javamonkey insights into the world of caffeinated monkeys

Saturday, September 25, 2010   Things I've Learned From Cosmo Deer--those cute not-so-little critters that live in my backyard, the things that produce venison, the animals that are constantly found along country roads as road kill because they kamikaze your car--masturbate. Thanks, Cosmo, for that little factoid. It's been eating at my brain all week. While Baldric is all cracked out because he's chasing down a moth, I figured I should update my blog. People, I will be back on the East Coast from October 8th through the 24th. Itinerary thus far: land late on the 8th at BWI, dinner on the 9th at 6 pm at Schula's Grill and Crab House in H-town, hitting Wonderbook in Frederick and Hagerstown at some point, back to BWI on Tuesday the 12th to drop Kansas Ben off for his flight, then up to Vermont for school the 13th through the 22nd, and flying out early on the 24th from BWI. Oh, yeah. Kansas Ben is coming East with me. Come to dinner. Meet the boy. And in other fun news, work is the pit of suck. Most folks are familiar with the various tales of jackassery that is the new boss (he started last year), but it gets better. The organization where I work is funded through donations from private businesses, the county government and the city government. The city, which had been our largest donor, has decided this year to cut our funding by 80%. Without notice or warning. Considering that my boss, who makes three times as much money as I do, got a 10% raise, plus a fundraising bonus equal to 10% of his salary (based on grant applications that I authored and submitted), will probably not be amenable to taking a pay cut, I don't think I'll be employed much longer. Which is actually quite okay with me, as other plans have been made, and I haven't really been happy working there for the past year. Announcements will be made when I'm back East, so really, I'm trying to stress the importance for you to come to dinner. (And let me know you'll be there, so I can give the restaurant an accurate reservation, please.) posted by jaime | 10:06 PM 0 comments
