Everything at once.

So I have been working from home full-time since the beginning of December, more or less. If I'm not in the field, I'm in the spare bedroom. I haven't been in the field very much (a total of two weeks), so I've spent a LOT of time in the spare bedroom. Alone. I'm an introvert, & generally happy with my own company, but it's been a bit much even for me. When hotpantsgalore was in New Orleans for the last month, I was going days without talking to anyone but my neighbor Steve (& Shadeaux).

But THIS week my isolation has been broken! Bobo Bro is working here until his internet sitch is resolved. HPG got home yesterday afternoon, & even though she works outside of our home herself, she is around in the mornings & evenings! And we have had the landlord, repairmen, & delivery folks in & out of the kitchen, trying to fix all the crazy shit that's going on in there. I had my book club over last night for our monthly discussion group, & we had a lovely evening discussing Outlander.

Even more amazing, the Denver environmental group invited me to their monthly meeting today! It is a sign of how starved for human company I am that I was really excited to go to a meeting. But it was nice - I finally got filled in on a lot of the details of the URS/AECOM merger (seriously, I have missed so much). I think I got some project work here in the Front Range. A PM asked me to help him write a proposal. And I was scheduled for some Chevron training so I can help on a big ongoing project in Colorado & Kansas. PROGRESS, FINALLY.

Tonight, HPG & I are going to a pub quiz over in Lakewood, where - one assumes - we will interact with EVEN MORE PEOPLE.

Can't a girl get a moment to herself around here?

Oh yay for that news with the Denver office! And all the other stuff, too.

Cheeky people! Always with the crowding and the meeting and the talking and HEY WHERE'D EVERYONE GO I'M SO LONELY

It's not so bad. All the best Civ moments happen in the spare bedroom. Dragonborns do their most impressive work there. And who knows how many Tetris polygons have been vanquished in spare bedrooms across the globe? ;-)

My only computer right now is a laptop provided by my employer, & I'm nooot quite cheeky enough to install Civ on it. I feel bold enough checking Facebook during the workday on it.

That's a good thing, really.

Guess it's time to start the "Get Ang A New Computer For Goofing Off" fund. Except every time I do that I pull a GOP and raid it for gin and chocolate.

Wish you could make it to my pub trivia night--I only have 7 more hosting gigs left before I retire and move away in June. First (several) rounds are on me! Most fun you'll ever have saying "Hell if I know!"

On second thought, maybe not--when I host, I pun. A lot. ;)

I'd love a good pub trivia night. Sadly, I think your pub is a bit too far away....

Sadly, you're probably right. Hopefully, I can set up something at my soon-to-be-new home. The downside is that I'd be even further away, in Washington state. Regardless, I'll keep a gin bottle on hold for you. :)
