I'm thinking some effort is made to not get the haemorrhoid cream into the actual eye, though.

Nilly!

Look at you people, chatting while I was working the recumbent bike or whining internally that the country potatoes weren't offered this morning.

This outrages me WAY more than hu-ha.

Considering I have Friday off, I second this request.

So do I. I requested the following Monday off, too, but can only take it off if things aren't too busy.

If today and yesterday were any indication, I'm working Monday.

Thanks, y'all! We like the little dude, especially when he’s making silly faces.

I'm traveling your way soon.

Excellent! Please do give us a call & swing by. That’s my birthday, y’know.

Oh, he's adorable! In the second picture he looks like he's completely dancing, lacking only the knowing-how-to-stand-on-his-legs part. And the face on that last one? I laughed out loud. Does he let you both sleep enough?

He’s a little dancing critter. He has good strength in his legs already and can stand (unsteadily, sure) when I hold his hands. And yeah, he lets us sleep usually, but last night wanted to have a little party at 1 am. Convincing him to wait until morning was not easy at all. Apparently, he's still asleep, too. I suppose I should be proud that my son got my love of rocking & rolling all night and sleeping late every day.

It's funny, I got to TA a class in Special Relativity this semester, and everybody knows E=MC² so well, it took me lots of efforts to convince the students that what it actually means and why it's so important.

See, that sounds fun. Changing perceptions, overturning preconceived notions. What's not to love?

I love the class. It's hard work for me, all these long texts with their long words and no equation in between, but it's totally worth it. We read a lot of Latour lately, and while he's very "French", as the professor of the class defined it, a lot of it was really interesting.

Fantastic! I’ve never read any Latour, but everything about that class sounds just wonderful.

tom, you know this caricature, right?

ita! It's been forever since I posted with you! I don't even know if you passed your last krav test, only that you had one. Oh, and I sent you an e-mail earlier this week - did you get it?

tom, you know this caricature, right?

Heh.

Look at you people, chatting while I was working the recumbent bike or whining internally that the country potatoes weren't offered this morning.

I was wondering where you were.

I need to go to work soon.
(That was unrelated to the previous sentence.)

Hee
(Totally related)

I was wondering where you were.

Sweating, sweating, sweating.

Ain't it always the way?

This outrages me WAY more than hu-ha.

That's just bizarre. And lame.

I just cheerfully yelled at someone and by the time I hung up, had them agreeing with me.

However, it appears no one has any idea when my a/c will be fixed. They just fired one a/c guy and there are 3 units ahead of mine (I presume medically necessary, but who knows with these people.) headdesk

I swear, even when you have to give a customer bad news or say you don't know, it is much much better if you promptly do it. Utter and complete silence can mean a variety of things, including that they have been forgotten. And that's one thing they are going to hate and is going to make them the most pissed off. It isn't hard to return phone calls.

Also, if they even have the NERVE to bitch about not being able to get into my apartment, I'm ripping them a new one. 1) They have a key to the deadbolt. If they don't, they need to give me a new lock because they lost it. 2) If they'd let me know when they might possibly be there, I can make arrangements. Dead silence does not help.

off to peruse real estate.

I suppose I should be proud that my son got my love of rocking & rolling all night and sleeping late every day.

The first thing I thought when I saw that dancing-in-his-chair picture was that he definitely seems like he has a thing for music, like his dad. I guess it's a little harder to think that on 1am, though.

Changing perceptions, overturning preconceived notions. What's not to love?

I am totally there with you. One of the classes I loved best in my BA was the Thermodynamics andd Statistical Mechanics class, because it did just that - I could nealry feel the wheels in my brain shaking themselves and moaning as they tried to go to different directions than they were used to. That was awesome.

everything about that class sounds just wonderful

We're reading The Mangle of Practice by Pickering now, and it's absolutely fascinating. I also loved Leviathan and the Air-Pump, by Shapin & Schaffer. It's doing the exact same thing that you mentioned - changing the ways of thinking. The taken-for-granted things suddenly aren't.
