We have self-evaluation due next Friday. Thanks for the notice! No one is scrabbling desperately at the last minute to finish projects, and I just realised I have a mandatory certification (minor) to complete by tomorrow.
Sparky, that's entirely miserable.
Sparky,
I really hope things end up okay for you. but regardless it sounds like your work environment will be under significant strain. Ugh.

I've told everyone I supervise that if they need to get the hell out of here and find someplace where it is easier to breath the code words are "I'm going to the stacks to do research" and I will give them cover if anyone comes looking.

I wore all black today: my new black Banana Republic dress, black boots, black cashmere sweater. I'm in prospective mourning for my job. And my free time.
I might laugh.
I would definitely laugh. Especially if I insisted that the gift was contingent on allowing pro-choice guest speakers when the topic has nothing to do with abortion.
Egad, Sparky. Non~cut~ma for you.
Good god: some assholes destroyed $25m of Italian wine: [link]
I've had Brunello di Montalcino, although not the (very expensive) kind that was destroyed. It was good.
