Smaller news

Let's see. The sore throat I complained about on the 20th of September laid me out from two days of work the following week. I've now been feeling chipper as anything for a full week, but I can't stop coughing. It's driving my coworkers crazy.

My company passed its ISO audit with flying colours, and my department was one of the focus areas. Feather in my cap: I got my area looking so good that Boss asked me if we could hold the purchasing assessment in my corner. Insert tiny victory dance here.

I'm eating Cougar Gold cheese, which is light yellow/off-white, very sharp, and makes the tops of my cheeks flush hot, which is a side effect of good cheese that I've never really understood. I don't know enough about cheeses to know what kind Cougar Gold actually is, but the WSU dairy makes it, and wow, it's tasty.

The new Lord of the Rings trailer made me cry, which I expected, but only at the Merry and Pippin bits, which I didn't expect at all. I only cry for characters I identify with, and I've almost always ignored Merry and Pippin. I guess I do feel like a very small soldier in a very large army right now, and that army is LOOKING FOR WORK!

Since I haven't posted in two weeks, my brain is crowded with small and inconsequential thoughts. Some of them, like the cheese and the trailer, may spill out here with more regularity. Or they may not.

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] pamc for my shiny kinda-like-new HEPA filter.
