superstitious

this afternoon i biked out to michaels to buy some yarn for a new knitting project. i've decided to make a pair of felted mitts. i'm quite pleased with my colour choices, but i think i'm going to have to rip it out because i haven't put the correct number of stitches in. oh well. it's ok, i haven't done very much so far.

my colleague, emma, arrived today from the UK. she's staying at the sheridan, i have to pick her up on the way to work tomorrow. we've never met even though we've been working together for 6 years. i keep forgetting that we've never actually met, because i've seen her picture and i know her voice. she keeps saying she's looking forward to meeting me, so maybe she's never seen my picture and doesn't have the face-to-name advantage that i have. when the knickers retires emma is next in line for the throne. she could be my boss as early as next spring. i guess if that happens, i'd start calling her egallow on pspd. haha. anyways, i don't really see her keeping my position seeing as we're an ocean apart, so i'm going to keep it a secret that i hope to leave the company so that they'll give me a severance package. here's hoping!

beck sent me this postcard that she read on post-secret. it was a good reminder.


something's be trying to hold me down,
and leave me no hope on the battleground

Lesley! Work secrets on the Internet? With your picture and full name right beside them? ...careful.

hey...what's the pattern you're using? felted mittens are one of my favourite things to knit. That's what you wanted the 5 mm needles for I assume?

That postcard reminds me of what you said in your sermon.

well... like i said, i'd be happy with a severance package. besides, i'm not really telling company secrets, all that is common knowledge. except for my own person plans. but thanks for the reminder, i'll try to be more careful in the future.

yes, that's what i need the #5 needles for.

yes, i can see the connection to my sermon. it reminded me of the nooma dvd called "shells" did you see that one?

Oh yes, "shells" was one of my favourites. I really loved the analogy he used.
