Sparky, have a great time - sorry I can't be there. Happy dental-work Perkins.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just got back a copy of my background check. Epic fail. Which is kind of comforting. And discomfiting. Apparently my sister didn't respond to the check WRT my research assistant job with her, I got my dates wrong for my previous job, the titles didn't match for *any* of my jobs (because I used human readable ones, and my most recent ones), and my longest job can't be verified because they went out of business and McGill never verified my degree.
Yet, somehow, I got a job.
Huh.

did we invoke an entire week of Mondays?
It's beginning to look that way. I just wish it FELT like Monday instead of being like one. Sadly, it feels like Friday, and...IT'S NOT!!!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yet, somehow, I got a job.
Good thing you weren't applying at the CIA....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Apparently my sister didn't respond to the check WRT my research assistant job with her, I got my dates wrong for my previous job, the titles didn't match for *any* of my jobs (because I used human readable ones, and my most recent ones), and my longest job can't be verified because they went out of business and McGill never verified my degree.
That's pretty funny.

What is even happening?
Is anyone else watching President Obama on The View? About five minutes ago he referenced the lizard brain. Okay, he said "there's still a reptilian side of our brain..." but still!

Lizard brains rule!
(Sorry, my lizard brain made me write that.)

Coding and Sleeping
I saw the article and the latest study to show that Climate Change is happening along 11 lines of evidence. From other articles I think 300 climatologists are involved.
Study: Climate change 'undeniable'
The article, apparently to be fair, quotes skeptics. One of them seems to have some qualifications, an ex-professor of Environmental Scientists (also a fellow of Cato). Here are the descriptions of the others: Member of Competitive Enterprise Institute, a blogger, and the financier, who follows climate science as a hobby.
Not that any of this will matter as far as policy goes. Nothing significant will be done.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Okay, show of hands - who believes Obama when he says "I don't know who Snookie is." ?
(Or am I the only one watching The View right now?)
