10 28 pm pst [ both ]
We are both so exhausted as to be non-functional. We
must have gone to bed around 4 am last night, after a late-night run down
to Matthew's office so he could pick up some equipment he dropped off in
Berkeley this morning. One of his co-workers was still there when we left
and Matthew has speculated that he didn't go home at all.
When I arrived at work a class was gathered around a
large fire on the other side of the parking lot, but I didn't have time to
investigate.
Work passed quickly today, despite my being tired. My
co-worker "Bee" is leaving the job so he has begun making his goodbyes to
the little ones. I have taken them to the computer lab every day this
week and we are having a good time exploring what you can do with two
dozen Macintoshes.
My supervisor is friendly with most of the people at
the school, and especially with one woman in the office, who today offered
to buy us all burritos. I felt awkward being bought a meal by this woman
who I really don't know at all but I decided to go with the flow. My
tortilla filled with black beans, rice and salsa was delicious.
We have almost finished our Christmas presents and I
got a package in the mail today. It is a beautiful present all prefectly
wrapped with inviting ribbons and a bow, but Matthew says I have to wait
until Christmas to open it. I have e-mail the gift's sender to find our
if this is really true. I'm so excited to tear into it!
