I got the kids' grades in the mail several days ago. As always, everyone aced their math class. Other classes, not so much. Son1 and Son2 had almost straight Ds (with a couple exceptions). Son3 got almost straight As, so he earned a new video game for the PS2. For the summer, they are going to mostly spend my work-week with their dad, and the weekends with me, the exception being July 4 weekend and the week that I'm in California for Comic-Con.

Speaking of Comic-Con, in exchange for Marco (so he can be donated to charity and claimed as a tax deduction), butterfly's mom bought my plane tickets, a family membership to OMSI, and gave me $100. I think I made out pretty good. ;) So I'll be flying south on Monday the 20th and returning Monday the 27th of July.

As previously mentioned, I applied for a promotion at my work. Officially, I didn't get it. Unofficially, I made the short list. I'm okay with this. The boss suggested I apply for QA next time it opens -- which is a better fit for the things I'd really like to do for the department, anyway. My very cool boss did not come out and say this (I only just realized now about that being a better fit), but he did suggest I apply for future support staff positions, and mentioned QA specifically.

DJ at Love from the Asexual Underground posted a video that got me thinking on what I make. It came at about the time I finished reading The Vagina Monologues, and it might just inspire me to actually type up and post my reaction to that book. On other topics, I want to say stuff, but I'm currently in a place where I'm kind of floundering for a concrete message. So if I do stay on that horse, don't expect much more than articulated confusion. Surely I'll get better over time.

Though maybe I need to visit my therapist again.
