So freakin' spoiled.

[serene]

My webmail is down, and I have to post from the web instead of in email. I'm such a spoiled brat.

Love being here at UC Berkeley (which I always called "Berkeley" before I moved here, but now when I say "I went to Berkeley today," no one assumes I mean the school). The people are so nice, the job is cushy, and the money is good. Now I wish I could do this all the time, but it doesn't look to be imminent. I've told my service I'm available for a regular gig, but part of me wants to just do Ikea and free myself up for this thing. And on the gripping hand, I should look for a "real" job. I dunno. I guess I'll just let myself off the hook about it this week, what with working 50 hours and all.

If you want a shorthand for the school without saying Berkeley, try "Cal." :^) And yeah, working there can get AWFULLY comfortable. I went for a few years and didn't leave for almost 15.

Calling it Cal sounds so affected to me. Not sure why. Maybe because none of the staff or students around here calls it that.

Huh. Interesting. Well, I know most of the students don't call it that ( except on their t-shirts ;^), but many of the staff I worked for did. I wonder if it's an "old-guard" thing or something?
