I was called into my boss office and given a promotion. It took her weeks to let me know if I got the job but I'm happy. It pays more and I'll work on projects independently. I still want to move somewhere else by the end of the year. But for now, at least I have a better position.

I've been having a really bad week...so far. One of my co-workers was having a bad day (and I didn't know) and took a joke I made the wrong way. I apologized but she's still acting funny three days later. This is someone I've been able to talk and joke openly with. Now, she's basically ignoring me. I've tried to strike up a conversation with her and it was awkward. The funny thing is I thought she'll be more mature because she's 30 years older than me. My motto is live and learn so I've moving on and not looking back.

I'm supporting the strike against LiveJournal tomorrow for censoring the popular interest page and removing the (no-ads) basic account level for new journals. Secretly, I glad it's only one day because I didn't want to break down and cross the picket line. :-P

Want to protest against LJ censoring the interest pages and removing the Basic account level?
Join the strike! (And repost this to your own journal.)
Everything's explained at beckyzoole's LJ, but basically: on Friday, March 21st, we will not be posting or commenting for 24 hours.

This and this are also very worrying.

I'm still shocked by the death of Heath Ledger.  He was one of my favorite actors.  I loved him in Brokeback Mountain and A Knight's Tale which are two of my favorite movies.  When I watched him in interviews, he seemed so shy and thoughtful.  My thoughts go out to his family and friends.  He will always live on through his work and the people that knew him.

The Burning Times is a brilliant story  that parallel the atrocities of WWII.  The war with Voldemort is over and the wizarding world is re-building.  Some are pushing for stonger relationships with the muggle world but this brings on dire results.  This story centers around the relationship between Harry and Draco and it spans several years.  This is the author's, DracosDirtySecret, summary:

At the end of the War, wizarding governments worldwide have reconstructed themselves from the ground up. People from the wizarding world now find themselves co-existing with those from the Muggle world and vice versa. Draco Malfoy finds himself appointed an Ambassador by the new Minister of Magic, Albus Dumbledore, and Harry Potter is teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts. This is where life as they know it ceases to exist. When Draco is sent away to a far off land, he lands himself in a world of trouble and is sent to a Muggle prison. Stripped of his ability to perform magic, and denied any contact with the outside world, Draco finds himself unable to even contact the new husband he left behind. But Draco’s woes are nothing compared to those of his husband’s... M/M, Slash, A.U., Angst, Dark Fic, Character Death, MPreg, Drug Abuse, Rape, Torture, O.C.(s), & OOC just to give you fair warning.

I've totally neglected my journal.  With work and online classes, I've been too busy to update.  But I plan on putting more of an effort into updating my journal and posting comments in my friends page.  I also want to work a new layout for my journal and update my user info page.  On the little free time I have, I've been watching Hanakimi episodes uploaded by chochajin at her journal.  The manga is great and the TV show is so cute and funny.  Ikuta Toma plays Nakatsu Shuichi.  He's everything a fangirl wants.  There are eight episodes so far.
