Hi, Michele!
Thanks for the e-greeting card. (So lovely!) We went to our lunch at the Olive Garden. The boss didn’t pick up the bill for all of us, but it was still good. I don’t mind paying for food that good! You mentioned a Portobello sub - I think I would like that! I tried to order a Portobello sandwich at Ruby Tuesday’s recently - to try those mushrooms I’ve heard so much about - but they were out. Do portobellos taste like steak? I’ve heard that they did.
The guy that was our "guest of honor" at lunch is one of our employees that has found a job elsewhere. How I hated to hear that he was going - I think he is so nice and so attractive. And so married. 
With a child. Oh, well. C’est la vie! I can be encouraged knowing there are some good guys out there … well one good guy anyway.
Things must be getting better for me: this morning my wonky coffee pot did not have an overflow of water, which it has been doing for weeks. It’s bad when the first thing you have to do in the morning is clean up the mess from your coffee pot: it doesn’t bode well for the day.
It’s nice that we had that luncheon today. Between that and my class I’ll have a short day. Woo hoo!
I checked the new TV Guide yesterday and they are scheduled to show the Angel season premiere next week. Pshew! As I was turning the pages to see if they were showing it, I was telling my sister, "I can’t breathe!" I was so thrilled to see that it’s *supposed* to come on. It would be tough to review the show for that web site if I couldn’t see the episodes!
I finished my HW (due today) last night about 8:37 pm; shortly thereafter I was in a considerably better mood. I don’t mind doing the work, but I hate for it to take so long. I have been working on those seven problems since he assigned them on Monday the 10th. Finally they’re done and I have about half a day to enjoy the freedom of it all before he assigns us some more monsters this afternoon. School really womps! I will admit that while I was working the problems yesterday I realized that I do actually find that class and my whole course of study very interesting. It’s just frustrating when I find some of the problems tough; it sometimes makes me wonder if I should consider a change of major!
Oh, yes my hair. It turned out okay - he cut my bangs so they go a different way. (What can I say, my look is ever changing.) It’ll be interesting to see how they turn out when I style them myself. I was glad the cut and style still looked good enough to get me through today. I wanted to look extra special for Gary’s last day. He’s supposed to come by the office this afternoon to return his badge and stuff. Where’s my lipstick? 
I have to go, I actually have a project this afternoon.
Talk to you soon! God bless!
Anne
PS - Watch out for that new computer virus. You can actually get it from visiting websites that are on infected servers. What sort of geek/creep sits around thinking of this stuff and trying to ruin everyone else’s computers?!
