So, now that I'm back in Gainesville, I wanted to start working as soon as possible. This was made more difficult by the fact that technically my employment was terminated at the beginning of the summer, because that's what they do when people are going to be gone for almost three months. Anyway, yesterday I went to visit my place of soon-to-be-resumed employment because I wanted to see if there was anything I needed to do to get rehired. The lady who does the scheduling was literally overjoyed to see me. Came around, gave me a big hug, was gushing about how excited she was that I was back, announcing it happily to everyone that came in- I knew they liked me there, but this really made me feel valued.

Anyway, it was determined that Leslie had to email some other guy to see about getting me re-instated, and we didn't know how long that would take, but Leslie was like "we want you as soon as you can!" and I was like, okay! Will do!

This morning I get an email, and apparently the guy in charge of this stuff reapproved me, and Leslie sends me an email that says, and I quote, "WOOOOO-HOOOOO!!!!!!!" It is very nice to get warm fuzzies about work.

Also! I have been alone since my mom left me Monday morning, because Jessie was elsewhere and Esther was in Nicaragua, but I got an email from Jessie and she is coming home WITH A KITTY. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A KITTY! I am very, very excited about both my roommate's return and the cat aspect of it, because I miss having a pet so much when I'm here and now I will kind of have one!

And, because an entry without BSG is like a day without sunshine, I realized that whenever I watch something that is intense, it takes me several viewings to understand everything, because I am dense, and usually the first viewing is reserved for shipping fiercely and thinking 'oh, doesn't her hair look nice' and things like that. And seconding viewings are usually seen with firmly-affixed shippy glasses. So now that I'm more or less on my third viewing of BSG (except for most of 4.5) I am realizing that I not only did I never pay attention to what the Cylons were doing, I have no idea what happens to Red. It's like every episode I watch has several surprises solely because I have no recollection of what she is going to do. For the record: she is usually awesome. It is, however, upsetting that she loves Gaius so much, because he is a douchebag to her. She deserves someone far better.
