Today is my last day contracting for SMI. On Wednesday we got the word that the department had lost funding, so Shari (the other PM) and myself were out at the end of the week.
I'll miss the people, the routine and the money :-)

Slow day
It's a slow day. I'm working from home, but I've still had time to check my personal e-mail, apply for a job (8 month contract) and make some cookies. And it's only 1:30pm.
It's weird how spam trends change, I have almost stopped getting smut, viagra and lonely housewife e-mails. I would guess that 70% of the spam e-mails (that slip through my 3 filters) now assume that I am desperate for a Rolex; Genuine Replicas Watches, Swiss Watches, she told me you wanted a watch, Rolex is forever. From sex to watches... strange progression.
I know I shouldn't get political on this blog, but today I just can't help it. I have a question for Bush. So Bush says that he answers to a higher power, his decisions were made with help from God. Well, no matter how you reason it we're in Iraq basically to secure oil for the US, er, not to fight terrorism. So, what I want to know is why hasn't Bush's God told him about wind power, solar power and tidal power? These resources are feely available in the US, will always be available and don't pollute the environment. How many quillions of US dollars could be saved by having less pollution clean-up, less health risks and deaths? No oil slicks, no exhaust induced asthma attacks, no brown clouds, fewer oil refineries....

What happened to September, or part of October for that matter?
It came, I was busy and it went. Work has been crazy busy, I'm working on more projects than I ever have. I'm working on more projects than is comfortable. If my job is like juggling plates, I feel it's just a matter of time before I break a plate; tight ecconomy, company saving money, resources stretched, whatever - it's not going to change.
Compared to August, I'm not so sure about working from home. It's okay for the most part, but work is a little lonely. I can go for days without leaving the house, and with Chris studying, life is lonely. I miss human contact. I keep telling myself, they're paying me pretty well (even if I can't claim the hours I work over 40), I don't have to deal with a 40min drive, I don't have to fuel my car so much, I don't have to buy office clothes (actually that's not agood one, I miss dressing up), I can be with the cats (they're so cute, especially when I'm on conference calls), I'm not tempted by the candy machines (damn those jelly beans) and I get to work in a purple office.
