I'm fairly exhausted, but otherwise in good spirits about the new job, the next two weeks, and the big 2006 megillah itself. More on that later, but given that '06 has gone and packaged itself so precisely (my contract ends on December 15), it's going to be an unusually distinct challenge to piece together what sorts of things I'm going to want to be achieving over the course of the year. Jeez, I might even have to have bona fide Resolutions, a policy I usually eschew in favour of a "don't wait till Jan 1 to set your goals" approach to life. But hey. I've done some preliminary work on it all, but more later. Right now I'm just hoping I have enough black socks to last out the week.

Tonight I shall prepare myself a sumptuous Kraft Dinner repaste, watch movies, and try to ignore my cough.
