I love my boss.
Have you ever been completely caught off guard with strokes you didn't even know you needed?
Yesterday, my manager came into my office grinning like a cat. She told me my bonus had been approved. (One I didn't know she'd requested on my behalf.) She said I was qualified for a job elsewhere in the company at her level, and though she didn't want me to go, I should look at the job description. It also seems that various people in the company (don't even know who all of them are, and not just in my department) have been giving our HR rep the hint that I'm darned good at my job. *grin*
Those unsolicited strokes....nice....
was riding my bike down Caņada Road the other day and nearly tipped over when I saw what they've done! this pic is an old shot, but now that lawn area is sculpted, there's a reflection pool and benches and stuff! it's not quite open yet, but "sfwater.org" says it's slated to open in early 2004. can't wait ;)
Using a touch of butter to sslloooowly brown 16 pearl onions, and sprinkling a little sugar, salt and pepper on top to candy them just a bit, I created a time gap...one of those little moments when the universe halts for a bit while you feel your joy, in this case, tasting one of these onions. When I opened my eyes, I realized I must have made a more-than-happy sound as Duane was gazing at me with an open-mouthed expression somewhere between awe and jealousy. Kind of like he wished he were a candied pearl onion....but then that's food porn, so I'll skip it....
*high drool factor*
so many musings, so many things untold, so many people who are dying to know, right? *ahem* of course you are!
thanks to dem borogoves for giving me the space to process or pontificate publicly - because obviously *they* want to know!
