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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Rock on, Sophia. You deserve some peace.
You deserve some peace.
And a frakkin' medal. Let's not forget that.
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!
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.
I just assumed that the drop today on Wall Street was related to Obama's election. I happen to think they are wrong about Democrats being bad for the economy, but I know a lot of folks cling to that belief.
On the money show on NPR, they pointed out that the Street had weeks to anticipate an Obama win, and it looked likely, so any variation was probably its own psychosis. Of course, it was NPR, that bastard liberal source.
It's amazing the effect of a Democratic presidency. According to the wingnuts Clinton caused all the problems of Bush's first four years, and now Obama will be causing all the problems of Bush's last three months.
It's a wonder that Bush got anything done at all, really.
