I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I was taking the meara approach and treating today like the holiday it is - staying in my pajamas, giving myself a facial while watching Farscape, that sort of thing - but I decided I'd better go ahead and get this application ready to mail before I lose the transcripts that have to go with it. It's an application to take an exam to qualify for a job with the state that currently doesn't have openings near me but I hope might some day.

OMG it took me hours to get through it all and make sure I had the dates formatted correctly and didn't answer questions I wasn't supposed answer. Even getting the app and (sealed in their own envelopes, of course) transcripts stuffed into an envelope that I bought especially because it was supposed to be the right size was a chore and a half. So I am done, no more productivity today. More Farscape and maybe a cocktail.

Um, less all about me, I also love Burt&Virginia on Raising Hope.

GUESS WHO JUST CALLED ME??!!! MISS LOUISE!

She's alive, had just changed phones a year ago. She's doing well, still in the senior apartments downtown and loving it (she has a view of the harbor.) She's got a new great-grandbaby who she adores.

I am SO RELIEVED to hear from her! Told her I'm going to be calling now that I have her number.

Yay 2013!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That is a great start to the year, sarameg! So great to hear! Life of Riley--great grandchildren! Totes amazing.

Browser question-- do ¹ and ⊃ look different to you? Browser/OS check with versions, plz. None of you are first-timers. You know the drill.

Bonus question: what do ¹ and &sup look like?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

First one, I see an exponent 1, and a set containment symbol. Second one, the exponent 1 again, and then "&sup". Firefox 17.0.1, Mac OS 10.6.8.

Different. iOS version of Safari, I suppose I can look up more detail if you need it.

Bonus question: first one looks like a footnote or exponent, second one doesn't appear to do anything.
