Yay spring break! Wooooo!
Okay, *this* weekend was spring break. I got all my homework done last weekend so this weekend I didn’t have anything to do. Yay. It was nice. Did some writing, played the drums, and got in some video-gaming. Aaaaaaah. I could see how one would get bored being home-body-ish like that for weekend after weekend, but it’s nice to be boring every once in a while, and I haven’t had a proper weekend in months. Very nice.
I also managed to get to church for the first time in way too long, Sundays being the homework-fests they are (even when I’ve been starting on Fridays). And I gotta tell ya, I *missed* it. I walked in and it just felt like ‘aaaaah. It’s been too long.’ Course, there were palms. I didn’t get any, though, being as I don’t need anything else to clutter up my space. I probably own too much junk as it is. I should go through and cleanse. Save some space. Keep my room clean. Give me an excuse to go shopping for new clothes. I don’t even *know* when I bought this shirt. I think it might have been back in High school.
So Raytheon was kind enough to send me a plaque-esque thing with a certificate for my ‘R6Sigma’ project that I completed last year. You don’t have to know what R6Sigma is. Just know that it’s one of those annoying corporate fads like ISO 9000 and Pyramid Scams that come along in waves. You have to get pretty high up in the management chain before they pay you enough to fake enthusiasm for it. And the higher up you go, the less you care that everyone below you hates it. You’re freakin’ rich! But yeah, they gave me a plaque. Course, the R6Sigma thingy comes right out, and bachelors degree goes in. I’ll replace it with MS whenever that comes around. (December!)
Also I saw this on campus
It made me giggle, that’s all.
I’m in a conundrum. I *want* to go to Easter Mass, but at the same time, the idea of going to Easter Mass fills me with *dread*. You know how it was impossible to get a seat back in tiny little Juneau, Alaska? A tiny little city with not too many people, really? Immagine trying to do it in LA. I’m afeared! Totally skurred. Why does LA have to have so many bloody people?!? Church just isn’t church when you’re too busy focusing on how miserable you are. Then it’s just going through the motions. That doesn’t do anyone any good.
Got my performance evaluation yesterday. That’s not my raise. It’s not my promoted/not promoted either. I don’t really know what it is, really. It’s a ‘good job, we have officially recognized that you did good. Salutations.’ Nothing dramatic, but it went well.
Also, it looks like Derek’s brother will be getting an internship with Raytheon this summer, which means that he’ll probably be staying with us. Which means he’ll probably be splitting the rent with us, and definitely be playing some serious video-gameage. Good news, that.

...yeah, I have no idea what you're talking about, but I'm glad you liked the story.
'The' fan'? I thought it had more than one. :) Then again, perhaps that's a clue...
