Sharjinka: Hey!
evile: hi :) How's today going?
Sharjinka: Are you sure it's okay to take Pippin walkies?
Sharjinka: Oops. Orientation. Back in a bit. Maybe....
evile: OK
Sharjinka: Okay. Professors are boring. *sigh* ;-)
evile: they get paid to do that.
Sharjinka: I always feel bad when they're not lecturing on material
that interests me, I can't stop yawning.
evile: heehee :)
Sharjinka: I was yawning so bad, my eyes were tearing up a bit.
*sigh*
Sharjinka: The material is a bit boring. "Find a supervisor you
like, etc."
evile: *nod* but it's all stuff they need to know.
Sharjinka: Yes, I know. Best I leave. So the boredom doesn't rub
off. I've been listening to it for a while.
evile: heehee!
Sharjinka: :-D
Sharjinka: Is Wednesday okay?
evile: working long hours and being stressed will eventually catch up
and make ya tired.

evile: What time WEdnesday would you like to see me?
Sharjinka: I know. I've done 18 hours already. :-D
Sharjinka: What time do you eat dinner? I usually walk him in the
evenings when it's cooler.
Sharjinka: Do NOT say walkies in front of Pippin. He knows that
word! :-D
evile: OK, I won't! :)

evile: I get home from work around 5 PM, so I can be at your house
any time that evening. 7?
Sharjinka: He's just silly that way.
Sharjinka: 7pm works. :-)
evile: OK, I'll see you at 7 on Wednesday :) It'll be fun :)
Sharjinka: Cool. I was thinking of seeing if folks wanted to go see
Brothers Grimm on Friday. Interested?
evile: ooh...that could be cool. Let me check w/Sweetie.
Sharjinka: Cool. It's playing at the Pflugerville theater at 1825
and I-35.
evile: what time?
Sharjinka: 1:10pm, 1:40pm, 4:05pm, 4:35pm, 7pm, 7:30pm, 9:55pm,
10:25pm
evile: oh, cool. The 7 or 7:30 would probably work best for us. I'll
check w/Sweetie and see if he has plans or wants to come, or whatever. He
got a raise & promotion this week & mentioned celebrating at some
point :)
Sharjinka: YAY! Good for him!
evile: Yeah. He's happy.
Sharjinka: Don't blame him. Wish I had one.
Sharjinka: I've been recommended for one. *sigh* I get recommended
every year....
evile: it's tough when you work for the state or academics...there's
just no friggen money in the budget for us peons.
Sharjinka: Yeah, I know. I like my job. Just the pay could be
more. JG still can't believe that I made it on my own with my
budget. ;-)
evile: yup. You work very hard and take care of your obligations very
well.
Sharjinka: Thanks. Fall is my busiest time. The rest isn't too
bad. Fairly easy.
evile: *nod* and there are some nice perks--taking classes and going
off on digs and such.
Sharjinka: Yes, that's very true. That's why I try so hard when they
call me to do stuff.
evile: and that whole job security thing!
Sharjinka: Although, I did let them know I did NOT appreciate the
fact the band LOST money playing for us.
Sharjinka: Job security is such a good thing!
evile: they had to rent amps and stuff, right? that rather sucks. I
hope they get some paying gigs at some point soon!
Sharjinka: I do too. I told them I had no intention of asking them
back unless we pay them. *sigh* I hope that means they will
consider paying them.....
evile: that would be nice. If you are 'in charge' next year, does
that mean budget control?
Sharjinka: I doubt it. It means organizing things and a nice pat on
the head. More work....
evile: hm. that sucks!
Sharjinka: Yep, it does.
Sharjinka: That's why I wasn't happy about it. :-D
evile: yeah. Unless you get some actual authority & budgetary
discretion to do the job right, it's not worth having.
Sharjinka: Very true. :-D
Sharjinka: Pizza will be here in a half hour. :-)
evile: excellent! :)
Sharjinka: Yep!
evile: I wish I'd been able to go to both Whole foods and dog & duck
last night. I hate having to choose between 2 fun things.
Sharjinka: It's okay. You didn't miss much. Just some cool down
time. They were all pretty tired and somewhat blah. :-D
evile: *nod* I would have been, too. They worked hard!
Sharjinka: They really did.
evile: It was damn hot; I was miserable just sitting around.
Sharjinka: I didn't sleep much last night. Either excitement or
worry. I really plan to crash tonight.
Sharjinka: Yeah....I wish I could have had some power over that but
there's really no place else for them to play. At least, it wasn't
out in the sun like the original plan.
evile: yup.
evile: You did the best you could with what you had. I am glad it
worked out. It would be so cool to see them really succeed.
Sharjinka: I know. I want to be a roadie!
evile: heehee. that would be fun! I could drive the tour bus ;)
Sharjinka: I want to be a bouncer and security person too! :-D
Gives me a reason to keep wearing chainmail.
evile: oh, honey, you don't need a reason or an excuse! Wear it cuz
you look HAWT in it!
Sharjinka: Thanks so much. I did get a lot of looks when I wore my
sports bra and chainmail over it. :-) Probably because it looked
somewhat odd....
evile: if by 'odd' you mean 'damned hot', then yes!
Sharjinka: Thanks so much. :-[
Sharjinka: I better go. Pizza will be here in a bit. :-D
