Regular service to resume shortly

The sun is shining, finally. In the news: I'm teaching in the fall, I sold another freelance piece, my defence is coming up in no time, life is pretty good. Basically the name of this blog has got to change, as it is now almost officialy a misnomer. I am no longer in thesis hell, one more hurdle to clear and I am done!

The major problems at work are starting to be resolved and my depression is lifting, since the crazy temporary employee has been let go in the last day or so. Girlfriend had to bounce, for real, so its nice that it's finally happened and all seems right with the world again. Ever work with someone who literally has you convinced that they are evil? Yeah, I'm not much for thinking that human behaviour can be traced back to demonic possession, but man, she had me rethinking that notion. Some samples from the last month:

*she decided to change her name to match a fictional character that she invented
*she waved a very sharp work implement a foot from my head while loudly proclaiming her newfound name, which made me very very nervous
*she decided, after a week of work, that she should be considered an expert and deferred to in all decision making. When not deferred to, she pouted, berated, pop psychologized and acted like a jerk.

and the cherry on the sunday:
*she got naked in the workplace

Thanks for coming out, here's your complementary toaster oven. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out

Join me, won't you, in raising a victory toast. Sangria's on me.

So, how y'all doing? It feels like forever!
