(no subject)

It's raining. and cold. and because the media circus is still scheduled for today, we have to drive in to work (through the apalling traffic, the radio just said) so that we'll be there for business hours in case they don't cancel it when Cathy calls in to those in charge.

archaeologists are never happy. (I want to go out in the field. I'm so tired of this project, I want to go back inside. We're not finding anything; this is boring. Now we're finding too much, stop with the artifacts! etc.)

mmm, rain.

So we stood around in the cold & drizzle for a couple hours, and then word came through that the media circus was still on, so we went in and started untarping the site and bailing out units, and then around 10 we got word that they'd finally talked sense into the PR people and called it off, so we put the tarps back and went home. Yay mud. And stuff. Fortunately it didn't pour on us while we were out there.

Word is it's supposed to keep raining through about saturday. With luck that'll be true, and we'll have tomorrow off as well. And I am not the only one who hates this project to death.

( So, a couple of things: )

ALSO... is anyone interested in doing a craft day Sunday afternoon?

well, the damage is done.

bought doll. no self-restraint whatsoever. (well, ok, while I got her two pairs of eyes since I can't tell what color they really are from the computer images, I did not get her a wig-- particularly since I think the one they have in her photos, which I was intending to get, is sold out--oops-- as I have wigs, at least two of which will fit her, as they are too big for Waif)

And shipping from Korea? Absolutely apalling. (sometime in the last 8 months they stopped doing free shipping on orders over $500. although given how much it appears to cost, I can totally see why...)

Now I just need to pay for the next year on my storage unit and I won't have to worry about all that money I haven't gotten around to transferring over from my checking account to the savings one. Sigh.

But there's a 90% chance of rain for just about all of tomorrow. (yes, I just spent vast sums of money and am hoping not to go to work. er... never mind.)

Vega, Vega, Vega!!!
