I am really getting excited about the possibilty of going to business school. Thank goodness...because not much else is exciting me these days! Work is killing me...nobody on my team is happy and I do not know how to make things better - all these b-school essays are about leadership and yet here I am with a group of fairly miserable employees and I am at a loss for how to turn things around. My unhappiness at the new company doesn't help things any! And I guess there is only so much you can lead when you have no power to affect any change. But I don't want to complain.

I want Wesley Clark to inspire me more. For some reason, I am not loving Howard Dean anymore - in fact he is bugging me. They are all bugging me. I am afraid of four more years of George W. Bush. But I have started to think that it is where we are headed...so I am trying to come to grips with it early.


Uninspired to write. I gotta snap out of it.

I am looking forward to Thanksgiving this year. I hope I am able to pull off soup for 10! Hopefully Space can help me (and maybe loan me a food processor and a big soup pot!)...he is a great cook and I would be very very psyched for his help...

I need to put down the "pen" for a while.

Last night Leslie said, "Men are like buses...there's always another one around the corner." And then Rocky said, "Men are like taxis, you can only get where you want to go if the taxi's light is on (i.e., if it's available)." Then we agreed that men are more like buses than taxis because whereas a taxi has his light on and that makes it obvious whether or not it is available, men often time are not that easy to read.

And anyway, last night, a few hours after I laughed at Leslie's metaphor, I started to wonder if she was, in fact, right about that theory. It seems that another bus may have come my way last night...but I don't know. We will see what happens. In the meantime, I am still a little sad about the bus I just left behind (or rather, the bus that left me behind!)...but I know I will get over it soon enough!

Time for bed...what a weekend...lots of activity, not a lot of productivity!
