Brrrrr...

Two days ago, it took me nearly two hours to travel the 2.5 miles from home to work. An hour waiting for the bus, and 45 minutes ON the bus...had I know, I would have just walked, but at what point while waiting for the bus, seeing the bus approach, and watching the bus drive past you because it's packed full does you start to walk? Especially when you have to walk in the OPPOSITE direction of your destination in order to get to the bus stop in the first place? Today, my bad bus karma paid off. I missed the bus by about 20 seconds. Sadly, I couldn't see it coming, so I couldn't see that I had to run to catch it, and had to watch it drive past me. This was especially bad, as I was already running a bit late. HOWEVER, my boss took a different route to work this morning, which had him driving right past freezer-pop-me at the bus stop, so I ended up getting a ride into work. And it's not late if you come in with the boss, right? Actually, I even stopped for a hot beverage and made it into work well within the confines of my "on time" range.

Next weekend marks the end of my Savoyards shows until the Fall. With no more regular rehearsals and performances (well, there will be some more large wind works that a friend is putting together, but that's still in the works), I have decided to take an ASL course at CCAC through their lifelong learning program. SOOO, I won't get credit for the course, but I don't need credit for the course. It starts in mid-February and runs for 12 weeks.

In a week and a half, I make my first venture out into the conference world, when I present a poster at the INS meeting in St. Louis. The poster is finally complete!! I am simultaneously excited and frightened, as I'm quite certain I won't be able to answer all of the questions (or even most of the questions) asked of me. However, I'm quite good at bullshitting, which should come in handy. :) :) :)

Anyway, that's the update. There's no news to post, as everything is about the JaggerBush, and it's a sunny (though cold) day and I would like to stay in the good mood that I'm in as long as I can. :)
