Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Is it time to go home yet?

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

Maybe zebras value their privacy more than most animals.

I think naked mole rats value their privacy even more. That's why they stay underground.

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

If they truly valued their privacy, they wouldn't be naked.

Not according to Olivia.

I'm so glad it's Friday. Even though I don't get weekends off.

ION, we've already had more 90+ days in July than we did all last year, and the next week is supposed to be 90+ and humid. Next week Thursday it's supposed to be 98.

I think I'm gonna buy an A/C tomorrow....

Good luck finding one! And make sure you get a programmable one, that way you can leave it a few degrees higher during the workday and then have it at just the right temp by the time you get home.

Yesterday, after picking up my cousin from his interview in Oak Park, I drove him around OP, Forest Park, and River Forest to show him the neighborhoods and the range of apartments in the area. He likes older places, but I warned him that older apartments usually mean no elevators and no AC. He uses a cane, so the elevator can be important if he gets a walk-up. I also warned him about finding a place with off-street parking, which was something the people he interviewed with also mentioned.

They told him they want to talk to potential hires in person twice, so I'm hoping he gets a callback next week. He has to fly out from Columbus, so it's a PITA for him to get out here again, but he's been out of work for a while and this would be a great job for him. He heard the company head speak at an acoustics symposium and sent the guy his resume several months ago, but didn't get the call for an interview until now.

That's a good idea. Or else I could just turn it off when I'm not around, which is what I used to do....

While, on the one hand, I maintain my links are of a perfectly cromulent nature, I just made someone on another board think thoughts he finds ooky, and it made me laugh until I cried.

Which I needed, because my 12:30 is going to kill me.

Why am I here? I have doc prep to do! Go away, ita!
