So, tonight I finished The Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop:

I *did* have OTHER plans for this evening…but my book explained to me in no uncertain terms that I was to cancel them.

SO good.  If you like a dark fantasy/magic/love/struggle/intrigue and evil fighting the powers of good kind of book…I highly recommend.

*sigh*

Right now, I still linger in the bitter-sweet afterglow of having come to the end of a book I really enjoyed.  I tore through it, because I was desperate to know what happened next and how it would all turn out…but now there is nothing left.  My book is done and that makes me sad…but it was so good…and there were a few sections towards the end that were just….*shiver*…so bloody fantastic.  LOVE.

Anyway, I’m gonna go to bed after a completely un-accomplished night.

Oh — Side note — this chick named Joleen came to look at my car today; we’ve been talking on the phone over the past couple days, arranging time and such…and she showed up with her…boyfriend (?) –we all recognized each other and it turns out that they are friends of Jake’s (if you know Jake, this is probably a bit more interesting…big blond guy, does (did?) faire, often goes by the name ‘Letch’) ….anyway, 6 degrees and all.

So I got to work early this morning. First thing, I checked my email, and there was a message from my boss, Linda, basically saying that I need to keep on top of stuff — get invoices sent out, get samples sent out, blah blah blah…basically, last week, since Helen kept giving me these huge giant projects, I kept falling behind on my office paperwork–’cause I’d be right in the middle of it and Helen would poke her head over the wall of my cubical, and in a very Bill Lumbergh-like way (minus the coffee cup) would say, ‘Sooo….were you thinking about heading down to the warehouse any time soon?’ (yeah, helen, just finishing what I’m doing here) ‘Right…well…you see, the thing is, that’s a very important shipment that needs to go out right away, so if you could just go ahead and head down there…’

GRRR!

And. Aparently. Since I put in my 2-week last monday….I wrote that it was ‘effective’ the 7th (next monday) by which *I* meant that as of the 7th I would no longer be here.

But Linda took that to mean that next monday is my last day.

Who has a Monday for a last day?

Anyway, fun work awaits. :P
