updates: so far, i love working for the pope. i am also pretty damned cranky, and if you want me to do something, it'd be a good idea to ask me rather than waiting for me to figure out that it needs doing. yes, this is personally directed at you. and you, and you.

on the other hand, the family reunion was fun this weekend, and the dogs are happeeeee to have me home. so, that's good. must concentrate on the fuzziness of puppies.
