Awkward At First

My face is frozen in a perma-smile. Funny how it gets like this when I go back to working in an office. Yeah, that's what it is.

For those of you we haven't talked to since it ended... Jon's defense went as well as could be expected. In fact, he prides himself on how accurate he was in visualizing it all beforehand. He started a little after 11 and they went for over 2 hours. Now, he has one more rewrite (hopefully, it's not that dramatic) and it's Doctor Jon all the way. (His colleagues told him they were going to have his name plate changed out for him when he gets back... the "Mr." for a "Dr."... sounds like a great plan!)

In other news, I spent two hours or more in my boss's office chatting with her this afternoon. Gosh... I forget how much I love spending time with her. It's hard because she's going through tough times personally right now, and I want her to be able to talk to me about it if she needs/wants to. But I don't want to be the pusher. So, I just ask her if she's doing okay. Sometimes just that simple little question (no matter how you ask it) means the world to someone. I know it means everything to me.
