think i'm coming down with something. feels like allergies -- my eyes are watery, runny nose, and head congestion. blacchhh! the roommate is deftly ill as well -- at least he's away in orlando.

found out yesterday that i didn't get the promotion i was try to go for -- the supervisor position for my workgroup. it's okay -- just kinda bummed about it. my boss was being kinda vague about the whole thing though. we'll be finding out sometime next week on our conference call.

the weather here is apparently going back to *normal* -- cool temps and heavy fog / overcast skies in the AM's and then clearing up around noon. i think it's about 66 degrees right now here in oakland! it was in the 80's just the day before yesterday. that's probably why i'm kinda feeling a bit sick right now.

excited about going back to dc this weekend. it's my birthday this friday! i'll be 35 -- not sure if i should be excited or depressed.
