We've been given a bit of a reprieve at work - the office relocation date has been pushed back from January 31st to February 15th. This is welcome in that it gives me more time to clean, organize and pack; I've been so busy over the last couple of weeks that I really haven't made a lot of headway in that regard.

This blog is lame
Posted on 4:29 PM by jackline
In 2006, I posted 130 entries on this blog.In 2007, I posted 102.That's pretty lame, especially considering that I didn't really start this blog until late April of that year.It works out to 8.5 entries per month in 2007, compared to 14.4 entries per month over the nine months this blog was active in 2006.Hopefully I'll be a little better about writing entries in 2008.
