Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

I'm immensely cheerful today, so I thought I'd share my general happiness. I mean, I still have money worries and stuff but there are many small things that are helping me not to worry about that and keeping me chipper. (And I also know those worries are temporary.)

When the work office move first came up, I recall TooBrightTies asking me if I had any special seating requirements. I said I wanted to be facing the office and have the majority of the folks on my right side (the side I can hear out of). So guess where I initially was sitting? Yep, with my back to the majority of the office and with most everyone to my left. *sighs deeply* (When I say majority of the office, I mean our half of it, we are sharing a very long room with another department) Anyway, today I squeaked about it to Foghorn and so it was duly arranged that I swap places with SmartAlec* so that lo! I am facing all of our section of the office and everyone's on my right! *dances* You've no idea how much easier this is going to make my life. It does mean that tomorrow we have to faff about moving all our stuff but eh, once done it's done so that's all good.

In a continued burst of efficiency, I stopped by the sorting office on the way home (my nearest post office) and got stamps for all my international Christmas cards. So they're on their way. I only had to sell a kidney to afford the postage ;) Though when I think about what's involved getting a card to the other side of the world, I can't really grumble too hard about the price. And it's for Christmas soooo.... :)

This weekend I shall continue to be efficient and do the domestic cards and get 'em out the door. I say I'm going to do this every year but I think this year I actually might. Stay tuned :D

Another bit of news that's making me a Very Happy Mousey is that the "Rent - Filmed Live on Broadway" DVD will be on sale 3rd Feb 2009! Yay!!!!! This is the recording of the Rent stage show I saw in NYC and it'll be that cast too, so it's going to be a fabulous keep sake for me. Plus close up shots of Tracie! Eeee! AND just in time for my birthday! It's like they knew or something :D (And no, it won't be on my birthday wishlist - that is one thing that I'm going to be buying myself, roughly 2 nanoseconds after it's released :D )

803am is writing me a Cold Case fic for Christmas! It was to my specifications so sooooon I will be reading Angsty!KatMiller fic about her early days in Philly Homicide! Eee! *bounces happily*

And on Sunday 7th and Tuesday 9th, Leverage's first season will officially start *polishes her bittorrent client with glee* Oh I do hope it lives up to my expectations!

So yeh, 'm a cheerful mousey. And why not? I'm a lucky kid :)

* Alec isn't his name and I may try and come up with a better nickname for him. Although SmartAlec says it reasonably well :)
