It's unbearable hot in my office. Somewhere in the middle of the country, someone's office is absolutely perfect.
That would be me. It's 65° and sunny here with a light breeze, and my office windows are up.
One of you is gonna fall and die, and I'm not cleaning it up!

We'll make fun of Kevin Sorbo or something.
Mocking Kevin Sorbo never gets old.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMGWTF. I have to call the passport agency on TUESDAY to find out the status of my passport. I'm leaving on SATURDAY. (Not tomorrow.) Everyone assures me that the people who have it are "very good" and are "prioritizing by departure date," but I'm slightly suspicious since I sent the damn application in six weeks ahead and they say applications are generally processed within six weeks.

You'll probably be ok. But I know your anxiety. Back in 1995, I sent my passport in for renewal FOUR MONTHS before I was scheduled to leave, so I wouldn't have to try to renew it at the embassy when it expired while I was abroad. Plenty of lead time.
And then Congress had one of its episodes and shut down the federal government. Cue panic.
I got it a week before my plane left.
I'm still personally pissed at Newt Gingrich for that.
So you'll be fine.

I just heard a hilarious story last night from a friend who was mugged just after moving to a new city, so lost every piece of ID she had, along with the cash she was going to open a new bank account with. Her mother sent her old passport from when she was NINE and she actually used that as picture ID! Along with the whole sob story, of course.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Anyone else watching NASA TV? The Mars orbiter is just about to fire its engines to enter orbit.

Also, I'm glad I'm not from a former soviet state and waiting on a visa, like three of my classmates (two Moldovans and one Azerbaijani).

It also takes a long time to get a visa from Freedonia....
