Entry: Way way late... Oct 24, 2005



So, about 3 weeks ago I went to my supervisor and asked for a title change.  I mentioned that a raise would also be nice, but was ultimately more concerned with the title, since I've been in this position for nearly 6 years and honestly believe I do more than my title/job description suggests.  A week later he comes back to me with the results of my annual review.  No title change, and less than a 3% increase.  It was not a good day in LeahLand.

That evening when I got home however, I came home to find my final package from my SP5!  I'm going to have a neighbor come over and take a picture of what's left (because heaven knows the chocolates are long gone with a little assistance from Husband).  So, I would like to take this opportunity to a) thank Jennifer profusely for the AMAZING package because seriously, you didn't have to do all that!  b) apologize for being so tardy in my acknowledgement.  So this is the contents of said package:

  • 3 skeins of Blue Sky Alpaca Cotton yarn to make my Itty a Bobbi Bear!!!
  • The most adorable knit enhanced white denim jacket you've ever seen, that Itty just adores! (hehe, it's even got "Itty" on the pocket!)  I'm going to try to get a pic of Itty in it, but lately she won't stand/sit still long enough for a pic.
  • A pair of Lantern Moon needles!
  • C-H-O-C-O-L-A-T-E (dude, these were awesome!)
I really hope I didn't miss anything... I've got it mostly together though just in case I did, it'll all be in the pic.

So I guess the reason I haven't really been blogging lately is because I've been looking for a new job.  I have been getting my desk ready to leave so no one can say I left a mess.  I had to take Itty in for a dentist appt last week and afterwards, I had an interview.  She called to tell me that they loved me, and if they can manage to talk the CEO into meeting my salary request, they'll be making the offer this week... please keep your fingers crossed for me!

I should probably update what's going on on the knitting front, huh?  I'm such a dork.

Anyway, Cozy is long finished... I'm wearing her right now actually.  I've started Arisaig in black DB Baby Cashmerino and I"ll be accenting with pink (go figure!).  I've also finally started a blanket for Itty.  I never really found a pattern that I really liked, until I saw Kathy's Purple Ruffle Blanket.  So, I decided to kinda make one.  I say kinda because I'm not doing it exactly the same, I'm using CottonTots and making random stripes in dark pink, light pink, white and lavender.  I'm also using size 11 and 5 needles instead of 15 and 5.  It won't be nearly as large as hers either, but so far, I'm loving it.  Perhaps I'll try to get a pic of that when I"m getting a pic of my package from Jennifer.  Dang, I guess that's all... man it's been quiet on the knitting front!

I hope the silence on the blog front means that things went well with the interview, and you're just setlling in to a new job!

Good luck with the job search!

I hope you can take a pic of Itty's ruffle blanket. It sounds gorgeous!

I just started my Cozy. Hopefully I'll finish it before spring. Yikes.
