Wow. YouTube video of ice coming ashore in MN: [link]
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I have my car back. Yay. Also, my old boss got a cake for me to thank me for helping to set up her lab. The two things are not related :)

Well, between ND giving 4 weeks vacation and Sheryl getting a cake, I feel like I am under-appreciated at work this week.

So a nice thing happened to me. My Nano died suddenly yesterday...couldn't even get it to restore. I mentioned it on Twitter and someone offered me an old one they never use. This is someone I have chatted with on Twitter but have never met. (I think she went to knit night with megan, though.) Coincidentally they live right around the corner from my work, so I picked it up after work. It was so old that she wouldn't take any money for it. So sweet.
I plan to make her cookies as a thank you. But first...French homework.

Oh, me too! Although one of my newer co-workers very kindly pulled me into a meeting with a contracting firm, and made it clear she would be happy if they hired me. Since they've done a lot of work for her and she's likely to be the agency lead on the contract, that's really very valuable.
I gave her some of my salted caramels, but seriously I owe her dinner.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
That ice was amazing. In the terrifying way but also nature is pretty powerful way. Wish I'd muted though.

I loved the sound of the ice in that video -- wish the audio had been clearer, but there was definitely not only a chug-chug-chug from the waves pushing it onshore but a delicate tinkling from the ice breaking.
Now we know how glaciers get started....

I was amazed at how fast the ice was moving.

It's amazing how a gardening club can be so inept at gardening. Silly rich housewives. After they left, me and boss replanted about 50% of what they planted (how is it a good idea to plant the Christmas Ferns two inches below soil level?!). And they were doing crazy things liking picking up a placed pot from where it should be planted, and putting it elsewhere in the planting bed, and then they or someone else would plant that plant there (as in: in the completely wrong spot) and soon the whole area was planted with plants in the wrong spot.
It's crazy that apparently, like the board, you need a member invite to join. Which just seems incestuous to me. And breeds more stupidity. But, hey, that's 50% less plants we had to plant!
