noooo way

ok this is big news. i have mondays OFF now. no longer do i have to work 6 days a week, and they're upping my salary by just a bit more. (let's not get crazy - it's still far below poverty line). no more 70-80 hour work weeks. my one-month-longer threat was effective, it seems. or something crazy happened behind the scenes, and they're buttering me up for the blow.

i can hardly believe i have two-day weekends now. i may take a bus to santa cruz or point reyes (fabled birding land of dreams) to celebrate.

also, while i was gone - we received a few small grants. at least i'm not totally worthless - though i never want to write another grant proposal as long as i live.

i've been listening to far too much phil collins. we all have our weaknesses. what. step off.

bye bye
