Yesterday, I was offered a new title at work, and a raise, and I get to hire my replacement for the job I've been doing. (If you're in Charlottesville and looking for a job, I need to hire someone by the end of August. Let me know if you're interested and I'll give you more details.) So that's exciting, right? Well...

My little sister just got a job in ANTARCTICA! She's doing research on the streams and glaciers down there, and she'll be living there all summer (our winter) in a tent, outdoors, for three months. In Antarctica. She totally overshadows me, that bitch. J/F, I'm totally happy for her.

I just wanted to share that little tidbit...gotta run.

Peace.

Yeah you almost made me pee my pants. Almost.

(I love how in recent years, people have started dropping the "in" from that phrase. No one ever "peed his pants" when I was younger. It was always "he peed in his pants." But it's become accepted to drop the preposition, and I've gotta say, I prefer it this way, because of the possibility for misunderstanding...hehe...oh, the mental image. I peed my pants! There they are! Haha!) Okay I think I'm going to have to do a whole post about this...later.

"Pee" is now a transitive verb, it appears. :-D
