We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

3 weeks for conversion to our format

I'm curious about this, though. We just get Word docs in and edit in the Word files.

(Our acceptance-to-publication time, BTW, is about 3-4 months. And we keep accepting ever larger numbers of papers, which just makes that time longer and longer. Makes us look AWESOME, let me tell you.)

omg, drama chick at work is now having major drama on the phone loud enough for me to hear about paying a toll fee late. Jesusita. I feel for the operator.

Okay, I did my one thing!

I have done several things! Go me!

And I will head to yoga with a girlfriend shortly, come back and edit some more, and then this weekend is Cabin in the Woods, fnacy ice cream (anniversary movie and ice cream, since our anniversary day was a work night) and hanging out with friends tomorrow night, including a good friend who now lives in Chicago (we FINALLY get to see her 2nd child, a daughter, who is almost a year old now.)

And then...TAXES. KHAAAAANNNNN!

our turnaround time, from receiving a manuscript for publication to actual final-form publication, will go from 6 weeks to 3 weeks.

WTF? Are they counting on a wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey thing?

Art Crawl!!!

Man, I've done a number of things including calling everyone who needed to sign up for interviews next week. (Student committee leader type positions) Still have tons of stuff. . . mostly art collection related.

I cleared off one pile and then de-cluttered 3 of 4 boxes sitting in front of my desk.

My next one thing is a bitch. I'd rather declutter.

I think I'm not going to bring my work laptop home with me this weekend even though there's always busywork I could do while watching Netflix.

I need to buy new walking shoes. And more Hawaiian rum while I'm at it, since the store is down the street from DSW.

And because I need to spring clean my closet, perhaps I'll do some more unfucking: [link]

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

What are people doing this weekend?

I have a voice lesson tonight and a massage appointment tomorrow afternoon.

I might be doing some voter registration tomorrow morning. Normally I enjoy it, but I'm kind of pissed off at the person who keeps calling me during working hours wanting to discuss scheduling. I answer my phone at work because sometimes I get work-related calls from off-site people on it (our office phone network's had some issues), but I can't discuss political things during working hours. "Get my ass fired," levels of can't. I've told the organizers not to call me during week days but they won't stop. Call after 5 pm or don't call at all. Pick one.
