They don't really like me

Work
On the work front, I had some devastating news. Okay, I still have a job but the debacle over the summer with the COO cost me 20% of my bonus this year. I have to think that this isn't a good fit for me. So in spite of my advice to others and hearing good advice from others, I started looking. And it made me tired to think of getting comfortable at another place. And I don't really want to leave the current project I am on.

AWB
Making big progress but did not poop for 3 solid days. Both Wong Auntie and I were concerned. And she had diaper rash. Two days in a row, no nap but konks out at 6:30pm. She sings "Happy Birthday" really really well. We walked together to school today and she went along happily.

I visited Lesley Ellis and I really was very impressed. I hope we can swing it financially.

HKB
Exhausted still and sad. I mentioned his dad's comments about the "March of the Penguins" and he asked me not to talk about it. I'm almost crying as I write this memory of his comments. HKB's dad wasn't at all impressed or moved by the documentary. He said in a kind of exasperated tone, "They are penguins, that is what they do". Once he said that, I kind of thought that the movie was a bit pointless.
