I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Good luck with your defense, Hil!

Hil, don't forget most unis can provide temp housing for new profs and some kind of moving advice -- when I worked for KU, I lived for the first week in temp housing while waiting for my apartment to be ready. Ask them what resources they have to help new profs.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Is it a law that the phone always has to ring as soon as the toddler falls asleep? Luckily he is way too tired to wake up. He had a minor surgery the other day and he is all sorts of cranky.

Yes. It's a subsection in the same regulations that govern how long you have to hold it if you need to pee and are expecting the Fed Ex guy.

Now tagless for your comfort.

sj, it's also a law that someone will ring the doorbell or a dog will start barking as soon as an infant falls asleep. Universal truths.

Is totally true! It never fails that as soon as I get Shane down, an ambulance or cop comes down the street with siren blaring. Curses! Of course, that's what we get for living on a busy street...

ETA: Go, Hil!
