First appearance of the Red Dragon
I keep waking up to these amazing emails. By the time I get to school, my
face usually hurts from how much I've been smiling. But I guess it's a small
price to pay. *sigh* I'm such a girl . . . *starts humming the theme to
"Sleeping Beauty"*
So, my presentation was fantabulous. Visual aids were markedly appreciated.
All in all, I think we took nearly two hours, which is good for two people.
And it left time for Amanda to take me to Mike's and force beer on me (she had
tea, the pussy). We made plans to go see "Finding Neverland" and to instigate
an introduction to the Red Dragon on Saturday. The Pie is invited, but he
hasn't met the Red Dragon yet, so I'm not sure that would be a good idea. ;)
Oh, the crypticity (is that a word?)!
Now I'm at work, whiling away the hours doing myriad pointless dictations
involving Wayner rambling (it's a special technique perfected only by him),
and closing files. I'm hoping to have the mountain that's under my desk
taking up my leg room gone by the end of the week. That's the plan, at
least. I also have to revise a separation agreement and I'm not sure about
the wording. I'm putting that off to a time when I'm in the office with other
people who know more about the
Family Law Act than I do.
I'm irritated that I'm at work, but I brought this on myself. I have what
will amount to a seven-page detailed outline of my thesis due tomorrow. It
includes a fully fleshed-out thesis statement and introductory paragraph, a
chapter outline, with headings and subheadings, including what we plan to put
in each section and why, and an extensive bibliography. Luckily, due to that
ass-pulling I mentioned a few weeks ago, I have the rough stuff already
handled. I just need to pad it a bit.
And there's something scary going on in the hallway outside the office. I
think someone's transporting something heavy and ungainly into one of the
other offices. I hope it's not a bomb.
*sets cheerily off back to work*
