Thomas Boswell has the perfect description of Tigers manager Jim Leyland: "Normally, he looks like he just found four dead bodies in the trunk of an Elmore Leonard character’s car and can’t bear to ask Dutch how they got there."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So I was talking to my therapist last night about how I'm so stressed out at work, and she was like, "Your department is down two people right now? That's why." OH RIGHT. That IS why!
But I still don't feel like working today.
In honor of Ada Lovelace Day, I'll give a shout-out to Lise Meitner: [link]

Between the Bloggess, Ada Lovelace Day and this [link] I suspect it's a very Buffista holiday.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yesterday at work, we were watching a thing with a bunch of short clips, and one of them was from Jeeves and Wooster maybe, and my coworker leans over and says, "Was that the guy who plays House?!?!?!?!?!?" It was funny. To me.

Thank you Grilled Cheesus! I just found out that I will not be hit with the logistical nightmare project I'd been dreading this past week. I'll be busy throughout the winter, but likely the good kind of busy rather than the kind that requires talking down from a ledge.
