I am at work and it will just be two of us today and tomorrow. I have my last two client calls for the week today, but lots of other work to keep me busy.

I'm off but I'm currently unemployed. That is until December 7th!!!!! Finally got my official offer I'm so excited to start working. There was talk about me starting next week but I'm part happy and sad about starting a week later. I'm so excited about the position and the people I'm going to work with.
I am taking a half day - I have errands and appointments this afternoon. Then I have tomorrow off as well to start getting ready for Thanksgiving. We are hosting and I am surprisingly calm about it all. As long as there is food and wine, that's all that matters, right?
I'll c&p mine over since I just simultaneously made a randoms post.
I got the kinda-sorta-promotion, kinda-sorta side-grade I posted about a few weeks ago! It's a title change, a slight shift in responsibilities, and maybe (I asked) a compensation increase. My supervisor said that I "pump out work like crazy and it's high quality stuff." Also, I will technically report to someone else now, which I am pleased about.
Ultimately, this will really set me up well for the future since this position looks better on paper and it is the job responsibilities I enjoy working with the most.

I'm working today, then teaching spin immediately after work and meeting a friend for dinner and drinks after. DH has his colonoscopy tomorrow, and I can tell he's really disappointed I'm not coming straight home from work. But i'm going to want to eat, dammit. And it seems mean to eat in front of him.
Also, I am disappointed that he scheduled this procedure at 7 AM. Last time he scheduled it, it was at two in the afternoon and I could leave to go get a margarita instead of sitting in a vibrating waiting room that turns me into a nervous wreck #WifeOfTheYear

I just made my first appt towards getting lasik! I'm so excited I've wanted this forever. And tomorrow is hair day! I can't wait to see what Taylor comes up with this time.
Oh, and I have decided I _need_ to make this hat. At some point. Sooner than later (because really, a hat this amusing should be worn for the holidays...).
I'm working every day this week except Thursday. And I'm covering for a coworker who's off. I don't think I'll be taking off around Christmas, either.
I actually don't mind - I'd rather burn my remaining vacation days on random Mondays/Fridays, and come in to the office around holidays when there's practically nobody here, and I can wear comfier clothes and take long lunch breaks.
In work-related news, a coworker just told me she'll be leaving soon for another job, and one of my managers resigned a couple weeks ago, so I'm halfheartedly looking around at job postings just in case.
One of my students has bathed in Axe body spray today.
My condolences. H's BFF who has been living with us for a month (and three months earlier this year) uses Axe everything (spray, wash, shampoo). You are 30, dude. Buy some real stuff and stop making my house smell!

To be fair, my Dh uses axe deordorant, so I am familiar with what a nominal amount should smell like and it's fine.
I think this morning's application was in lieu of a bath.
I'm working, both today and tomorrow. My boss is off both days and our other close coworker is leaving early (well, now actually!). I'll be the only one here tomorrow. I mean there are other people in the department but I don't generally work with any of them. The students are off, too, so it's super quiet.
I'm almost done with the main thing I needed to accomplish this week, so I'm a little curious WTF I'm going to do all day tomorrow. I have a running long term to-do list that I guess I can work on. I'm just ready for the week to be over and get on to the weekend!
I just spent 15 minutes talking to our secretary about getting my badge re-activated at HQ. She kept telling me my badge only works at HQ for a few months if I don't go down there enough. Yes, I know, that is why I need the form. I have to go down more frequently now, so I don't think it will expire again. Just give me the damn form!
