It seems that TCG and I taking dinner over to a sick relative on Saturday has turned into us having three people over for dinner here on Saturday. How do these things happen?
Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[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.
Laura, about half an hour ago I got a "so far, so good" text from ND. Whee! Hopefully more details to follow...but he was seriously booked solid from 7:30 this morning until 10PM tonight.
Yay! I hope it works out for him.
How do these things happen?
Because your warm and generous and people love to spend time with you and TCG?
Laura, your DH story made me laugh.
Man. I have had a headache all day today. Nothing makes it go away.
I just wanna go the fuck home.
Yay! Thanks for the update Kristin.
So, I just got a recommendation from a student with two different fonts and sizes. The rec is on photocopied letterhead (the student helpfully sent another seemingly legitimate rec, on letterhead with a color logo). The odd thing is that both sections refer to the student by name, so it's possible that it was the professor's screwup.
Can you contact the prof, Vortex? Because that's the sort of weird thing where it COULD be the professor is a bit flaky, or it could be a very badbad student. I feel like if you get/give a reference, it's not out of the question to be called and asked for more ("when you say that John is "TEH BEST STUDNET EVAH!", can you tell me more about your feelings?")
Oh, yeah, I've already called. Of course, it was 5PM, so there was no way in hell he was there.
That's odd, Vortex.
I'm making gumbo z'herbes. My apartment smells all yummy.
I think I'm also going to make corn pone muffins and baked sweet potato fries. Should make a nice balanced meal, with enough leftovers for a few days.
Vortex, it's possible that the professor doing the rec decided for whatever reason to type and print the whole thing him/herself and just got it completely frelled up, because that's what they do with nominally simple administrative tasks all too frequently.
Not that I'm, uh, speaking from experience as assistant to a university professor or anything. Heaven forbid!
A hugely fabulous happy birthday to Laura, who deserves about a billion of them!
