I Am The Walrus

So now that it’s official, I can finally say it: I got promoted. From Senior Media Specialist to Media Manager (who has yet to employ a person to manage. So I basically just manage my time…. my finances…. my hair….). I have really cool benefits like flexi-time and a decent pay raise and a bump on my medical benefits. (Apparently, managers get hospitalized more. Freaky.) And yeah, at least one person to help me out at work. It’s been hard looking for one, in fact. You’d think I would hire a kind of "mini-Me" but the thought of another version of myself roaming the earth will alarm geneticists everywhere.

Then, I think I may have lost a friend. Two, probably. There seems to be some balance even among social circles — when you gain friends, you inevitably lose some. I think I just lost two this week.

My son has moved back into my room which is kind of a big deal for me. For almost three years, he’s been sleeping at my parents’ room which bothered me because of two things: I was afraid that he liked them more, and it was frightening to sleep alone in my room. Not that I’m afraid of the dark —- well, actually, I am —- but the loneliness and the cold at the dead of night gets to me sometimes.

Before the holidays ended, I bought a double-deck bed and Cojie now sleeps at the top deck.

Oh, and I now have internet at home. I HAVE INTERNET AT HOME!!!! After FIVE LONG YEARS!!!! Shudder at that thought —- I will be blogging more often now. I may even have essay questions next time.
