They rearranged our mailboxes in the mailroom at work, since some people left and we got some new people, and the boxes are supposed to be in alphabetical order. Mine got shifted to the top row of boxes, where I can't reach it. I had to go to the office and ask for it to be moved. This ended up being rather less embarrassing than I'd expected it to be, but still. And they're moving my box to the end of the cubby thing, so it'll be out of alphabetical order and all my students will complain that they can't find it.
Willow: Yikes. Imagine the things...Buffy: No! Stop imagining! All of you! Xander: Already got the visual.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

Gah! I hate subject lines. I know that some people just skim over the ones that they don't think are important, so I almost think that it's better to not have one at all.

so I almost think that it's better to not have one at all.
Eh, I'd rather see almost any subject line than not have one. If I see a blank subject line, I assume it's probably spam.

Yay for successful navigation of the airport!
As long as we're all commented on Vortex's note, I'll add that I wouldn't start with being laid off. I'd start with something like "Can we find a time to meet for lunch or coffee? I'd like to pick your brains about career opportunities in legal education. I'm buying."

At our beginning-of-semester meeting today, we were told that the administration has told our department that we're supposed to create a culture of excellence. Nobody has yet been able to get a definition of this term, or any guidelines for how we should go about creating it.

Good news: Kato got picked for the canine calendar! He gets his picture taken by a professional dog photographer on Saturday.
I asked Tim, "Do you feel like our kid got accepted to college?"
"Uh, I feel like our kid got picked to be on a calendar."
Fair enough.
