Many hugs to Trudy.
I already said this elsewhere, but Olivia is such a cutie. We went to a party last night where there were two babies - 2 and 3 months old. They were both boys, but they were still tiny. I had forgotten how small a new baby is.
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Why do I wait and decide things at the last minute? I decided to apply for this scholarship to Oxford. The submissions are due next Monday. I've e-mailed three professors, asking for letters of recommendations. I've only heard back from one. And the other two would be the stronger recommendations. So, I'm a little frustrated. One of the profs is on sabatical this semester and is only checking his e-mail every couple of weeks. The other usually gets back right away, so I'm surprised. Maybe something is up with his family or something.
So, I've e-mailed a backup professor, but I don't know who else to get to write a third recommendation. I could ask my former boss, but I'm not sure that's the strongest... I'm stuck.

What is even happening?

Hee! That would be the same woman collecting the submissions.

vw, when I was waiting for my academic references, I had to call and visit one of them about six times. Eventually the secretary where I was applying just phoned him for a verbal reference. Lesson: the secretary where you're applying has to deal with academics and their whimsical approach to paperwork too.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Actually, I'll go further than that: IME, a good department secretary is the only person on earth who can manage a certain breed of academic, and is thus a certifiable genius.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
(((Trudy))), I'm so very sorry.
