catsittingstillI really should be in bed. But I just got done napping for about 4 hours and I'm not really sleepy yet. I was just going to check my e-mail real quick and it's an hour later...
It looks like I am going to be getting that job at the University of Tennessee crystallography lab. Chris (my boss-to-be) called me today and asked me to come in and fill out some paperwork. I think by the time you're filling out a W4 you've pretty much got the job, yes? Anyway--it will be great to get back into a lab; I walked in today and felt some part of myself look around and say "ah yes, discarded equipment lines the hall, clusters of people next to the sink--I recognize this." On the other hand, I'm nervous about doing a good job. This is not helped by the fact that Chris apparently sent me an e-mail Thursday that I never received. So now I have to figure out what went wrong there; I *depend* on my e-mail.
In other news, I wrote a song yesterday. I got the tune for it playing with Shannon the day before, but finished putting the words together (mostly) yesterday.
Let the winter winds blow, let the winter rain fall
Let the winter fog rise till I can't see at all
But there's nothing so likely to get me to grin
As the dulcimer's dance with the bright mandolin.
Let the dulcimer sing through the cold winter nights,
Let the mandolin dress it in twinkling lights,
Welcoming, joyful, the music will burn
Lighting the way for the sun to return.
Let the summer sun shine, let the spring winds run free
Oh December or June makes no difference to me,
For the holidays live in the tunes flowing by;
They are Christmas and Easter, the Fourth of July.
Repeat first verse
