I spent the day with one of my best friends, who's been away for like a month. I won't see her until thanksgiving, but we had a good day. I got a new hoodie!

I put some new plants in the garden, then it started to rain and watered them in nicely. I also got some sheets and towels for the baby and they were heavily discounted! Yay!

My roommate got the new GTA, and I was playing with the radio stations today. I did the biggest double take when an old friend's band was playing in my Grand Theft Auto. We went to summer camp together as kids and went to college together around the time Vice City came out. I've seen a few of his shows lately when he comes to town, but I don't talk to him that much anymore. I'm so glad he's successful, if being on a GTA radio station means success. Way to go, John. edit, here's the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2xfSHyeyAI

My diet is going pretty well, I just turned down a free cookie! Also, I had sort of an a-ha moment just now where I realized the perfect way to blend three story ideas I've been working on into one.

My dad celebrated his 56th birthday today, and he had the best reactions. After giving him his small gifts (Budweiser flip-flops, a Bears football and Cardinals baseball shirt), we took him downstairs for his REAL gift: a 66 inch LCD tv that we all pooled our money for. He was crying with happiness as he watched some Bob's Burgers.  Also, I finally got around to cutting my hair for Locks of Love again. It feels good to not deal with my frizzy mane anymore, and to date I've donated 5 times. Everyone wins!

I saw a big black lab trying to kill the water coming out of a sprinkler at the park. He was all snarling and flipping through the air and poo poo. It was hilarious.

About 2 weeks ago I got temporarily "promoted" to a higher position at work - initially I was a support engineer, and got moved to what's considered a primary engineer (usually more tech knowledge, experience, and sort of a first point of contact for clients). Anyhow, the other primary engineer I work with was WAY swamped and we had a bunch of tickets that hadn't been dealt with, so I jumped in and just started knocking stuff out that I knew about immediately, and when it got to tougher things or areas I wasn't sure about, I worked with my engineer partner and we got it all hammered out. We started with almost 60 tickets, and in the first week we cut that number in half - and that included other calls and tickets we were getting in during that time. My boss had one-on-one meetings with everyone, and told me how impressed he was that my partner engineer and I got so much knocked out in such a short time. He admitted he didn't expect that much of a difference, but it floored him how willing I was to step up and shoulder the extra work to help out my coworker so he wouldn't get swamped and be stressed out. Even my coworker had been talking me up about how surprised he was that things were getting done, clients were happy and giving great feedback, and how nice it was to have someone to rely on that could get things finished and wasn't afraid to ask questions. My manager is trying to pull some strings now to see if he can get me in this position permanently, which usually doesn't happen until at least 6 months of employment with the company. On top of that, one of the girls in sales went out and got a couple 6 packs of pumpkin beer for our little office group (about 8 of us total) and we sat around bullshitting and having a couple beers for the last hour or so of the day. That, and we got to prank a couple other guys who were out of town for a client meeting all day, we ended up toilet papering both their cars before we took off. I can honestly say I LOVE my goddamn job, between all that happened today, having a laid back environment, and being able to use the LAN over lunch to play UT or Goldeneye deathmatch, it's a far cry from any of the other tech jobs I've had.

My girlfriend and I have finished all non-exam assessment for the semester. We spent the weekend together to celebrate. For the past 48 hours I haven't been sober or eaten anything other than Nando's. My body's gonna hate me tomorrow, but this weekend has been awesome while it's lasted.

My day's not really awesome BUT I am so grateful I can just call my dad and be like, "Okay, I need to start saving for retirement soon, but I don't actually know how to go about doing that?" and have him walk me through it. I know that's a dumb-rear end question but seriously, no one has ever informed me of how this works exactly and I'm not going to be a student forever.

Saturday night I set the world record for high score in the arcade version of Splatterhouse! And then I broke that record a few hours later! And last night I found out I might have been the first woman in nearly thirty years to set an arcade high score!

This weekend I toured the city I will be moving to come march. Younger population, much more variety in restaurants and a lot of cool stores. And closer to Chicago where my friends and family are instead of being far in the suburbs, which hasn't been great for my social life. Very much looking forward to renting a house with my brother and working from home full time. 6 years of living alone in an apartment is enough. And it should cut my rent/utility obligation per month by a few hundred.

Just found out that one of my life dream's may be easier to attain than I'd originally thought. Now I'm bursting with excitement about something that isn't even going to happen for years and may actually never happen, but I don't care! It may be possible and that makes me heart explode.

Today is Halloween, my favorite holiday, and I still have no plans tonight. The business I work for is looking at letting go of some people on my team if we don't meet a deadline by next month. We had a meeting today and it didn't go well. I was feeling low. I got called into the owner's office today. He asked me if I enjoyed working here, and asked me how busy I've been. At the end of the conversation, he said that they had decided to give me a raise. It comes with more responsibilities, but better pay.

One of the many trick or treaters we had last night greeted my finace with "I'm santa clause!" as he opened the door. My dog helped us give out candy with a tutu around her neck and she was perfectly well behaved and not scared at all. One little kid declined more than 1 piece of candy because his younger brother couldn't eat any and he didn't think it was fair for him to have too much. Three little boys all around 2-3 years old had no clue what the hell they were doing and had to be told multiple times to open their bags for candy really just wanted to get their pictures taken with the big spider next to our door after they saw that it moved. One kid was so happy that we had MnMs that he declared our house the best Halloween house ever. I love Halloween.

I discovered I have an opposite-gender doppelgaenger today. I was sitting across from a dude on the train who had the exact same hair, eyes, nose, height as me, everything - except he was a dude. He was even wearing a similar coat! We didn't talk to each other, we just sort of stared for a minute and looked a bit puzzled, then looked away. I wanted to say, "let your beard grow in a little, it will give our jaw a bit more definition and that option isn't open to me".
