I feel bad that the cable guy is having to work around my book boxes to get to one of the cable jacks. I didn't think he would need to get to the one I won't be using.
Mal: How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne? Jayne: Money wasn't good enough. Mal: What happens when it is? Jayne: Well... that'll be an interesting day.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[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.

sj, I'm sure they've worked with worse. Quit worrying!
I finally called Verizon about my no Internet issue. Now I don't have to steal from the neighbors anymore!

Timelies, all. I skipped about 300 messages, so ~ma to anyone who needs it.
I had jury duty yesterday, which was possibly one of the most boring experiences of my life. Then my dad and I went to a Yankees game, which was a lot of fun. (We had nosebleed seats, but right behind home plate, so a perfect view of the whole field.)
I'm going back to DC today. Starting teaching tomorrow. Not quite ready for vacation to be over.

Blarg - jury duty. Are you off now Hil?
I just found out that our admin assistant has to appear for jury duty today. This is the assistant who is covering for our usual admin who just went off on maternity leave. So, if she gets selected - guess who is the only other person trained to finish our monthly report. Yeah, me. And L is off this week due to her latest chemo.

Yep. I begged off with "I've got to start teaching on Thursday, and it's a graduate level course and there's no one else who can cover for me." Which is all true. (The judge asked if I had anything to show him that I wasn't making it up. I didn't, but he excused me anyway.)

I'm hoping our admin can do similar - "I'm covering for someone who is off on maternity and no one else is trained to fully cover my work".
I am kinda of upset that she only told me about this yesterday. I would have liked the opportunity to come up with an alternate plan without it being a rush job.

Books, DVDs, sex, liquor, rock and roll and us?.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ooof. Little League is done. Twins beat us 6-3 so the Mets are finished with the forced death match of playing through the losers bracket.
Emmett pitched well, though his friend Arlo took him deep. That's about all he gave up, though, and he went four innings.
So relieved. It was fun, but Emmett's got a tournament at Concord that goes from Sunday through Wednesday, followed by a tournament in Burlingame immediately after and then he's got all-star stuff all through July. So, his baseball is far from done.
Where's that littlest Alter? I know Jess had to go home for lack of bed space but I am ready to meet her kinder.
