Well, she does occasionally remember to say Please. Still usually needs promting. Last night, she became enchanted with the concept of bad/not bad after Paul tried explaining the cats. We still don't think she really gets it, but she was listing many things that were Not Bad for several minutes.
spits water all over keyboard.
Yes. Bad/Not Bad as applied to cats - where does one even begin?
PS, Jilli, she has, in fact, sung Kenya in her effing sleep.
Fan

tic!
After you introduced me to the ubercatchiness of the Kenya song, I introduced my formerlynonficreadingfriend to said song.
She then went on to win a competition which gave her an all-expenses-paid trip to Kenya!
....where she had a mad hot fling with a bloke called Linus, who was their driver (and who tracks lions for a living).
Thus in the world of me the lyrics now go "If you want to see Linus....Come to Kenya! Come to Kenya, we've got Linus!..." etc.
I love reading here in the morning, catching up. It's always a guaranteed laugh, and I love it. Just needs to be said every once in a while.
I hope ND's ok and sleeping soundly now.
Jilli was looking for a children's book? I saw this Halloween (last year? year before?) and meant to point it out.
Also, Jilli, you were complaining about your machine being possessed - maybe you need to get the Winchesters in to exorcise it. Got the cages in the basement prepared?
My dog ate my cell phone. Seriously.
Oh, dear, DJ! Is he/she ok?
Oh, Daisy. How did that happen? Is the dog okay?
Sean, I hope you and S feel better.
beth, I hope things get better for Matt, and that this is just the adjustment period, but if not, I'm glad he left with the other place begging him not to go.
Announcement: my upper arms are useless to the point of looking like teeny dinosaur arms.
Analysis: My biceps are weak as kittens. And are whiny little bitches!
glares are biceps
I did weight training last night. Last week was triceps, those were OK, but I can't even do curls with 8 lb. weights. So sad.
my dinosaur arms can still type:
DJ- I hope your dog is OK! Eek!
NoiseDesign: speaking as someone in academia (though, not in the faculty zone) it sucks, but decision making here is SO. GODDAMN. SLOW. It literally took them 6 months to decide to hire me, and I'm just a friggin secretary. Faculty positions will need to be vetted with various groups and discussed and whatnot and it's around spring break time, and.. uh.
This is probably not what you want to read, because it sucks, but I did want to mention it because what you don't want to do is think that silence=rejection. Silence really only means that the committee method is working as quickly as it can, which is really, REALLY slow.
~ma to beth's Matt.
Oz is fine. The phone is...not. The part where the charger goes is mangled, the screen is unreadable. I'm missing some buttons and the flippy part is barely hanging on.
