Waiting and watching

I was sad to discover that I wasn't the first to think of "procrastineater," because it dawned on me that's exactly what happens when productivity wanes. Because of course a rice cake and a pickle were crucial to finishing this job application...  

Urban Dictionary- procrastineating: Avoiding being productive by consuming food even when one is not hungry.

In other news, job news is a revolving door of not quite yet, but maybe again for the summer.

In much better news: the journeyman returns to the US in 17 days!!! He has all the mandatory debriefing in Georgia, but we should be reunited in roughly three weeks. Very, very, ready for this.

Phone Fun vol. II

This is what a pretty typical Skype attempt looks like when you're talking to a servicemember in Afghanistan. I don't think we've yet had an uninterrupted conversation- the wind blows, it rains, one of our computers panic or hubs' neighbors all start Skyping or doing whatever causes the internet to crash. This particular conversation even started on another text chat site and went on for several more connections and disconnections- something like 13 mini-calls in all, and probably 30 minutes of actual conversation over the hour and a half of calling, dropping, waiting, calling again.

But in about a month, I'll just have to get used to having one conversation in person without interruptions. So ready.
