Did I miss something? Did the Doakster pop the question? Did she actually say "yes"?

Yeah it's official. Mrs Doak, coming in late 2013/ early 2014 (though, Technically it will be Dr Maiden name Doak since she's already published under her maiden name)

Some of my sobriety comes from my introversion as well. The activities that tend to go with drinking, while fun for other people, aren't really all that appealing to me. I think the majority of my drinking has come at Sabres games.
The last time I was actually impaired drunk was game 5 vs. Boston. I'm torn as to what to do should the Bills or the Sabres ever win anything of import.
Celebrate Labatt Blue style vs. Remembering Every Second of the Moment Forever?
Just got some less than pleasant news from work. I'm being assigned as the SME for a HUGE project at work. Yay for recognition. But boo for increased work hours. I'm perfectly content working 40 hours a week.

Take a little picture in a photobooth
Keep it in a locket and I think of you
Both of our pictures, face to face
Take off your necklace and throw it away
I think I'm in love
But it makes me kinda nervous to say so
Beck, Think I'm in Love

1) Me too.
2) 40 hrs/wk. ***Sigh***
A. Haven't done 40hrs/wk since I hired in a couple decades ago.
B. Really like the system Chain described where Company periodically forces a week or 2 both off site & off the grid. (Although we know he doesn't like his current employement situation, you must admit that's a sweet scenario.)
C. Told the boss I was taking "vacation" next Tuesday & Wednesday so I can get some overdue stuff from work done. Doesn't / Can't get done with all the interruptions & lack of "block" time.
D. Told the boss I still have 10 days of 2012 vacation remaining, in addition to the 2 days I'm taking at Christmas. I've received unofficial permission (strictly, it's against policy, but it's done on exception basis with a handful of people each year) to roll over a week til next year. I have a sense I'll be using that to fix up a new-to-me larger house.
edit: Congrats, Doak. Maybe a honeymoon in a temperature with some modest day-trip biking involved? Guy who works for me did 2 weeks vacation in France in Sept with his wife and his parents. Ahh, vacation...

I recently received invitations for training and meetings in January.... in the UK. I'm trying to hang on until then. I haven't had the opportunity to go anywhere for work in 8 years. This is a bit of a reward. And of course I'd be the national/regional SME for the training so maybe things shift for my work situation. If I can make it....
