Darn it. It looks like they're setting up a computer to put someone else in this cubicle with me. This has been one of the rare cubes with a semi-decent arrangement, i.e. not leaving my back completely exposed. But I guess I'll have someone sitting behind me on Monday. Phooey. At least I've still got the better corner.

I had enough work to do at work today that I was actually busy the whole day. It's probably good that that happens once in a while, so I don't get too lazy. I had been thinking this was probably my last week at Google, and I was going to ask my supervisor about it today but apparently she decided to go on vacation for a couple days and I won't see her again until next week. So I guess I'm going back then. No one else was really sure, but they said they'd assumed I'd be back. Works for me.

On a sadder note, though I haven't watched Mr. Roger's Neighborhood for years, I was still sad to hear he died last night. The article I read on him said that he got into televsion because he hated it so much and wanted to find a way to do something better with it. Now that's admirable. He did a good job and I, for one, will miss him.
Well, it's been a year now. I guess I'm doing okay. Better than I was a year ago, anyway.

Brian found this interesting article on Caring for Your Introvert. I'd say I identify with most of it, though I might not have phrased it all so strongly. I expect, though, that the author is aiming at an audience of extroverts and is trying to "speak their language" a little bit. Anyway, it's not the most serious or informational thing around, but it's nice to at least see introversion acknowledged as a valid orientation.
Golly, I've just done absolulu zippo nada here at work today. I probably won't be here much longer -- considering how little they have for me to do most of the time, I'm surprised they've even kept me this long. Not that I'm complaining. It's given me plenty of time to read, and also to work on a little project I've had for awhile, which is to finish transcribing Grandpa Jude's WWI diary. I finished that up today, so if anyone ever wants to read a more legible version of it, let me know and I'll send it to you. I'll get it to Uncle Jim, too, so maybe it'll find its way onto one of the family history CDs at some point.
