Week wrap-up

Well. This has been one long week, I must say. We are putting together a large proposal at work and I was tasked with the job of figuring out level of effort across 6 years and translating that into multi-million dollar government contract. Hi. Say what? Um, I did not receive the memo and/or TPS report on this particular topic. I am in charge of statistics and methodology and you know, general 'making things happen'. These are things I know. Contracting? Not so much. Cost-plus/fixed-fee mumblemumblesomething or other = ? to this girl. And to top it off, I had to work with a crazy-cat lady accountant who is kind of new to the job? And who likes to talk rather than dealing with a spreadsheet at 7pm on a Friday night essentially keeping me hostage? Plus also, huh? So yeah. Long week.

Yesterday was an interesting exercise in It's A Small World Afterall. We took the dogs to the dog park here and met the only other lesbian couple in town (the old guard lesbian we met a month ago with her dog does not a couple count). That might not seem all that strange. There are lesbians in this town apparently. BUT what if I threw in that they had moved from KS a couple of years ago and miss it. What if I then threw in that one of the women used to work in the same building as I did and got her PhD there (granted, years after me, but). What if I threw in that the other one had the same name as the agent and spells it exactly the same way. What if I threw in that the one who worked in my building years ago now currently works in the building next to the agent. What if I threw in that the one with the same name works at the vet place we now take our dogs. What if I finally threw in the fact that they are big Chiefs fans and are all about watching football on Sundays. Yes! I have finally found some beer drinking buddies! Hello, Midwest Represent in action!

So today I'm chilling out. The agent is off doing some agenty thing today and tomorrow so again the house to myself. The weather has cooled off thankfully and it's been kind of rainy and just nice. We opened the windows and it's been great at night. Very cool, only in the high 70s this week so that helps my attitude. I will be able to face the city again.

This week is a short one and after last week, I must say TFG. Headed north on Thursday for a very long and very needed weekend out of here and with her...
