they did a antibacterial fog of the entire building Tuesday night in order to kill of some microscopic critters.

Dang. That's a real thing? Like bug-bombing for roaches, only...bug-bombing?

I didn't know they could DO that with antibacterial stuff, ChiKat! I wonder why the OCD among us are not ALL OVER THAT.

How can I be wrong about some people and right about others?

What ChiKat said--that has more to do with them being good enough to fool you about their true colors. Or in some cases, maybe not their true colors but their weakest moments. When someone is being a jerk to you and previously you thought they were a stand-up kinda person, it rarely has anything to do with you, eh?

Glad to hear you're not a serial killer. You never know about those internet people and their axes...

I think that's more about them than it is about you. I mean, I can meet people, think they're cool, trust that they're being truthful with me. But if they're not? That's their shortcoming. Not mine. I just readjust my opinion when I get more information. Sometimes that readjustment sucks hairy donkey balls.

This.

In awesome news: nachos for lunch! Cinco de Mayo (observed) in the cafeteria! Woot.

ChiKat is very wise.

Maria, let Buffistas care for you.

And Liese, that's a beautiful blanket, what a wonderful thing to do.

As for flash drives, that's what I call them, although sometimes I'll say USB drive if I think the other person doesn't know what I mean.

I had cramps during the night and woke up for extra Ibuprofen, and then had to sleep an extra couple of hours (does anyone else find that sometimes Ibuprofen makes you sleepy?); as a result, I'm an hour late to work and I actually bought a cafe au lait on the way in.

... I wonder why we call it "cafe au lait" and not "caffe con leche" or even "coffee with milk". American language-use is weird.

600 mgs of ibuprofen will have me wanting a nap, for sure.

Naproxyn Sodium (sp?) will make me sleepy.

Oy, I need to go make myself some breakfast. I haven't eaten today. Plus only one cup of coffee, which is clearly not enough. But on the upside? Showered.

My plan for the day is to start taking care of all the errands/tasks that I've let accumulate over the past month or so. It's kind of an ugly list.

For those playing along on the "What Will Scrappy Make In The Crockpot" Game, I decided to make this: [link] except I replaced the eggplant with cut up yam. Looks like it could be kinda deelish.

I have noted everyone's suggestions, though, and will be trying them out in te future. So, thanks lovely Hivemind.

One of my students keeps emailing me begging for a higher grade. I've said no twice, and he emailed a third time.

So it's the 150th birthday of the Morrill Act, which gave states big parcels of land in the western US to sell and fund universities with.

Everyone who went to a state university should raise a glass to the Morrill Act. You know, if you want.
