Thursday: headache
My headache started this afternoon and is still periodically around. It isn't a terrible one, and when I don't move it goes away. So I've done a lot of not moving tonight. This allowed me to give my full attention to "So you think you can dance."
Tomorrow's Friday!!!! It's kind of been a long week.

Tuesday: second new project
Today was my first day at the second project. They seemed a little bit more prepared, but still not completely prepared, so there was some down time. But I'm optimistic that following days will go well.
It was weird seeing people I used to work with everyday around but not working with them.
My (old) project was officially terminated last night. This will mean more layoffs coming up, possibly the end of June. (There was an e-mail that said something about the end of June, but I couldn't tell if that is when they would know how many they needed to layoff or if that is when the layoffs would be.)

Monday night: love
I think I was having a hard time falling asleep last night (I say think because I might have been sleeping and waking up) when Ben came to bed. He asked me something and I said I was cold. I also wasn't feeling great when I went to bed. Anyway, he gave me a short but incredibly soothing backrub and snuggled with me to help warm me up. I slept well after that.

Monday: first new project
Today was day 1 of my new project. I've worked with most of the people before, so I at least sort-of knew what I was getting myself into. I think it will be about what I expect... some more vba programing (which I enjoy), some procedure stuff (which is ok), and hopefully some of my own harnesses. But work is a bit in short supply for at least the next month, so it might be a while before that happens.
So Flurry usually goes upstairs after putting me to bed when it is time for Ben to go to bed. However, last night she was a little early getting Ben so he took some pictures of her instead.

Weekend: prayer
It was a pretty good weekend, overall. There were some house issues, but nothing that can't be fixed.
Anyway, the exciting part of the weekend was that I found out two people that I didn't expect to be praying for my job are praying for it. It's just a really cool feeling to find out that people care.

Friday: There's not much worse than...
...having to sit at work at 4pm on a Friday, having done a grand total of fifteen minutes of real work all day.
On the up side, I should have productive stuff to do next week. I'll be working with the cable harness folks 3 days/week and the machine shop 2 days/week.
I've worked with the cable harness people before and they're fun people. The only annoying thing is that they're 15 minutes down the road, so transportation for Ben and I sometimes is a bit tricky. I haven't done much with the machine shop besides tell them things that I need built, so it will be good to learn about their processes a bit more.
I doubt this is a permanent set-up, but I expect it to last for at least several months. I am still on a 40 hour work week, which is kind of nice. And it is work to do, which is very nice.
Well, it is now 5 minutes later than when I started this post and I'm trying to decide if I should keep rambling or go back to reading "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The book is actually pretty good. I try to read classics periodically and since this one is so popular I figured it was a good time to read it. My biggest problem is that it was due back at the library yesterday so now I'm reading it on the computer screen which isn't quite as comfortable.
