsibilities. I want him back, or someone to fill the equivalent of his position, because right now, I feel like I'm barely keeping the operations of the Assistant Directorship afloat—and I'm only a measly Development Associate, not even in a managerial position (and I don't want to be).

So, even though I've officially been full-time for less than the 6-month probationary period, my boss approached me the other day and let me know that I was included in the annual staff bonus memo! Honestly, I knew the fiscal department was divvying up annual bonuses, but never in my dream did I think I'd get one, 4.5 months into the job. Not that I mind. Oh no, not at all *g*

I actually received it earlier, just didn't get around posting a thank-you ^_^;;

It was lovely. :)

You were a very pretty bridesmaid ;)

Oh yea, did you ever get your light bulbs?

[identity profile] ziasudra.livejournal.com 2008-02-06 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! I had a great time, and it was really cool seeing you both again (as well as some of [livejournal.com profile] tanechigai's friends I've gotten to know through her).

And yes! There is now light in our apartment because of those very awesome light bulbs! My housemates and I thank you profusely :D
