Work stuffs

I think I forgot to tell you that my old boss of the expressive eyebrows retired at the beginning of January.  I can't tell you how much we miss him, especially those eyebrows, plus the fact that he was one of those REALLY GOOD bosses that was always willing to be the filter between crazy management types and us.  And management types are plenty crazy.  So maybe I miss that as much as the eyebrows.

We have this lady in my office who is basically a rock star at our job.  Everyone knows her, she has all sorts of cred, she's crazy smart, and she's nice.  Plus she wears cute dresses every day and her hair looks good and you know you'd probably HATE her if she wasn't also a rock star and so nice.  She's filling in for old boss of the eyebrows for the time being (we're in a hiring freeze, y'know?), so she's got her old work plus boss work and she's just SWAMPED.

Of all the people in the office for her to throw work to, she's throwing it to me.  The newbie (although... can you believe I've had this job for 8 months?  Can you believe I've been out of teaching for 5 YEARS?!?!) in the office is doing rock star work.  I don't think anyone begrudges me the work, but it's sort of good news/bad news.  Good news is that she trusts me and likes me and maybe they'll hire me PERMANENTLY in this job if I can be a rock star too.  But the bad news is I AM NOT A ROCK STAR.  I cannot possibly fill in behind her, and I'm doing my work plus her work and AHHHHSOMUCHWORKALLTHETIME.

Guess that means I'm keeping busy, right?

In other news, I'm making presents for the baby modlets for Valentine's Day.  Not sure you'll be on to see yours, so I'll leave you a few here.  Not gifs, but STILL.
