Last week was finals week at SU. Naturally, I spent 35 hours (including an all-nighter) working on a project. On top of the hour I spent grading a final paper. Whew. Luckily, everything turned out awesome.

You may be asking yourself “when did Jeni go back to school?”. Jeni didn’t. Jeni’s brother/son is in college, therefore, his work is her work. To be honest, we did have fun, even though I have never worked that hard on my OWN school stuff. Of course, the fact that we are siblings worked against us. #1) We both overdue any sort of project we work on and #2) we’re both perfectionist. This may have had something to do with the fact that the project was NEVER ENDING. However, the fact that some of the kids in Ed’s class said “Thanks for making us look bad” makes it all worth it.

So, I am loving work. It’s almost like I never left. I love re-connecting with our clients, I love Tom and I love Jason (the third part of our team). I love seeing Tim everyday and having lunch with Heidi. I love the 5 million places to eat within a 2 block radius. I love Starbucks in my building. I love not driving everyday.

There are a few things I do not love, but they seem to be temporary. I can wait it out.

I haven’t worked for a corporation for over 6 years. There are a lot of rules. There are also a lot of blocked websites. Now, I haven’t had a ton of down time, but, today, for example, when I ate lunch at my desk, there wasn’t much to look at. Why’s it gotta be so hard to catch-up on my facebook and blogs? I’m entitled to a break, damn it. I guess I’m taking up smoking.

I fell down some stairs on Saturday. I totally hurt my leg. It’s not swollen or bruised and I can walk. However, there is a throbbing pain. I didn’t go the ER because I wasn’t sure my benefits had kicked in yet (and it was before the congress vote and it didn’t $2,000 hurt. I will hobble for a few more days before I consider going in, although, I have no clue what could be wrong. It sucks being klutz.

Next month I am going to Charlotte Gainsbourg and I am ECSTATIC. In addition, May brings Chris Pureka and James Taylor/Carole King. Scissor Sisters have a new album coming out, so I am looking forward to another great year for concerts. Yay!

Ok. I guess that’s it. I miss you guys! I may not be commenting, but I am reading. Damn job.
