Monday again? Meh.

Managed to spend a lot of the weekend being reasonably excited because someone actually made us an offer on the house on Saturday. But by Sunday night sanity had prevailed and she told us she needed a bit more time to think about it. We haven't given up hope completely (I'm all aboard with the nauseating waves of doubt that come with any decision to spend vast sums of money) but while she makes up her mind, we're back in a familiar and uncomfortable life-on-hold mode. That's the mode in which we try not to cook or otherwise disrupt the tidiness of the house in case the prospective buyer needs to drop in at short notice and have another look.

Until the house is sold, we are also trying to minimise spending on unnecessary luxuries, which means that I am not yet in a position to pick up the Sluggy Freelance game about to come out from Steve Jackson Games. Curses.

It's Tiff Hamilton's birthday today. Since she almost certainly won't look at this blog, I'll send her an email. But I thought that you would like to know (where "you" is understood to be someone that may very well have never heard of Tiffany Hamilton).

I'm getting a definite "consider where you might like to be transferred in the future" vibe at work. It looks pretty likely that my section will be rolled up and handed to a different area, and I may or may not be expected to be part of the package. What am I suppose to tell them, when the vibe becomes an actual question? I don't have any particular desire to be working anywhere, let alone know where I'd like to be placed. I guess I need to think about coming up with a more realistic request than "give me a package and you need never hear from me again".
