Update
So...things have happened and, so far, life is still pretty good. Synergy Syrens (name of my bellydance troupe) are performing at the Bloomington Cultural Festival on August 18th and, if the guy arranging all of the performances keeps his end of the bargain, we are going to get paid!!! I am so excited! It's not very much obviously, but it's still about 40 bucks I didn't have before.

Work is still pretty good. I apparently got into a high pressure OSS job where I will have about 15-20 big-wigs breathing down my neck for their reports for the first two weeks of the month every month which I didn't realize was part of the job. My team, while they are nice, have absolutely no idea how to train me, and my boss has already made it clear that he doesn't think I can do the job. How encouraging right?

But I have resolved that I will simply do the best I can and what happens, happens. Thankfully, because I have a contract, I will still have a job even if my boss decides that he wants to replace me. They will simply assign me to another project, and my boss will have to deal with training somebody completely new and possibly getting someone who is even worse at this job than I am. Oh well.

Tim+Me=VERY GOOD! That's about all I need to say on that.

My car got fixed for $43!! Anyone who knows my luck with cars knows that is an amazing occurrence.

Particular point of joy: I get paid every week from my employer and next month I get paid 5 times!

Love and shimmies
