I'm attending it as a facebook event, so it must be true.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Does Office Max still exist?
Not the Mayan franchises, which is the problem. Where am I supposed to get my Long Count wall carvings for the next 7000 years?!
I hope the home health thing works out, ita! And that the Hobbit is thoroughly enjoyable.
And now that I am on a computer and not my phone - thanks for sorting out what past me was talking about, y'all! I could have googled, but I was sure buffistas would know without me having to figure out relevant search terms.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
And also because I failed to make this joke at the actual event today, but since the US government apology to Native peoples was read aloud today, I totally believe that it's the end of the world now.

I would be annoyed if it happened, as well. There are so many books left to read!
EXACTLY. Plus I've got a fancy event to emcee on NYE, complete with a fancy fancy outfit that I want to wear. The world can't end, it would thwart my fashion plans.

At the moment, I'm looking forward to the end of the world.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Okay, so I am grading papers. Which I absolutely cannot fucking stand. Hate it.
Anyway, you know what puts me in a REALLY good mood? A student, a graduate student, getting her master's degree, citing the History Channel as a citation in a paper. Not a published article. Not a book. And *not* related directly to our field.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
So the ABQ job, which made an initial offer of around 20% less than the husband was making at his previous job, came back with another offer. A whole $2,000 more. So I guess we're not going to ABQ.

Liese! Was it really? That's fabulous.
A student, a graduate student, getting her master's degree, citing the History Channel as a citation in a paper
Pfffft. Amazing.
A whole $2,000 more
Well, that's ridiculous.

Yeah, at this point even if they offer a match you should turn it down. Anytime a place ends up hiring for more than they intended to pay their expectations become unreasonably high and usually you start out with enemies. So yeah ABQ is out even if they come up with yet another offer.

I don't think there will be another offer. I can't even believe it was worth anyone's time to raise it by $2,000, including theirs.
