Bulleted update, with the help of little mushrooms from binkybeads!

• I have been feeling vague passes of colds lately, like lots of sneezing or just feeling icky. Today it’s a sore throat, although I didn’t notice it until I had to do a bunch of voicing.
• Interpreting a phone call between a deaf client and a completely incompetent helpdesk tech is quite possibly the most irritating thing I’ve ever done. I used to be a helpdesk tech myself, I knew exactly what the answer was, and I was powerless.
• Today I am dropping off a FedEx package with some forms for that government job application I mentioned a while ago. Keeping my fingers crossed but not raising my hopes too high.
• I finally cleared out the 21,000+ spams in my Gmail spam box. I wish you could change the threshold for when it clears it - 30 days is obviously way too long, since my account turned out to be about 10% spam in less than a month. It seems okay for my trash bin though.
• This weekend I will be going off my official diet for the first time since January 3rd. We are going to NYC this weekend (I am interpreting at the Leather Leadership Conference and A will be attending several perfume-related events) and leaving Thursday night, so I can’t pick up the food on Friday night like I’m supposed to. I’m going to buy some cereal and frozen meals so I can at least approximate the Diet to Go experience. I’m a bit wary, but I’m looking forward to it because DTG was getting a bit old.
• It feels so good to park in the regular lot. Contractors have had to park in satellite parking for three years (the entire time I’ve been here) and take a bus back to the main building. They finally opened up the new parking area to us yesterday; my commute has been reduced by a minimum of 15 minutes and it often took longer than that for the extra time to/from satellite parking.
