yawn. just another day at work on a saturday (yes, i'm whining). our plant is in the middle of migration to a new MRP system, and it's quite the undertaking.
but it's a lot of "hurry up and wait," so currently, i'm waiting. on the bright side, there's enough food around here to provide for a small village for a week or so. and coffee of course. caffeine - the productivity tool of champions.
tomorrow is st. hallow's eve, if you haven't gotten the memo. tonight, we're all headed to downtown blacksburg for a night of fun in costume. still haven't come to a final decision on what to wear though.
in the meantime, i'm going to go grab another cup of coffee....

In Which Autumn Attends a Beach Party
so this one is super old -- dredged up from September 2000 -- but i think most are aware of my long running obsession with all things fall:
In which Autumn attends a beach party
There’s a chill in the air tonight that I had long forgotten,
as if Autumn had suddenly strolled into a beach party
draped in a cloak of fiery leaves-
(just yesterday, I could have sworn they were green)
but now here she is, surrounded by them,
with her auburn hair tumbling over bare shoulders.
How could anyone have forgotten her beauty?
Her presence is striking, and suddenly the Sun
seems too harsh for the setting.
Knowingly, he fades into the sky and the light becomes softer.
Unsure now if she plans to stay, we glance wistfully at the trees,
then the calendar. How did the months slip by
when only minutes ago the Sun burned so intensely?
Autumn seems to sense our reluctance-
with a soft smile and a nod of reprieve,
she slips through the crowd and disappears.
A single flame-colored leaf floats to the ground where she stood,
a reminder that Autumn is close by and Summer grows distant.

Fog by Carl Sandburg
The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

the early bird gets the...audits done?
was here at 6:30 am this morning :) which is pretty good considering my goal was 6.
in other news, i have no hair! it's all gone. seriously, i had it cut on wednesday, and she straightened it, so it seemed longer, but today, it's one big ball of curls :)
back to work! :) and then class, and then work, and then party! :)
