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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I do! (Although I haven't done one in an age.)

I have interviewed student workers that I liked in 5 minutes! It is very embarrassing. I think they think they are not hired, but I often hire them. Of course, my requirement for student workers is mostly that I like them!

I am glad I'm not alone. This was two finalists for an entry-level position, so seriously I was mostly looking for vibe, since they were both qualified. And both white women. I seriously cannot hire one more white woman, and yet? Might have to.

Because books.

Do you want "Cunning Crosswords: 75 Challenging Puzzles," which is a NY Times thing, edited by Will Shortz? I didn't notice the "challenging" part when I bought it, and they're all too frustrating for me, since I tend to do them at night when I'm tired. There are maybe two in the whole book with a few words completed.

Okay! I just ran over to Garrett's and picked up a gallon of cheese popcorn for my dad, so I think all of my Christmas shopping is now sorted. My out of office message is on. My train leaves in 80 minutes.

I'm pretty sure I have presents, my eyeglasses, and my drugs. I'm so exhausted from being out every night this week that both of my eyes are twitching from the tired.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

That's the true meaning of Christmas right there.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

According to the comments, there's also a Pikachu with the same, er, feature.
