That's fantastic, Sophia! And good for you for making it happen.
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.

Our wings are not tired.
Historically, the markets fall after an election.
Sophia, that is great news.

Thanks so much guys! It is hard to remember in the middle of working with challenging people that those people sometimes inadvertently improve you-- my crazy boss at the Children's Theatre just out of school taught me that it wasn't just enough to do your job, people had to like you. My crazy boss at my last job gave me the opportunity to meet, work with and make a good impression on people all over the university, especially compared with her crazy impression. And losing my good direct Boss and having to work with crazy!big boss gave me some real confidence in making good and right decision on my own, because I so did not want big!boss to enter the arena and make things worse. nfortunately, my good direct boss could tell me 100 times that my decisions were good and I did not need to run them by her, but it took having no one to run them by to realize that I can make the right decision.

Rock on, Sophia. You deserve some peace.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
You deserve some peace.
And a frakkin' medal. Let's not forget that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And a raise!

I has a medal already, from the first F2F!
We also got a letter from the university president that there is a moratorium on raises and job re classifications because of the economy!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
This is just too cool. What science headline could top "Black holes cure cancer"? Well, nothing, really. But "Nanotechnology cures cancer" comes pretty close. [link]

My brother is in cancer research!
Every so often, I have to say, out loud "President Barack Hussein Obama." Or just "President Obama." And then I grin like an idiot and start to tear up. I want to shout it out my window when driving.
It's kinda cool.
