My boss is currently on a long flight to Tokyo, and then Seoul, and then HK, and then back to Tokyo. Work stuff. Heaven. Two weeks of pure work bliss. Not because I hate my boss, but because the micromanaging and increasing OCD kinda started to get on my nerves. He cleaned his office to shining spotlessness before he left, and it's the most organized I've ever seen it. This is so like my mom. My mom will clean the entire house before leaving for any sort of trip or vacation. She will not only do the 'regular' clean, like washing the floors and vacuuming, but will break out all sort of random projects like sorting out the storage boxes in the garage or going through her closet. I love her.
The thing is, my boss (I'm kinda sick of calling him the boss so let's just call my boss Mr. M) probably forgot something. If this were me leaving, my office would be in a state of disaster, but I would walk out with everything I need.

Switching gears, today is the last day to glaze in ceramics. I'm not terribly excited to be near the finish line for the term, because glazing ruins about a third of my pots. We did a wood fire over the weekend, and despite our best efforts we didn't get up to temperature by a few hundred degrees. So, results overall were not stunning. What was even less stunning is that two of my pots were damaged during unloading, and no apology note was left. I'm betting on a bitchy woman or a stoned dude.

If any pots come out pretty, there are going to be pictures. If not, I'll pretend I can't upload them or something.
