On Friday a group of five people from my division is going to lunch with Joe, our executive director. Two of the people had to cancel for some reason (actually, one of them is Suzanne, who is going to an all-day course that day; darn), so now Meghan is going. And I heard her talking to Krishni and she was complaining about it, but said, "Yeah, the only good thing about it is that Barb is going." So I feel all loved.
I was going to post that little anecdote last night, but realized that would mess up my Monday-Wednesday-Friday pattern. Can't do that. Plus, my eyeballs were about to pop out of my head if I looked at a computer screen much more.
Besides that, I'm being fairly productive today. I don't know whether it's because I have a ton of things to do or because Steve hasn't been on IM all morning. But that productivity will quickly go away in a half hour, when I get to go to a 2 hour lunch meeting. Please, kill me now. Of course, I was telling Jeff (the director of my department) that I would work on a certain, fairly sensitive, project after lunch, and he said something about working on it after having a few drinks at lunch. So there may be hope.
In happy news, yesterday on the Harry Potter email group I belong to, someone mentioned the song "Lily's Eyes" from The Secret Garden. So I downloaded an excellent version, with Anthony Warlow (who used to have absolutely wonderful hair, but then he got lymphoma) and Philip Quast (this is an old site, but it has good pictures; go here if you want something recently updated with a sucky picture on the main page) singing. Dreamy. Oh! I just remembered the Harry Potter connection-Harry's mother is named Lily. Duh.
Current song in my head:
"Lily's Eyes" from The Secret Garden. I thought of it, and now it's stuck in my head. Probably until I get home tonight and listen to it. That won't get it out of my head, but it will be a nice form of release.
