The busiest time of year for my job is over. I did wind up accepting the promotion I mentioned last entry, temporarily though. I like to think I did well at it, at least, as well as can be expected with my immediate subordinate sulking for a month straight because I got the job he wanted, but I'm mostly happy to be stepping back to my old job. I say mostly because I'm going to be saddled with the laziest of the bosses, meaning I'm going to have to do my work plus hers. While I'm not unfamiliar with the problem, they could not have found a better way to punish me for not taking the promotion permanently if they'd founded a study. To which I say, well played schedulers. Well played. At least I get a trainee to help carry the load, unless they cut back again and he gets kicked to the curb.

I discovered a early Christmas present today. Someone new moved into the apartment next to me. He's young, hot, and muscular. He also has a good looking girlfriend, but I can still look. At least, I assume he's the one moving in. I suppose it could be her, but he didn't glare at me the first time he saw me, and what guy would just nod/acknowledge the guy that lives next to his girlfriend?

Had to crack and put that in writing somewhere, and the walls are too thin for me to make such comments over the phone.
