Magda surprised me with a phone call yesterday morning.After a quick visit to Target to pick up some equipment, I met with her and we had a spot of dinner, coffee and conversation. Her computer died while in Colombia, thus loss of contact, no phone number or email, but when she got back into town, my info was in the apartment she has here. Newt and I got some nice hugs and kisses! Quite a treat on an otherwise fairly poopy Tuesday.

She's only in town for three weeks this time, before returning home for the holidays... and then she'll be back for a bit in January.

Newt's a little attention hog... he ran right up to her and gave swabby-feet and headbutts.

She brought me some awesome Colombian coffee, right from jaun valdez himself.

RS is helping with work... showing some management finesse. I heard the big boss talking about "giving up and firing everyone"... she has been looking quite a bit more tired than usual this last week or so. If I got fired, my only concern would be that unemployment would take care of funds until I found a fresh gig. I won't worry about missing kids as I've discovered that our org isn't a unique and beautiful snowflake, and that there are others who would pick up the torch if our ship sank. Er, to mix too many metaphors.

I suspect that 2/3 (or more) of the PR section of our group will have found new jobs before my Birthday (Feb 02), but the office is interviewing hard for an administrative assistant. What we really need is someone to answer the phones and do the scut-work filing and such.

RI is in a bit of a cranky-funk, too. I've heard rumor that she's going ot cut her hours back a bit from 40 to a significant fraction less.

Yay! I guess sometimes things aren't the way we think they are, huh? Good for you and Newtie.

Well, I'm stil taking things casually, but it was quite nice.

[weezeroni.livejournal.com]

I'm glad for you.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

thanks. :)

I love that name "Magda." Sounds like you and Newt got some needed female "fairy" dust sprinkled about your furry bods. :)

TRUE Columbian coffee...YuMo! Throws Ms. Magda a big smile for getting such a delicios gift.

Magda is a nifty name, and not one I think of when it comes to Latin. Good coffee makes a happy scotto, as does a little smiley time.

She popped into my head out of nowhere, and I was wondering about her last night. Yay, that you had fun times with her last night!

How long will she be staying when she comes back in January?

I sure hope she calls it a layoff for everyone (if she does it), not a fire (for unemployment insurance purposes). That would be rotten.

Well, as far as firings go, it's all grumpy talk right now, but it sure doesn't help a morale at the office that's already lower than a snake's belly.

I think she'll be back for month or so in january, it depends on how the shiping recieving stuff works out.

Yay for fun! :D

YAY for Magda! I was hoping that things wouldn't fade away for you in the love department. As for Newt tell him to get his own girl :D

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Well, she didn't try *too* hard to reach me... 411 can locate this boy.

that said, she was out of the country, too. We're just having a good time for now.

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Well I'm usually a mother tiger when it comes to my friends and their feelings but lately I've learned the lesson of being open to love. Having a good time sounds like a good time to me!!!

being open sure beats shutting down :D
