Don’t you just hate weblog entries that say things like “light blogging ahead” and “sorry it’s been so long since the last post?” How self-important. It’s not like Good Grief! is the New York friggin’ Times. It’s not even the Art Museum Area News.

Even worse is metablogging. Nothing more annoying than a metablogging blogger.

Yes, well. The countdown is on:

  • Birthday festivities: 5 days
  • House settlement: 1 week
  • Time left to wrap up business at soulless office park: 1 week
  • Hot movers arrive: 10 days
  • Trip to Maine: 2 weeks
  • Begin new job: 3 weeks

Oh, and one more important item. Next week, boss-across-the-hall bites the dust. I’ve never killed off a character before, but boss’s demise was inevitable considering his penchant for dangerous electrical situations and suspicious diets.

After that, Good Grief! headquarters will be relocated to Fishtown, and I will be a homeowner, not to mention a coworker of Philadelphia’s so-called most influential blogger. See how the name dropping has already started?

    Hey! I commented before I read the whole post. ‘So-called’?

    Not the best way to start off with your co-workers….

    Scott, thanks for the early birthday wishes! You jumped in with a comment before reading the whole post? I hope my other future co-workers are more thorough than that!

    Clair, you know damn well whose birthday it is. I assume that Becky’s Birthday Bitter is kegged and ready to go!

    Yoko, thanks. It kills me to leave Fairmount, but I’m psyched about the move–can’t wait to have people over to the new place.
