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.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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.
