Yay for being done with the proposal, Nilly! I definitely feel your pain -- I just came across some pictures people took of me at an old job, putting the final label on the final envelope of a set of government proposals that barely fit into one paper box. Luckily, we had a dolly to roll it on, and actually, someone else ran it to the government office, but I spent a full day just running the copier for that badboy. Ugh!

Thanks, Corwood! I'm an HBO-by-Netflix watcher, so realtime threads are verboten for me.

Found an OC version that's not malware. They made an Oldboy ref in the teaser! That's all sorts of geeky.

It seems so wrong for you to be having to teach on a Sunday, but then you live in TopsyTurvyLand where Sunday is Very Really Monday

It took me forever to realize that all the "I hate Monday" songs refer to what is known here as "Sunday Bummer-ness" (um, that's a bad translation to a slang word, of course, coming from the military, as so many of the Israeli slang words do).

And it seemed definitely wrong when I had to TA on Fridays (we're not as strict about our Fridays as a weekend day, because we're quite extremely strict about Saturdays).

In the I-need-to-do-it-myself-ot-it-won't-get-done-properly spirit, the person who ran the coppier for the proposal did indeed make a mistake. Luckily, it was the easy-to-fix kind of mistake, of photocopying several pages twice (and messing up the order), not the run-to-photocopy-again and risk-being-late kind, so that was not that much of a problem.

When I showed my PhD supervisor the whole thing and he said "so now you're taking it to the Bureaucracy place?" I had to sheepishly admit that my arms are not large enough to carry all the copies, and another student went along with me. I could lift the weight, that was not the problem. But every bag we put the copies in got torn, and I couldn't just wrap my arm around them because, well, not enough arm length.

I need to switch my mind off work before I go out on a blind date tonight. I have about 15 minutes before I have to leave. What should I do? [Edit: Ha! The question answered itself. The time it took me to type this, while not 15 minutes, shortened the time left for anything else, so there you go.]

Hi, Nilly!

Oh, have a good date, Nilly!

The fact that I just scheduled my TiVo online to record that (the TiVo in the next room, on whom I'm going to resume watching Psych just as soon as I take another Imitrex)

I just want to quote this to note I still love Psych! How great is that show!

Today, I spent 5 and a half hours at the hair salon. It was very annoying, but now I have pretty pretty hair.

I want to know more. What takes that long anymore? Multiple dye jobs or perm or straightening or what?

Enjoy your date, Nilly!

Lee, do you have pictures of your pretty pretty hair? Because we want to see.

And Hec - where are the pictures of that freaky cat-thing?

Good luck, Nilly!

I want to know more. What takes that long anymore? Multiple dye jobs or perm or straightening or what?

Yeah. Somehow I doubt this is what Lee had going on, but I'm pretty sure it did take that long for my friend to go from long colored brown hair (highlights and lowlights and whatnot) to long blonde hair.

SO LAZY.

And Hec - where are the pictures of that freaky cat-thing?

I'll try to take one today.

I still love Psych! How great is that show!

It's good fun. Someone on another board said they didn't want to watch it because he's an asshole, but he's not really. He can sure be an ass, though.
