So I’ve been a little busy lately. Imagine my surprise when I pulled up my blog today and saw it was completely blank! When your job involves giving people advice about the stock market and the stock market decides to lose its fucking mind for an extended period of time, life can get complicated. While I personally don't give the advice, it is my job (in a way) to ensure that advice gets from the advice givers to the customers in a timely fashion. This entails, well, a lot of time and effort on my part, to keep it nice and vague. Although really, half of the people at my company have blogs now, so I don’t think writing about my job carries the same peril as it did before. Still, better safe than sorry.

Anyway, work=busy and exhausting. Plus I’ve been doing the whole getting up earlier thing, which leaves me even more exhausted. And then they (they being the guv’mint) had to go and move daylight savings time up, which means that for the last two days I got up even earlier. I heard an interview with some expert on the radio who said that if you get thrown off by switching the clock forward one hour, you probably have some underlying sleep problem. Well, duh. I could have told him that.

And hey, I turned 37. I ate Indian food and brownies, and got presents, and fielded calls from friends and family. I have no complaints about that, although it is a little weird to be officially in my late thirties. My friend Laila recently came across a videotape from our Beach Week trip after we graduated from high school, and she claims that I have not changed a bit, but I know that is a lie. Back then I was thinner, blonder, and had way less grey hair. Being 18 was fun, but overall I’d say life is definitely better now, grey hair, crazy stock market and all.
