Yay, frogging.

Nothing like having to rip back almost 3 inches of cabled sock because you realized 3 inches too late that you were supposed to decrease a few stitches for ankle shaping.

Too much socializing at the big table and not enough pattern reading. Oops.

Today I learned…

…that Palmetto Bug is really just code for “honkin’ huge cockroach like you only ever see in the zoo.”

-shudders-

The lizards? I love the lizards. They’re wee and cute. Palmetto bugs? Not so much.

License to Ill

So, I got my Florida license last week. It’s weird; for 30 states in the union, all you have to do is trade in your current driver’s license to get a Florida license, but there are 20 states (Illinois included in that list) that you have to provide a second piece of identification, like a birth certificate or passport, to get a FL license.

That struck me as odd because in order to get an Illinois license you need to provide 4 different pieces of ID… but it’s not “proofy” enough to get a Florida license. Weird.

I’ve got a brutal head/chest cold right now. I’ve got some hardcore wheezing happening, but the Tussin is helping, so I’m happy about that. I’m just massively congested, and it sucks. I had another job interview yesterday, with the Clean Water Action people, and I think the interview went really well, but it was doing a lot of door-to-door canvassing and I told the woman interviewing me that the door-to-door thing really intimidated me, and I was really better suited for being support staff. I didn’t get a call back, and I’m really not that surprised about it. I would really have liked to have worked for them, but I’m just not suited for what the job was. I applied on a whim, and truthfully was surprised to hear back. So.

I also had a sort of pre-interview/team evaluation with another company that I’m super excited about, but I don’t want to jinx it by talking about it until I know for sure… so if it happens, you’ll hear about it.

With as lousy as I’m feeling today, I’m pretty much taking the day off from everything. I have to clean the kitchen and do laundry, and I really should do that, but I feel so crappy that I think I’m going to hold off on that until tonight. Hooray.
