some people have asked me why I'd leave a top-ten university for a not-even-close-to-top-ten university!
Lemme at 'em. Nobody maligns my school. Status isn't everything. Some of us would rather not graduate with knives in our backs.
Edit: Lilo~ma for Aimée.
At my new university, they give bonuses. I've never heard of a university doing that. Also, I tried to call there today and was told that the U President had decided to shut down a day early, so everyone got extra time off. And some people have asked me why I'd leave a top-ten university for a not-even-close-to-top-ten university!
Dude, can I leave a top-ten university for there too?

Which school are you going to be working at, Sparky? (Preceding conversation could describe either of two schools, I think.) (If you don't want to say on the board, no problem.)

Sure you can. And you get the DCistas, too. "DCistas r n ur states, stealing ur localistas."
Ugh. I meant to call JZ and tell her that because it's rainy and dark and people will be leaving early before holidays she absolutely needed to leave the house no later than 3pm when going to collect Emmett or she would get crushed in the traffic.
But I forgot to warn her. Now she's been stuck in traffic (with the baby) for an hour and she's still not even on the bridge.
Poor JZ!
YAY, brenda!
Um...there was more, but alas, I did not take notes.
I'm in Kansas! Go Kansas!
Just wanted to drop in and say hi. I've been so absent with the new job, sick baby, and everything else.
But I have a new Black iBook and it's really cool and I decided to test it out over here.
bug, you are in Kansas? What for?
Stephanie, I hope everyone is feeling better. Those pictures of Ellie coming home were PRICELESS!

Crappity. I hope Matilda sleeps through. I've been stuck in traffic with screaming babies and it sucks ass.
I got our grocery shopping and the last of the Christmas shopping finished this afternoon. DH is wrapping as I type. I'm watching Hidalgo but I should be packing or cleaning or folding laundry.
Oh, and I'd like to add that Ailleann ROCKS like a rocking thing. We got a card with a Graeter's gift card in it! The kids and I may go for ice cream for our snack tomorrow before we leave for Indiana.

Wait, I didn't think I had skimmed, but I missed these. Anyone care to link? I never like to let a chance to pass to observe the cute-i-tude of the buffista kids.
