Been a bit busy...

My coworker is still gone. It doesn't look like she is coming back anytime too soon either... but that doesn't stop me from having nightmares about her return. Seriously. One morning, I woke up so upset because I thought that I had to sit at the damn table again. I was sweating. Every time I blinked, I saw her slouched at the desk, pointing at the dusty wicker chair. In my dream, I begged for her to switch with me, but she wouldn't. I looked to my boss and other coworker to help, but they wouldn't. Funny thing is that I bet that's exactly how it will happen when she does come back. IF she comes back. I'm hoping that she gets really comfortable on disability, that seams like something she would enjoy rather immensely. Plus the weather is nice now.

The slight downfall of her being gone is that we are pretty busy right now, and sometimes that one extra person would come in handy. It's just me and my other coworker handling the crazy. Dealing with my boss' mood swings. Stealing frightened looks at each other when she flips, then venting about the ridiculousness of it all later. Talking secretively about how we think she's either dating someone or drinking. (You have to just be there). Oh, and handling all the work too.

But overall I am pretty happy with my current work situation. I would rather be working straight through the day, with no breaks, than be where I was before. Hiding behind a pile of papers trying to look busy and hoping that my boss didn't spot me sitting there. Our busy office is a good sign that the economy is getting better too! Hopefully I will be out of there as soon as the other coworker decides come back to the office.
Oh! That reminds me:

I've finished the rendering on this finally! I know that you can't tell from this picture but the thing is huge. It's like 2.5' wide by 1.5' high, and there was a lot of detail, so it took a while. Now I can move on to something else. One of my projects in school required us to build a model. It turned out pretty neat, but it's all wood. So I am going to paint it... it shouldn't take long at all, but it will spruce up the portfolio a bit.

There is some other news too, but I'm not going to spill the beans yet. I have a phone call to make before I announce anything.... Oh, the anticipation is killing you isn't it?
