Yay for Tom! Is it a gig he likes? I seem to recall a few interviews that were less than eh, but still a job. I'm hoping it's one he likes!!! CONGRATS!
{{{ Steph! }}} (of course virtually, since I seem to recall you don't like actual hugs, so it's brackets of support)
Knowing about prime numbers also helps you see why a package of brownie mix that says it makes 11 brownies is just silly.
clearly you do not know the concept of testing! You must test the brownies to make sure they are edible enough to share. As it is a test, the calories and fat do not count. Eating that one, leaves 11 brownies, just as the box advertised. Ta da!
ION, with yet another day of 10am-midnight, I managed to wake up in time to make a sandwich, go to Krispy Kreme's and make it to work 10 minutes early. Only to get to a 10 minute break and open the lunch pail to learn, I left the sandwich on the counter at home. D'oh!
In excellent news, Tom got an job offer! At the Other University in town. He also had a great interview today (at a different place)
Now you MUST go to the Alchemist's shindig!
ION, 30 minutes on the bike at the gym, and no endorphins. I fear they've abandoned me. But I have hummus and crackers, and then I might go back to bed.
Yay Tom!

The number of pieces that a recipe makes is an imaginary number anyway.
Truly excellent news for Tom and Nora! (My university will be closed this year between Dec 20 and Jan 4th - I lurv working for academia.)
I hope you and your doctor figure things out soon, Teppy.
It is warm and toasty and smells wonderful in my house because I made an apple cake and then soaked it with a vanilla concoction. I however, am supposed to pack up the cake and head out into the cold to go to dinner with my DH at an old school friend's of his. I don't think her house could possibly smell as good as mine does right now (and that's the only excuse I can come up with for not going).

Woot! That is awesome!!!
Sparky, that sounds like torture.
Teppy, I am so sorry. BOO missing endorphins. Though I am very impressed you actually managed to go try to make some. Damn!
I am annoyed that I'm managing to have a very busy-with-work day without managing ot have an actual PRODUCTIVE day. Harumph!

My university never does that. There's never anybody here, but they never do it officially. This year, we're getting Dec 26 and January 2 as admin days, which is nice.
It's official here, as part of the energy savings. At my previous university, we were made to take it as vacation time which didn't seem fair since we we being locked out. At my present u., it's just free time off.

yeah, that's some BS. They're lucky that they didn't get sued. I have a lot of use or lose leave, so it's never a big deal for me.
