Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

I kind of wish we had gotten family group pics (since there are no pictures of some folks, like Bob's littlest nieces who did not hit the dance floor with as much fervor as a couple of my nieces) but that would have just taken time away from the partying.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Now my student intern and I are ready to kill each other. She just did a mailing, and when I wrote the letter, I dated it (mistakenly) September 2011. She asked me about it, and I said something like- "wow, I was really ahead of myself". I assumed she changed it before printing it. She did not.

What is really irritating, though, is that when I said we were going to have to pull them, she said that she shouldn't have to redo it because it was my fault for not telling her to change it.

I am totally willing to share responsibility, but I hate that knee-jerk "not my fault" thing! It is partly her fault, and anyway, would you say that to your boss! I have redone hundreds of things that were my bosses' faults, AND pretended they were my fault!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

She thought going to print with an obviously wrong date was just fine, and if only you'd mentioned that that date was in the future!

Great pics, Lisah!

Um..yeah..somebody needs to learn the concept of boss and subordinate.

this is something that a lot of young people don't realize. I have started having a very frank chat with my student assistants before I hire them.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Blrgh. Last week, I got an email from the big law librarians association saying I had won a drawing for free registration to the annual meeting in Philadelphia, which would have been awesome because I would get to see Sparky and meet some of the people from Philadelphia I work with a lot, but there's no way I can go this year.

Small consolation--one of the reasons I can't go this year is that I will be cavorting in Vegas with Plei and Cashmere and Brenda (I think) just a few days after the conference.
