Whereas this, whereas that....

Kind of weird right now. I have a lot of work, yet I don't? Does that make sense?

Well, to put it clearer, I have a lot of commitments made to people, but none of them are ready. So here I am sitting on a mound of work I can't start yet. I don't really like being put in this situation but that's the way it is in this business. What's likely to happen now is that they all come in at once and say they're finally ready to go. Then I would be burning the midnight oil like crazy to get everything done.

But I'm not complaining. It's still good to have commitments then none at all.

Today I had to deal with contracts. Not only am I giving them out to people, but I'm also having to make commitments to others...everything from referral contracts, terms of services, non-disclosures, etc. All of which makes me and my company liable for these promises I make. It all comes with the territory but I sure as hell aren't a lawyer. Some of these things can make my head spin and I often have to read these things several times over to make sure I don't make promises I can't keep, or worse yet, make a promise that will fuck my company up for an indefinite period. Legal terms suck.... this is a conspiracy by lawyers to make things so hard you can't understand it. Why can't people say things in these contract that are just plain English?

No siree. I watch enough Judge Judy during my lunch breaks now to know contracts are important hehe.

I picked up my first "big" company equipment purchase last week. A Treo 650 phone. The one that's like a phone and a PDA. I've been good at restricting my spending so far, but the offer just looked too good. Not to mention I had a friend who hooked me up. That's always good huh? The thing is neat.... I now have a wireless headset and I can do all my scheduling on it too. All my contacts email address & phone numbers. My 1216246 passwords. I can even do my Word & Excel stuff on it...AND check and reply to my email as well. It's a geek's paradise I tell you. Once I sell my other PDA I think I should be within my desired spending limit on it.

It just feels uncomfortable making such a big purchase. Still....I'm not in debt. Yay!! Gotta keep an eye on that.

Christy's doing great. Love of my life. Hahaha. Has it gone that far? Yeah, I'm afraid it's progressed to the point where we're pretty much in that phase of a relationship where we're already dropping the pet nicknames. Remember that Sienfield episode where Jerry and his girlfriend where doing all the "shmoopy" pet names and it was driving George and Elaine crazy? Well..... I think we're well into the shmoopyness hahah.

So shameful....we're both aware of the silliness of it all too. Here we are...a Master's Degree registered nurse, and a Graphic Designer with a new business talking like a couple of school kids. I guess it's the new relationship "magic" and I'm fully aware that this magic doesn't last forever. It either mutates to something else -- better or worse. So we're juicing it for all it's worth now!!
