tomorrow night i'm heading back to ri for a long weekend. i sort of can't wait. i'm so so so ready to not be in ny. i really need to get my head on straight, and hopefully a couple days with my parents taking care of me will help.
my new hire started this week. she's awesome, if slightly more inclined to bounce ideas off me than i anticipated. i understand the need to talk things through though, and am trying hard not to be short with her. i just want to get back to doing my actual job though, instead of spending so much time on the project she's been hired under. it's not my project, and i just don't want to deal with it, so i get grumpy.
i'm so excited that spring training is starting up soon, not going to lie. as much as i love my winter sports, baseball just says warmth and relaxation and so many other things i want so badly right now. can't wait to spend some quality time with nesn in the near future :D
also, i've been listening almost non-stop to rutter's requiem. it's beautiful and sad and just lovely. i heartily recommend it to one and all.

Date: 22 February 2011 03:45 am (UTC)my dad's best childhood friend was visiting for part of the time, so i got to see one of my 'uncles' - a bit awkward, since he's one of those people i find very difficult to read - i'm never sure if he's joking or not. but he kept dad in good humor, so that's pretty priceless right there.
