One my main goals at work is to help as many clients as possible finish their implementation of our software as quickly as possible- the faster, the better, for both my company and theirs. Hwoever, getting clients to actively work on it for up to a month at a time is REALLY difficult, and I'm horrible at laying down the law and saying "look, we have a month to do this, then I have to sign off the project". But I'm learning. Finally, last week, with my manager's help, I was able to sign off on 12 projects, bringing my client load from 22 to 10. While this is very thrilling and I'm really very happy about it, it means I now have nothing to do. At all. Every day this week has been a real struggle to figure out 8 hours worth of stuff to do, and almost more importantly, who to bill that time to.
And of course, the whole time, I have this sweet little beagle puppy running around in my head, just waiting to be picked up and brought home.
Oh hey, I have good news! Kenny and I don't have to be homeless next at the end of next month- we can start moving some of our stuff into the new place in a few days and can officially move in on the 22nd or 23rd. Lori Swan (my coworker/future landlady) apparently got news from her current renters that they are moving out at the end of this month (march) and the place will be empty in april. This is happy news for us because we can now move in whenever we want and we can house the puppy a week sooner (now it's just a matter of not getting the puppy before Kenny is done with finals, or else studying will be very hard).
Let's see, other things of note:
-Kenny and I watched "I am Sam" the other night and Kenny really loved it. I had seen it before but still enjoyed it. In fact, Kenny liked it so much that afterwards he was in one of the best moods I have seen him in- and he wanted to watch ANOTHER movie. I've NEVER known Kenny to watch two movies in one day.
-we are going to a charity ball in a few weekends.
-we commenced spring activities last Saturday, with some Frisbee-golfing, ultimate Frisbee and tennis. It felt great to get out and be active again.
-It snowed today. 4 inches or so on my car. I'm pretty bitter about it.
-I get to baby-sit for a lady in the ward on Friday. I volunteered to for a Relief Society service auction. Kenny is planning on working, so this will work out nicely.
