I love visiting different countries, and I'm dying to live in the UK for a couple of years (perhaps get my PhD there?).
Dark Chocolate sings to me as does Sushi, though not at the same time.
I enjoy cooking, though my repetoire is limited.
Cassandra's CREPES Sing to me as well...OH HOW I miss them!
Like Vanize, I enjoy role playing games.
I tend to ramble.
Anything else? Oh...

There are a couple of men I like too, but I'm really way picky.
And I'm very very Shy...ask Vanize. He knows. Spritie too.
OK, so that's it. That's me. Well...that's not all of me.

OH BELIEVE i have an idea.
grrr, I actually don't want to go back to work next week. For the first time, I have no desire to stand on top of an abseil tower, being blasted by the wind,not being able to feel my hands, and having certain kids pushing the level of my patience.
I hope I get more into it again when I get back there.
...sorry, I started to rant a bit there. i'm tired.
*curls up under a blanket next to Spitfire, and falls asleep*

So...things can go along just fine, then, out of no where, a curve ball kniocks you in the head.
Things with my company seemed to be going just fine these last several months. About a year ago, from about April through July, we went through long, uncertain times as many folks were laid off. We were told that things were squared away, and layoffs wouldn't happen for some time.
HAH. DOUBLE HAH, I say.
Three people were let go this morning. Folks with 20+ years experience. No one knew layoffs were coming, but here they are.
I find things a wee bit stressful, but at the same time...what comes my way will come...I just need to make the most out of it.
Kim...looking for the open door.

It was addressed to Spitfire. The image that is the right size for avatars is currently on my server, which she doesn't want to use, for understandable reasons (But is free to do so for as long as she likes). If it's easier for her, I was offering to give her the image so she wouldn't have to crop and resize the image over again (if I remember right, I did that for her last time). Or she could just download it from https://neuronfailure.com/cammoKim.jpg
Just trying to be helpful.
