1. Picking up two guest passes to the Cooper-Hewitt museum as part of the schwag from Wednesday's volunteering.
2. Lunch with AJ, BB, and SA.
3. Dan picking up the keys from the realtor. Keys!!
4. Succeeding in making my first pivot table ever.
5. Drowning the sorrows of finding out we're moving into an apartment that won't have electricity until next Friday by watching many episodes of Say Yes to the Dress.
6. Some rather sweet stories on Say Yes to the Dress, actually, including one father/daughter set and another one a plus-sized women. Of course, there was also a deliciously spoiled and horrible daddy's little rich girl that really needs to work in a customer service role for even just an hour.

5/27/10

1. Slices of watermelon at lunch.
2. Nothing too difficult coming up in the first long training session I TA'ed, and in fact I learned a few things myself. 
3. Finishing up some tests I'd set up to figure out what's possible after a proposal's start date has past.
4. Dinner at the office to avoid cooking/packing.
5. Buying a bunch of Glee songs off of iTunes.
6. Getting a lot of packing done to said Glee songs. Packing isn't so bad when you're dancing around from one room to another.

5/26/10

1. All the waiting around after waking up early to cheer for kids visiting the office actually turning out to be worth it. I think we scared some of them but mostly they all look really excited.
2. Listening to various Glee and Lady Gaga songs on YouTube throughout the day.
3. Occasional blasts of cool air from inside the museum as we waited on the steps for the kids to arrive.
4. Efficient team meeting.
5. DF staying late and going through his massive SQL query to explain it to me.
6. Reading bits of Harry Potter 5 and 6 to further procrastinate from packing.

5/25/10

1. Avocado slices back in for breakfast, Monday's mushy guac just wasn't the same on the toasted hollowed out bagel combo.
2. Making the decision to skip a training class to attend to a client issue. It was a good decision, though I felt bad about canceling so last minute.
3. Efficient 1:1 with my manager, finding out that my ticket stats are pretty good actually. Also, I can now run the query myself to pull the data!
4. Only getting a few calls during my afternoon shift.
5. Dan having dinner made and ready for me just as I got home.
6. Glee further returning to form with its Lady Gaga/KISS episode. Idina Menzel yayyyy!

5/24/10

1. Lunch with BB (and AJ and MG nearby, though they officially had a different lunch meeting).
2. Nothing too troublesome coming up during the training exercise I TA'ed. I'm always a little worried they'll run into something that'll take serious troubleshooting, but it was fine.
3. Hour-long talk with my manager about career development.
4. Meeting with SL to talk about tool development and learning PHP. Should be a fun side project!
5. Dan getting to a Nassim Nicholas Taleb event at B&N just in time to get us seats near the back.
6. Dan smoothing over the author's awkward reaction to my telling him he was hilariously mean by just saying 'thank you for the talk' and ushering us out of there. I think he was actually a little offended by it.

5/23/10

1. Eating as much red duck curry and watermelon as possible before leaving my parents'.
2. PATH train right there when I got off from NJTransit.
3. Officially getting started with packing by putting away decorative items.
4. Making the meat sauce for dinner and Dan being so pleased he practically licked his plate.
5. Delicious shower, I hadn't realized I got quite so grimy from public transit + packing, but evidently so.
6. Having a Trader Joe's fruit popsicle for dessert.

5/22/10

1. Waking up well-rested at 9, leaving enough time to just laze around for awhile.
2. Getting everything ready for Dan's return with the car right on time.
3. Lunch of red duck curry, exactly what I was going to ask my mom for but she knew anyway.
4. Picking up my trusted brand of sunscreen (Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunblock) at Costco with my mom. Also got a watermelon, mmmmmmm best food ever.
5. Going for a walk with my mom and the dogs where they slowed down enough for me.
6. Interest in the coffee table and side table we're trying to sell from someone in our building. Fingers crossed that he takes it off our hands.
