Oh happy day!!!!
Today is the first day in the life of Daniel Thor, my brand new nephew. He bounced into the world almost as fast as his very impatient older sister. He is 61/2 lbs and 20" 'tall'. We are of course thrilled to bits but also sad that we can't be there, but Norway is too far to go.
On another note, I escaped from the crazy gig in midtown but it took 6 months (!) I now have another temp thing going at a much better place, but terrible office environment. I guess there is no way to have it all, after all. I sit in a little windowless basment cube with mice and water bugs running around, but the people are super nice and no one ever says ax as a mean of questioning something. Apparently this used to be a morgue about a 100 years ago and there are reports of sightings of a bona-fide ghost who apprently likes to just 'hang' around. I haven't seen him, but I wish he would try to clean up a little, typical men!! Instead I find myself practically doing the River Dance routine to stomp out the pesky little critters, and wipe everything down with Lysol to get rid of the mouse droppings (Hanta Virus anyone?).
It is hot, hot, hot and humid and horrible, which is especially awful since there was hardly any spring this year. One week I am shivering in a fleece jacket and the next struggling to istall the air conditioner. But this too shall pass and hopefully I'll find myself gainfully employed by fall.
