my mother (Harvard degree) cut in with, "there are no schools 'like' Harvard!"
That reminds me of the T-shirts for sale at McGill with the Harvard logos and the slogan "McGill of the south."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My mother went to Harvard for grad school, and half the reason she went there was because it's local, so she definitely doesn't have the reverence that some do....

I pled to having a non-working speedometer once, but that was just to avoid the moving violation ding on a speedibng ticket. Never known it to actually happen though.

One of my college roommates had a Volvo with a non-working speedometer, but he never fixed it.
That was a car you could start with a screwdriver, though. Not, possibly, the best reference.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My non-working speedometer actually got me out of a ticket, because I got pulled over after it was fixed and still had the receipt in my car. I said "Officer, it must be broken again."

Our wings are not tired.
My Volvo's speedometer broke but we didn't fix it because it also caused the mileage to stop and that helped resale value.

If I wanted to find a list of Caribbean HIV-related NGOs, is there some sort of directory/resource I could use?
Sorry--I was too swamped at work today to come to b.org.
Anyway, I don't know of a directory for Caribbean HIV-related NGOs, but there's The AIDS Alliance. (My NGO has a very small subcontract with them.) Their focus is mostly in the Eastern Caribbean.
There's a WHO-related organization called CAREC, or the Caribbean Epidemiology Centre. It's for all communicable diseases, but it has an HIV/AIDS section.
Over at idealist.org they have a search by location area, but it lumps Latin America and Caribbean together, so you have to separate jobs in Panama from those in Trinidad.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wow, I can't believe I got good 401k news today... like mine rebounded about 1/3 of the ground it previously lost in this latest quarter. Did we have a big stock market recovery and no news outlets covered it?

Ooh, thanks, Calli! That idealist especially dovetails into the second half of the searches she's having me do.
