Hit and miss

We got to look at the newly remodeled third-floor offices today. The paint color is okay, but the carpeting is hideous. Boo. I'm seriously considering bringing in one of my rugs from home so at least part of it will be covered up. Serious fug, man. Since we shouldn't have to move out of these offices (unless they decide to just raze the damn building after all in a few years), I think I might take a cue from [livejournal.com profile] radcliffe by going all out with the decor. I'll certainly be bringing in more indirect lighting because I am so tired of overhead fluorescent lights. Yuck.

My beloved endocrinologist is retiring in April. My (annual) appointment with him wasn't until August. The office staff squeezed me into his schedule for a February appointment so I can see him once more before he leaves--and hopefully he'll be able to refer me to someone else. I do not want to go back to relying on a General Practitioner to monitor my thyroid levels. Bah.

I'll end on a hit: I'm wearing a felt reindeer antler headband today. With bells on it. It's adorable and I'm going to wear it every day for the rest of the week until finals are over.

I'll try to get a picture tomorrow. If you're on campus today, you should stop by. It's some serious cute, let me tell you. The bells jingle when I shake my head.

Also, I am playing Ludo right now.

Haha! I listened to Broken Bride five times in a row this morning. I'm obsessed. I should burn it so you can hear. The ending makes me cry. CRY.

Also, are you here til 5?

Yes, damn it. Here 'til 5 today. Yay.

Rugs rugs rugs! Shelf paper is great for metal cabinets, and fabric pins nicely to walls and cubicle walls. I have a shoji lamp for nice light, and oh does it make a difference!

I have asked family for a new camera, and promised pictures of my desk in exchange!

You know, I hadn't even thought about covering my metal filing cabinets. *rubs hands gleefully* I wonder how much the department would freak out, considering all my office stuff is state-owned.

I too need to see this headband.

AND, as I'm spacey and can't manage to answer a simple email, are you and Roya available Sunday or Monday for food and drinks?
I have no access to it now, but could check the email later today....

Just make sure it's removable stick on shelf paper and then they can't bitch.


D.

Sorry about the carpet. I love area rugs. Good luck with sprucing it up.

Also, good luck with your finals. What classes?

I think I'm going to be in Law. on Fri. all day if you're available at some point. I haven't really talked to you or Yosa forever.

Do not forget to ask him for a recommendation.

If he does not have one, I can point at good people over in KC.

I used to go out and buy indoor garden fluorescent for my prison/office, it seems that both plants and I want the same thing out of light. *grin*

Stay warm! and antlery cute!

Oh, I'm not taking any finals, oh thank god. No, I'm not a student, I just work here. =D

Unfortunately, I'm all booked for Friday. Headed out of town right after work and won't be back until late. I'm sorry!

I would like to be on that picture bandwagon, you know. Can I please?

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2008-12-18 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll post it to LJ, no fear...forgot to grab the camera today, though, so I must remember tomorrow.
