... though almost barely.
Been consumed with work as last week was our Summer Workshop in New York City, which also means that I have earned comp-time up to wazzu (no, not talking about that other school, just a phrase). Took Monday and Tuesday off, been in the office Wednesday through today, though might leave early as now that even though I slept all last weekend to recouperate from the adventure, my body has decided to have cold-like symptoms. Not good considering that I'm in San Fran to see my sis and celebrate her marraige with Marc this time next week.
Things learned:
* I'm not being fairly compensated for the time I'm working, but then again not like I was really working all that much during the week - just sitting at the reception desk "on call" - but I still claim that to be time that I was working. I would rather get the OT pay than more days off considering that I get 24 days of paid time off for the year and what are the chances that I will use the 16 that have to be used or lost? I guess a longer vacation will be taken in Seattle at Christmas time.
* Can't VPN everywhere
* Ground Zero still has an impact to a person who experienced 9/11 on the West Coast
* New York is an impressive city, but not a city for me. I like Seattle better... but I'm biased.
Wish I had more insightful things to say... this blog seems to be dwindling. Though considering I set this up to share my chronicals of moving cross-country, it has fulfilled it's duty.
About Me
What's in a name?
I must say it took a lot of thinking to come up with my blogger identity. The name first comes from my maiden initials, hence the capitalization. How the name sounds when you read it comes courtesy of a former boss - "de envy (of [name something here])." From there, I played with the spelling, blending French and German translations just like my name. If one pulls out all possible translations to create a phrase, one gets, "the envy in serving life." Let's just hope that I can live up to my name...
Things one notices in life...
- According to some people, New Jersey is the "armpit of America," right? Guess that's why the color of the license plate reminds you of an armpit stain...
- No matter the intentions upon entering, one always leaves Target spending at least $100

Seattle is certainly easier to like. It takes my breath away every time I go back and I go south across the I-5 bridge to Capitol Hill. NY/NJ is a difficult place to truly feel comfortable... I'm only still here because Seattle was getting too quiet.
