I pretty frequently eat Greek yogurt with honey for breakfast. The other day I found a jar of maple cream in the cabinet... aw yeah.
Yum!

[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.

Hmm. Everyone on my side of the hallway has left for the day. I could sneak out early and pick up my dry cleaning before the theatre. Hmmm.

Just had lunch with a friend who's going to be here in PA next year. I still have no idea if I'll be here, but I did find out that her department is kind of desperate for someone to replace her, and she can put in a good word for me if my contract here isn't renewed, so that's something.

Vortex, make a run for it!
Hil, that is good news. Keeping the job~ma headed your way.

Sounds good, Hil--where is she now?
I just talked to a boss (not mine, she's on vacation) about whether I could take next week off, since they canceled everything. She said sure...then called me back a few minutes later to see if I wanted to go work in South America again, instead of taking vacation. Boss' boss is now checking if they need/want me and where. Could be interesting...

Hil, my university, which is something of a carbon copy of yours, has responded to the financial crisis by choosing not to replace retiring tenured faculty and increasing the number of people on contracts, who actually make a profit for the institution. So everyone who teaches undergrads was renewed for the next year. Hopefully it will be the same at your school.

Oooh. Theatre. Whatcha seeing?
Neil Simon's Plaza Suite. Looking forward to it. Nice tiny regional group. 140 seat room. Should be fun.

Thanks. Right now, the word is that the department will announce what's going on at the department meeting at the end of the month.

I would totally do that, meara
I think the fact that I would too is a sign I'm in the right place! :) Boss just emailed the Latin America team to ask--she said if they haven't responded by 10AM tomorrow to go ahead and take the vacay. Which I will also gladly do.
