Shir, I'd say you were intellectually curious, with a wide-ranging set of interests, but quite rigorous in determining what you'd accept as fact.
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What's a TED convention? I keep thinking either something like HAL or either Ted Danson.
I'm pretty sure neither is right.
ION, it's snowing here. A light dusting, but still.
More. Grey. Day. With. Snow.
Gross.

Sweet! Cricket posted. Now come and play in Bitches! Lucky for you, today seems to be a slow day.
Yes, for me, the head ache that was all day yesterday and finally went away at 2am, came back triply strong at 6:30am. Woke me up. Immediatly took 1000mg of tylenol and a coke. Took over an hour for it to go away. I swear, I needed a Patronus to rid that puppy. Oy.
Shir, you are amazing. That is the short answer. Intellectually curious, passionate about life, compassionate to your fellow humans, and vivid imagination. Not to mention great with languages, but that might just be the crazy American in me talking, in the land where we typically only speak one language.

Thanks for the well wishes, y'all! It's going quite well so far. I have internet access, 45 minutes for lunch and my boss leaves 50 minutes before I do. The only thing that sucks is parking is at a premium. The closest lot will cost me $700 a year. Or I can get a free bus pass, but my route requires I transfer at a transfer point in one of the worst neighborhoods in town. So, paid parking it is.
New work place? Do tell.
I've got the fancy title of University Services Program Associate in the Division of Continuing Studies at the UW. It means I handle all the planning of how, what, when, where for all the continuing education courses related to foreign languages. We've got 6 other USPAs who handle things like music, science, history, etc. I think they hired me primarily because they found out I could muddle along a little in both Spanish and German.
