badseed1980Five positives
1. My made-it-up-off-the-top-of-my-head tomato jam turned out GREAT. We had it on top of baked tilapia, accompanied by oven fries and spinach with garlic. Mmmmm. It's amazing what really cooking down some tomatoes, sugar, balsamic vinegar, and fresh basil can do.
2. A coworker has loaned me a book called The Island of Seven Cities. It's about how the Chinese settled in Cape Breton ages and ages before Europeans got there. Sounds really cool. Reminds me of some of the stuff from American Gods.
3. I have my first performance review this week. Wednesday, in fact. And...I'm not going into fits of anxiety! My heart doesn't start pounding. I don't lose my appetite and feel like puking. This is nice. And if I get a raise, it'll be even nicer.
4. This is a busy week, but at the end of it, I have a formal ball to go to with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pierceheart...and then a WHOLE WEEKEND to spend with him! Including daytime! It's been so long since we got to sleep in together and spend the day doing whatever we felt like together. :) Yay!
5. I was smart enough to buy a package of chicken cutlets on sale at the grocery store yesterday, so I may actually be able to make another dinner sometime this week without first going shopping. That would be nice.

Date: 2007-02-05 09:18 pm (UTC)I'm actually kind of looking forward to it. I'm really hoping that maybe one of the newer people we've hired can start doing more data entry so I don't have to do as much, and can focus on the more research-y aspects of the job. I'll talk to her about that at the review.
Oh, and YES, I'd love to borrow the bag for Friday! I have some stuff to do tonight and I have dance class tomorrow. Do you have any plans with
