I just reminded myself of on The Wire, when a young dealer teaches the other other guys chess by using terms from the street they know already...like a bishop is like the stash because it moves all the time, pawns are like soldiers cause they just gotta "stand there and die."
"Unless they some smart-ass pawns," one guy says.
I think I got the math equivalent.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

I may have to start watching tThe Wire, just on the strength of street guys playing chess.

I am drinking Bad Office Coffee (tm). I decided against calling in "sick" today.

I was taught "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally."
AAAAHHHHHH!!!! (GRE prep flashback.)
Speaking of the GREs, I got my official scores back, with the written part graded. I got 5.0 out of 6, graded in half steps. Is it dumb to be vaguely disappointed with a basically good grade?
Also, timelies.

Polter, I think you're still jetlagged.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
So, at a meeting this morning I volunteered to help with a huge floorset in either Massachusetts or New Hampshire. After I did, I thought "Why did I do that?". I am going to blame it on lack of caffiene. But at least it gets me out of my store. And they will get me a hotel, and pay me way more for mileage than I will use, so I can put the extra in my "Save for F2F" bucket.
ETA: Woohoo! P-C's drugging me!!

I've been doing it my whole life. Except in the last few years when I lowered my expectations because I started sucking.
