My co-worker has a very, very loud voice. I came out of the break room, and could hear her half-way across the cubicle farm. She was yelling to her friend about how she had to stay late last night (which had already produced an endless stream of blather at the time). Then, after taking one call, she had to repeat the entire conversation to her friend. Yelling, again. Now she's complaining about her dentist. I've done a 'sensitivity check' with a couple of other co-workers, and I seem to be the only one bothered by it, so I haven't done anything. I guess I am being hyper-sensitive or something. Bleh. I suppose I'll be listening to my headphones on 11 today.

I did prime the computer room, with help from dearest hubby. I think it broke him, though. Today was his first day back at Nerdz, then when he got home he cooked a wonderful dinner with a new paratha recipe that was deeeelish. After the priming he just collapsed. I guess I should not crack the whip so hard over him. *whip crack noise* I may try to paint the room myself tonight, depending on how I feel.

Another co-worker just confessed that she was trying to get out of our unit ASAP, because she hates our supervisor. I have heard that from a couple of people and it is sort of surprising. I mean, the lady is quite a fuss-budget about stats and so forth, but if you know how to talk to her she's fine. Though I could see where if you didn't, she would tend to keep an eye on you, making you feel over-scrutinized if you're sensitive to that kind of thing. Then if you get more nervous it could make her more suspicious, etc... I can see why this person is having a hard time, because she strikes me as someone who is a perfectionist (she also mentioned she was bipolar). This would not make for a good supervisor/drone personality match. I feel bad for her though.

Tonight I will cook dinner for once. I'm glad it's my Friday. For all that this job is a piece of cake, I think I'm getting really tired of it, but fuck if I know what to do about it. I don't think there are many other places that will hire me part-time at my rate of pay and with all the benefits I have. Especially not in this economy.

Holy fuck! We have another Moon!

It's named Cruithne, and it has a really bizarre orbit. From this website:

The name "Cruithne" was given to it by its discoverers (see below), and refers the first Celtic racio-tribal group to come to the British Isles, appearing between about 800 and 500 B.C., and coming from the European continent. They were also known as the Picts. The correct pronunciation for 'Cruithne' is 'croo-een-ya'. The emphasis should be on the 'een'.

Those wacky Celts! I wonder what the astrologers will make of this one.
