Ah, yes...

The joys of bureaucracy. I just place my third call in two days to the HR dept where I used to work to try to find out the exact status of my disability.... as in, when it ends, when the last check arrives, etc. So many questions, so few people willing to answer them. The woman who was my contact has now left (probably drummed out for being too helpful.) I'm trying to avoid the one who told me that if I couldn't handle the multi-tasking of getting permits for several multi-million dollar building projects at once, I couldn't handle the multi-tasking of secretarial work, either. (I never missed a deadline, BTW, despite their trash talk.) I don't think I can handle an attitude that helpful right now.

Livia invited me over for dinner last night and I took my GRE study guides. She helped me study math. She's really good at that stuff-- seems to be almost intuitive. The best news of all, though, is that after a bit of prompting and review, I remembered a lot more than the exact stuff she'd reviewed with me. In other words, it's starting to come back. Whew!

I've been reading the language review stuff in short-term bits and when I'm tired-- sort of around the edges of bigger blocks of time. I'm not nearly as stressed about that.

I wrote a note to my downstairs neighbor last night about the loud noises she believes are coming from my apartment. I tried several times to contact her in person with no success. I used a card made from the painting I did for this icon for my stationery, with my name on the back as the artist. Just a little subtle reference to the quiet lady who just paints all day. Heh.

Good news about the GRE! Hooray!

And I hope the 'noise' situation gets worked out...
