I'm getting promoted as of the end of the year. I have misgivings. I'm not sure it's the direction I want to move towards, and I'm basically taking over someone else's responsibilities because he's being laid off. I think it'll involve a ton of additional work and not a lot more money. My boss says that it's a steppingstone and it'll get me much more involved, plus it'll make me a little more indispensible to the company -- and with this climate right now, that's definitely a good thing. I'm still a bit in shock. I just hope I don't get pigeonholed into this one thing.

Speaking of climate, it's pouring outside. I miss the rain, and I'm glad we're getting some, even if it means I become a bit of a hermit and stay indoors. My attendance at the gym tonight is up in the air (literally, depending on the rain), but I probably should go since we're ordering in a pizza for lunch. What I wouldn't give to be curled up in bed right now at home, watching TV and eating several grilled cheese sandwiches. Blame Eve, she put the idea in my head. However, I will recommend that if you want grilled cheese sandwiches, using a George Foreman Grill is a quick and easy way to make them. They taste so good when you make them that way, much better than just toasted cheese sandwiches, and you don't have to coat them in butter to cook them up in a frying pan.
