I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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.

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!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Congratulations to Matt and Daisy Jane!!

The cupcakes were pronounced to be very very edible, even with the bizarreness.

Because the meringue didn't work out, I made meringue cookies, and kinda glued those to the top of the cupcakes with the not-working-meringue. A little random, but pretty. I'm bringing the rest to work tomorrow.

Dinner was delicious, beans and cornbread and fried potatoes and kale. Mmmm.

Conversation was rather less salacious than I might've liked, but when you're with someone's 18 year old daughter and her baby, it sorta makes the mood more "aww, look how cute the baby is" and less "let's flirt like mad while talking about sex!"
