Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well heck. No offer letter today either. If nothing comes in tomorrow, I'll have to figure out how to gently ask what is happening.

It's supposed to be email, right?

That was my understanding. When I spoke with HR and my future boss last Thursday they each said that the draft was in the work and I should see something Friday or early this week. So one would assume that means e-mail. No other way for me to get it that quickly.

For anyone curious about my relationship with patience, see my tag.

I hear ya on the patience.

I decided to celebrate my new cupcake carrier by making cupcakes. But the problem is, I decided to get FANCY. Cause I also had a new zester.

So I tried to make cupcakes that I would then fill with lime curd, and top with meringue.

The lime curd is liquid, and the meringue is a mess (I think I overbeat it). I made some of the meringue into cookies, and put them in the oven. I figure I can just pour the curd on, if it's not thicker, and cement the meringue cookie to the top of cupcake with some of the not-right meringue.

Or something.

Sadly, I'm taking these to someone's house to be dessert. Er...I perhaps should've planned better.

OTOH, it's almost 6pm, and I don't have to be there til 7. I suppose I could make chocolate cupcakes...though I'm not sure I have any more cupcake sleeve thingies.

There's a strong possibility you didn't hear anything today because it was MLK Day, and even if it wasn't a company-wide holiday, maybe the key person (or people) involved in getting the letter to you wasn't in today.

Or possibly it was sent snail mail b/c of the need for it to be hard copy, in which case there'd be no letter today due to the mail not running on the holiday.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Yay, Matt!!! That is so freaking exciting!!

Why did I wait until the last minute to grade these research papers? It's going fairly quickly, but I really want to go to bed, but I need them done in the morning and I know I won't get up early to grade them, so I have to do it now. Oh well. Off to grade some more!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Woot for Matt! Beth, I hope things work out well for him!

There's no such thing as imperfect cupcakes. The end result is still CAKE.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Congrats Matt!

The status is NOT quo.

Woot, Matt! Very happy for you!
