And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So, I came to my office at 9am for a meeting with a prospective graduate student. Said meeting was arranged about 2 weeks ago.

At 9:40 I emailed the staff member who introduced me to the person that he did not show up. She responds to me and cc's him wondering if traffic held him up. And she confirmed the day and time I had was correct.

He replied to her (cc'ing me) at 10:50 saying "I'm so sorry I didn't have a chance to contact her - crazy morning. I'm getting married this weekend and running around. Can u please forward me her contact info so I can reschedule?"

In the grand scheme of things, this is just irritating, but I could be home in my sweat pants working.

Second, how could you not notice you cc'd me on the email message? Who did you think was in the recipient list?

Third, why would you arrange this meeting - which was not pressing - like 2 days before you were going to get married? On what planet is that a good idea?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

From Sunday's Revenge what was in the frame that Nolan's assistant was looking at?

Well, boys are sometimes dumb about weddings, but dude. Reschedule. Not the first impression you want to make on a potential advisor!!

ita, I like you. I suspect most buffistas do. Is that weird, or is it not weird because we know you?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

sj,

I don't know! I thought it was a childhood photo of Nolan with his parents.

le nubian I thought I saw something with writing, but TV is too small. And I was watching on demand, which makes it difficult to pause. Google is giving me no love.

It was something David Clarke-related.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

sj, I think it was a check from David Clark from when he started the business. Scandalous!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

-t, interesting. Do we think she is working against Nolan and therefore the David Clark thing would be significant? Because it is certainly not new information to the viewer.

Gotta be, I would think. And I do not think she is on the up and up. Nor is the fact that suddenly Nolan's being audited and someone is trying to snake the dumbasses out of their bar a coincidence.

*Someone* is on to Emily and her crew. I can't really figure out who though. Clearly not any of the Graysons.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

brenda,

I am not sure they are all related:

I think the Nolan stuff is related. It is not a coincidence he is being audited. I hope she is on the up and up because it would be too deja-vu for him to be seduced by another person who is out to get him. That said, I think the bar shit is just because someone wants that location for some reason. They have been trying to get that bar since his father was alive.
