Natter 67: Overriding Vetoes
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
skimming, lots of skipping, and serial:
Here's a link to Jesse et Laurant, a food delivery place in the Bay Area that gets terrific reviews from one of the attys. at my former workplace and her personal friends. They deliver all around the Bay Area: [link]
A HO, THAN, Skipperdodddles!
I loved the article on the "untranslatable" words back there, but I think we need a better word than "untranslatable". We all know what the word mean, now, so.... they were translated!
I know what they mean is just that there isn't a nice, simple, one-word translation, but... I don't know. I study a lot of languages and so I maintain that NOTHING is untranslatable :p
OMFG. I got a wrong-number call at 3:30 this morning, which woke me up for a long time. So sleepy! Ugh. I may need an extra cup of coffee.
Yikes, that is TERRIBLE. I don't want my phone to ring at 3:30 when it is someone I know, never mind a wrong number!
Definitely go for the extra coffee. It's Friday!
Also, a 3:30 am phone call makes me wake up in a panic, because the only time anyone calls me at the time is if someone has died! So then it is even harder getting back to sleep.
Right! Late night phone calls are almost never good.
I get called frequently at 5:30 AM for my job and I'm still having trouble getting used to being woken up that early. 5:30 is still within 'panic-worthy' time, so it's been difficult.
It is Bagel Friday in my new office, and the bagels are delicious.
At my other office (which I'll be returning two next week), I will be moved out of my old desk and into an office with a door.
There is no blinky message light on my phone this morning.
Life? Pretty damn good.
Excellent, Jessica! Bagels ARE delicious. My mother and I have chocolate chip bagels every Saturday morning and try to pretend we aren't having chocolate chips for breakfast.
Dilemma, buffistas!! I am substituting today and I brought in Kit-Kats to hand out, it being nearly Halloween, but I underestimated and didn't bring enough. Now, it's high school classes, not little kids, so I seriously doubt hard feelings, but should I hand it out until it's gone or just not hand out any at all? I already gave them out to one class. I'm thinking I brought it, I might as well give it away?
Jessica, I read new office and I was like, "Did I skim a new job?" Then an office with a door = heaven!
I can't fathom being doorless. Since being a teacher, I've had a door to close since the beginning. There is something really delightful about one's own space. Even a space one shares regularly with 47 other people. But during my time, I get to close the door and just be alone.
This was just by the side of the street! I paod 50ยข. Which I totally didn't have on me in coins.
One other advantage to the handicap placard is I never have to pay for metered parking (the other advantage is $3 parking at UCLA medical instead of $11).
