Stupid head

Last night I went to bed at 9:30. NINE THIRTY. Stupid migraine.

On the upside it would appear that I'm headache free now, which is good because tonight my knitting group is having a picnic while we watch a little outdoor Shakespeare. No clue how we'll knit when it gets dark, but hey! Picnic and Shakespeare and at least the possibility of knitting.

Over in my work life my boss has asked that I write out instructions for the person who replaces me. As I do so much more than he gives me credit for I suspect this is going to be a lot longer than he's expecting. Anyway, if I'm slow to reply on emails and tags and such, that would be why.

And since some folks asked - I haven't posted the details of the new job yet b/c these posts have been public and I'm leery of giving out specific information. But once I get half a sec I'll do a general post. And also decide what sooper sekrit code name to use for the company. (Though I suspect I already know which one it'll be.)

A study in contrasts

Old Boss:

* Still has shown no real reaction to me leaving
* When I listed the things that I was writing down to help my replacement know what to do (9 pages and counting, so far), dismissed it as "not that important."

New Boss:

* Emailed me today to see how I was doing
* Asked if there was anything he could do to help ease my transition

So... yeah. Very much looking forward to the new job.

Fun was had! Also bugs.

Stitch and bitch tonight was outdoors as we had a picnic and watched a free performance of Shakespeare's A Comedy of Errors. We all brought a little something to eat and I'd say the highlights of the meal were my honey molassess chicken drumsicks and another girl's brownies. There were also grapes and strawberries and sparkling cider and cole slaw and potato salad. All in all good grub. Plus I got to use my cute little picnic basket!

We ate, then knitted, and watched the show while knitting and eating some more. Once it got dark the bugs came out liek woah but fortunately that was after intermission so there wasn't too much longer to hang in there.

The performance was really enjoyable. There was a pretty good crowd, especially for a Tuesday, and folks seemed to like the show. Possibly the best part was when Aemelia, an abbess, said "Whoever bound him, I will loose his bonds / And gain a husband by his liberty." at which point those members of the audience not familiar with the play actually gasped as one and said "What?" and then some guy sitting not too far from me whispered to his friend "Dude, Shakespeare is awesome."

There were also a lot of kids in the audience - as far as I could tell it was part of a school trip - and not only were they well behaved but during intermission they all took turns rolling down a hill. Because if there are hills and you are a kid you must roll down them. It's just how it goes.

And then the play was over, we packed up and went home, and I grabbed a shower and caught up on my flist, and soon I shall toddle off to bed. Yay!
