I got 7/10 on a Prof or Hobo quiz. And I have a tech screen phone interview today that I'd very much like to ace.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

In other news, a friend of mine, mother of a strong contender for the Cutest Baby in the World title, is having her baby baptized this Sunday. It's an Episcopalian ceremony. I grew up Methodist, so I was wondering if there was anything I needed to know. Should I bring a card? A gift? Just a willingness to sing "Jerusalem"?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How are you getting cities?
Those were the only two. I got a couple small towns, but outpost Wyoming? I'm still thinking Wild West re-enactment, and I got a Big Winch which would have tipped off your average Australian, I guess, but all I could tell was that the parking lot didn't look like it had a lot of American cars.
Otherwise, long dusty roads that are in South Africa that I think are in Australia and vice versa, and also that bridge over the mucky tropical river was Brazil, not Nigeria.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
14051 points. It was a pretty easy selection: one in Norway (Moose Crossing sign), one in France, one on the Italian-Swiss border, one in Japan. And then one in Australia with a sign giving the region (Pilbara).

Interview~ma, Theo!
I have no idea about Episcopalian baptisms, Calli, but I think a willingness to sing Jerusalem is always a good idea. Makes me think of Sting and David Bowie, which I feel is often a recommended state of mind.

I'm so glad Mr Peabody finally ran home, Ginger!
The powers that be did something awful to us: without warning, overnight, they removed all the coffee makers (we had pod things in the staff & faculty lounges). A look through the window tells me the Dean's office still has one, and it's possible the faculty lounge behind the double locked doors still has one (I do have keys, somewhere), but, this was a really shitty thing to do.

Oh, that's fine. I mean, usually that's more of a Tuesday thing for me, but I can adjust for a friend.

That's awful!
