mousmeSo I just got an accidental call from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bodhifox, who was apparently trying to call his father. Bonus! We had a nice chat, and now I feel better about having to go into work.
Once I get my finances sorted out, I am thinking of getting some nice stationary and maybe trying to start a letter-writing thing. Anyone out there want to do the letter thing? I'm not sure how that's supposed to work in this day of instant communication (what does one talk about in a letter which isn't covered by LJ entries and email? ;) ), but I'm thinking that it would be a nice change of pace.
maya_banana has found some semi-private knitting lessons at Ariadne Knits, which sounds like fun if I can ever get away from work again. :P
We've lost another guy at work: his wife gave birth early, and so now he's on paternity leave for the next little while. As far as everyone knows both mother and baby are fine, but it means we're another man short for the nonce. That means I might be drafted for more overtime, possibly even this weekend. Bleah.
I am surrounded by sleeping kittens. One of them is on my shoulder (well, given that it's Pan-Pan, he's partially on my shoulder, since I can't really carry 18lbs of cat on my shoulders), and life is good.

- not talking to the person in question about the same things over email in the several days that the letter takes to travel.
