An interesting week

A lot of things have been going on this week, actually the last two weeks. Last week, I spent the whole week without a voice. I had a sore throat for four or five days, then I lost my voice, and was without for a week. It was strange too because my throat stopped hurting but I still didn't have a voice for a few more days.

But now I'm feeling better, so it's time for the intersting things to happen outside my body. Hmmmmm... that sounds a little grosser than I intended, oh well.

So the manager of my office had his last day yesterday. He resigned to take a position at another company. My office has about 40 people, and is one of four for the company as a whole. Because we are so small relative to the company as a whole, there is a very different atmosphere than at the home office. A lot of people are worried that with the boss leaving, the corporate atmosphere is going to invade and we'll lose our relaxed collegiate way of life. But, we did have a big party last night, where I drank too many scorpian bowls.

It was really odd because by the time everyone was leaving and the last of us got on the T, I was feeling pretty sober. But when I got home and sat on my couch to check my email, my head began to swim and I was suddenly tipsy again. Very bizarre.

But the really big news is my sister's news. I'm going to be an uncle! There is even a possibility that the kid could be born on my birthday! Probably not, since the child would likely be overdue by a couple of weeks by that point, but I was born a couple of weeks late, so when not my sister's child. I hope she realizes that Uncle Peter will spoil the child until such time as I start having children of my own. It is kind of awkward to keep saying the child, but I won't call the kid it, just because I don't know the sex. Although I'm guessing a girl. Or just to freak my sister out, I'm going to guess three girls and a boy (her sister in-laws keep telling her about multiple births being common in the family or something like that).
