My predecessor in this job (who is now retired) just forwarded me an email from a professor.

The professor was replying to an email my predecessor sent in 2002 offering training on a certain database. The whole thing says, "I see the date on this and I don't know how I missed it but yes I'd like training."

Kitty ~ma, erika!

Is the database still functional?? Seems like something I was trained on in 2002 may or may not even EXIST anymore, given computers...

Does that discount extend to Buffistas???

Honestly, I have no idea; He just started today. Although, even with the discount, I bet it'd still be cheaper for you to buy stuff in the States than it would be over here, where everything is more expensive and the euro is crazy strong against the dollar.

I think it would be quite an imposition for invisible friends from the Internet to take advantage of Jars' DH's discount. IMO.

I skippity skipped again so ~ma to alls who needs it & go home Rocky!

Rocky, go home right now. I mean it.

Hey vw! I need advice from a quilter! (Or really, anyone who has a better grasp of measurements than me, which is probably most of you.)

The info for this fabric [link] says that the stripe repeat is about 1/2". I ... can't figure out what that means. Does it mean that there are two stripes per inch? Or are the stripes smaller?

I think I just accepted a freelance gig that I knew last week I didn't want to do. A pox on cold medicine.

pretty fabric Jilli - I think there are more, smaller stripes.

Jilli, I believe that it means that there's one pink stripe and one black stripe per 1/2". I think.

job~ma requested for DH. A position he interviewed for last week just asked him for references, so definitely a good sign, but he's a bit discombobulated because his go-to rave reference of a former boss is out of the country and currently unavailable. He's asking someone he recently freelanced for to step in.

He really needs a new job--he's *so* not happy where he is right now. And this one would be good because it's still in the university system, so we wouldn't have to fuss with insurance and retirement and so on changing.

vw, they should totally have told you that there was a limit to how many tutorials you could take. Eejits.

Well, yes. And, now it turns out that we can actually be paid for up to 40 hours a week, so she freaked me out unnecessarily. I mean, I do still need to do something about the crazy number of appointments, because it is too much. But, now I can do it on my own terms.

Much kitty~ma for erika! So scary!

Um…wha? People really are stupid.

Actually, I think it means that both stripes together are a 1/2". They look pretty skinny, but quite lovely! (and equilter is a fabulous company to order from. They are pretty much my only online fabric store).

Much job~ma for Susan’s DH!

So, I had a very good day. Which is weird, because nothing really huge happened, but it was a really good day.
