Our bedroom window looks out on the neighbor house driveway. Mr. Neighbor starts his car three minutes before my alarm goes off. Damn, the man is punctual.
Still, it's better than the previous neighbors, who, without fail, every day, drove off somewhere roughtly every five hours. 2 AM being one of those times and 6:30 ish AM being another. They were never gone long. Also, one day their car was a different color and they were both both blondes. As they left one evening, I looked up from my book and asked Hubby, "Should we tell the cops they're runners?" "We don't have proof. Besides, they're stupid, they'll get arrested sooner or later."
Not that stupid, they beat the cops by half a day, disappearing in the middle of the night. Hubby chatted with the cops the next day. People look at us funny in our neighborhood, but no cops have ever had to come to our house. The nice, sweet, polite, young couples, though ...
P-C, they're not necessarily lying to you - it's very easy to convince yourself you've found the wave of the future or whatever and genuinely want to bring other people into it. Doesn't mean it's a good idea, though. I'd be very, very wary of this.
Joining enthusiastically in the Hil-congratulations. That's a splendid grade there, Hil. I look forward to hearing your further adventures in grad school.
(Yes, women who know more about mathematics than I do still make me swoony. I just don't want to creep out poor Hil, who's never been anything but nice to me.)
Congrats to Hil and Erin!
Tons and tons and even more tons of job~ma for Karl!!!
Sending Karl's perfect job~ma out to the ether!
Sunil! Congratulations on the article. Even I could understand it.
Now, listen to me and stay far, far away from the pyramid scheme. Enthusiasm does not put food in your belly or pay your rent.
connie! I'm going to be in SLC in May--the 18th through the 21st I believe. (The info is at work and hasn't been entered into my iPaq yet.)
Edited to send insane amounts of perfect job~ma Karl's way.
Oodles and Oodles of job-ma to you. Karl.
I totally skipped...215 messages, I think. I may try to go back and catch up tomorrow, but I'm not making any promises.
What a day! My first flight went dandy. We even got in to LGA early enough that I thought I might make the 6pm flight to Boston. Unfortunately, it was totally full, so I couldn't. That was ok. I could wait for the 7pm. Only the 7pm quickly turned into 7:45pm...8:15pm...8:35pm...8:54pm... 9:30pm...10:05pm. We finally landed in Boston around 11pm. I'm exhausted...and FURIOUS with the gate agents for American Airlines. But, that's another story for another day.
I'm home. The best roommate in the world has fixed me some tea. And, I must get to bed soon since classes start tomorrow. I'm supposed to take an exam tomorrow too, but we'll see if I'm up to that in the morning.
wow - that job really sounds like you Karl! job ma~~~~ in spades to you.
