It's Monday isn't it? It certainly FEELS like a Monday. Must be why I need toothpicks to keep my eyelids open. Gronk!

Oh well, at last it's nice out.

10 minutes in enough time for me to wait for people to fucking show up for a conference call before I hang it up, right?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

deep dish is tourist pizza.

No.

Chicago style deep dish is not like other pizzas that claim to be deep dish. Chicago style deep dish is a pie. It's not something you can fold and eat while walking down the street. It's something you eat with friends while having a beer and conversation (during the 45+ minutes you wait after ordering). It is a meal, not something that sits congealing under a heat lamp waiting for someone to order a slice. Chicago style deep dish is one of the factors in surviving a Chicago winter.

I was wondering when a Chicagoan would weigh in on what "real" Chicago pizza is. I was starting to feel like a big dupe, like Chicago fooled me into thinking that deep-dish was "their" pizza, when it's really what they throw to the tourists.

And now I want Uno's for lunch, dang it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

SUCH a Monday.

Crappy commute. Not early enough to go buy coffee. Came into my department to see/hear two managers going at each other. Boss intercommed at 9:30 and wants me to take minutes for a 10am mtg I didn't even know about. and now my eye is itching and twitchy.

Kat, you're so skinny!

Not really. Optical illusion. I still have at a minimum 10 more pounds to lose.

Jessica, I'm not sure if there is a resource that has that. Probably your gut instinct works just as well as any list I might be able to find you. I would think there might be some places of overlap (for example, stuff on the environment can be both science and social studies).

How important is it for you to have the categories be solid?

How important is it for you to have the categories be solid?

Unfortunately the system we're using to present the modules online doesn't allow tagging, so each modules can only have one label per category.

My boss was able to find a list of subjects used by educational publishers, which is what we're going with for now unless we find something better.
