OMG, Sophia. That is mind-boggling in its stupidity. It caused me actual physical pain to read that paragraph; I can only imagine what it's like for you to live it. You so deserve better
See the theatre was all fun and games until I left my job with my horrible boss, which was right next to the theatre. Now everyone (except the AA) is acting like morons.
I just sent a followup email saying that I feel our communications difficulties are caused by this transportation problem, and could we either move the meetings until after 4 pm, so I could leave work early and be able to park on campus or explore a mode of transportation to get me to the theatre. I explain that I was lucky to have such an understanding boss who would let an hourly employee take an extra half hour for lunch, but that an extra hour, 2 times a week would be really pushing it.
So no one could say "If you had said something...."
They haven't changed the times on the clocks on the walls here. I think they are trying to trick us. Still, it feels weird to leave for lunch despite the time the computer tells me.
Happy Tom Scola Day!
My head keeps trying to make a Beastie Boys song celebrating the wonder that is Tom Scola happen, so the brain just keeps chanting, "Tom Scola! Tom Scola Scola!" to the tune of Brass Monkey.
so the brain just keeps chanting, "Tom Scola! Tom Scola Scola!"
If you look in the mirror while you say that, Scola will appear.

Although you might want to check first to make sure he's not in an important meeting or something....
Happy Birthday, Tom!!!

I've now been reading about all the C-130 crashes in 1992. I need to stop because its just upsetting me needlessly.
Here's today's mathy trivia: On Wednesday, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning, the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.
or if you are in the UK, that happens on May 4th!
Just heard back from the guy at the apartment-hunting service who showed me a few places on Friday and was going to show me a few more tonight. Found out that the "few more" for tonight would have only been one, and it was a garden level, which I'm not interested in, so no apartment-looking tonight.
Tomorrow night, there's an open house at the apartment I looked at on Friday that I liked (well, actually I looked at another 1BR in the same building, since the one that opens up on 5/1 was still occupado), so we're meeting there and I can get some queries I have about the place answered. It's about $25/mo more than I would have liked, but it's on the first floor up the stairs, is plenty big enough for most of my stuff, has a nice big new kitchen, and has a washer and dryer at the bottom of the back stairs (no more having to walk down the alleyway to get my clothes clean). Also, if I come into some extra cash, there is reserved parking available behind the building for $95/mo (but in the meantime, street parking is easily found for a city parking sticker of $60/year). There's not many other units available in Evanston for a 5/1 start lease, so I might not do too much more apartment hunting.
