Eh.
It’s one of those where I’ve been better and I’ve been worse.

And you?

It's been an interesting day. In a good way. *\:-)

Booking the trip to Finland is an... interesting... exercise. But I think it might turn out to be fun, for all it's going to be mind-numbingly intense work. A Swedish co-worker will be with me; our first meeting didn't go so very well but after chatting with him yesterday I realized that when we first met he was horribly jet-lagged.

Had my annual review with my new boss, who essentially was passing on review comments from my old boss (who moved up and sideways on the corporate ladder) and my new boss' boss (who vacated the position my old boss went to), and my boss' boss' boss who used to be my boss' boss. Got all that? Neither do I. *\;-)

Review was best I'd ever had. Even a raise, however small -- a LOT of folks (including my boss, boss' boss, boss's boss' boss, repeat lather and rinse) aren't getting them except for job changes. And my future in this organization looks bright as they begin to realize the value to them in my doing the things I enjoy -- you know, sitting on committees. *\8^P

(I volunteered to join another one today, a Joint Working Group under the purview of the International Standards Organization! Aiiieeeeee...)

But the youngest sionnsareen (who is now a FReeper) is not feeling well. Send up a prayer for her, would you?
