Happy Birthday Turdy!
Lovely Billboard Steph!
Hil- I think part of what they are trying to get across is that, although you should be dressed up, you don't want to look like you are interviewing to teach at a business school. Like, I might stay away from a black suit with pantyhose and heels and a shell and pearls and whatnot. Maybe a skirt and top in more earthy tones, with a coordinating, but not matching blazer? and clunkier shoes than you would wear in a business interview? Or a plainish, but high quality dress that you can wear with a blazer if you want? Maybe look at some of your female professors and think of what they would wear if they had to dress up?
d! gronk right back at you. We need to get our calendars talking to each other.
Happy Birthday Trudy! Teppy, you look mahvelous!
ok, yeah. gronk.
Maybe look at some of your female professors and think of what they would wear if they had to dress up?
Heh. There are three female professors in my department. One wears a black skirt or pants and jewel-tone top every day. The other two are generally jeans and sneakers people. (My sister is completely horrified that I wear jeans and sneakers for teaching. I responded that my clothes don't have holes or stains, which puts me above at least half the other grad students.)

Thanks. That helps a lot. (Clunkier shoes are a must for me anyway -- I tend to twist my ankles or knees if I wear even slightly wobbly shoes.)
Good morning, all. I had a reasonably good night's sleep (6.5 hours), and while feeling mild anxiety, I'm not dragging my feet too badly this morning. Thanks for all the good wishes.
Care to come and take on DD and 50 Intensive English 3 students?
::runs, hides, and cheers GG on from the corner::
Morning, Anne. I'm glad you got some good sleep, and continued good thoughts your way.
Hey, Sox. Schedule is crazy making for me lately. ima send you email re biz cards.
Happy birthday, Trudy!
I hope your day is a good one, Anne.
Fanfuckingtabulous billboard, Teppy!
I'm in a "I have way too much work to do and I have no idea where to start" place this morning. I guess I'll answer email, then turn it off for the rest of the morning so I can work on other things.
I got told yesterday morning that I have to complete a job that I've estimated at fifty week of work, by Christmas. Why haven't you already done it? Mr BigBoss Fuckhead asks. Because this is THE FIRST I'VE FUCKING HEARD OF IT YOU FUCKING FUCKHEADED FUCKWIT.
But my supervisor really has my back on this, which is really, really good, because I'm in a mood to tell BigBoss Fuckhead that the reason he doesn't know what's going on is because HE'S TOO FUCKING BUSY WHORING AROUND WITH SITE ASSISTANTS, SHOVELLING COKE UP HIS FAT HEAD, LEAVING HIS STAFF TO EXPLAIN TO HIS WIFE ON THE PHONE THAT HE'S IN A FUCKING 'MEETING'.
Oh, dear. Sanity-ma for you then, Jars?
