Okay, that ongoing sinus ick that I mentioned last week? I'm finally going to the doctor for it today. Not looking forward to more antibiotics, but I am looking forward to feeling better.
Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
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 want a three day weekend PLUS Wednesdays off. Pretty much, I wish I did not have to work.
I am very much looking forward to retirement! I have quite a while left to anticipate that, alas.
I am booked for Ecuador! Well, I am waiting for the confirmation that I've given them all the info they need to book me for Ecuador, but close enough.
Boot, bra, clothes, and work. This is my morning so far. I'm ready for a nap already but I have three conference calls back to back.
The one advantage of going back to Previous Employer would be getting back on a 9/80 schedule, which means a three day weekend every other week. So useful.
Dad's surgery must be over, I'm waiting for the doctor to come talk to me.
I feel like retirement is going to be wasted when I am old. I wish I could do something like a reverse retirement!
I also have an irrational hatred for the words "Plenary Session" at any conference that is just a tiny tiny thing that no outside people are invited to. It is too formal. Also, this particular "conference" has 4 plenary sessions and lunch. There are no other kind of sessions.
I don't know that that hatred is all that irrational....

Yeah, I think I would like that. It wouldn't fly here, I don't think, because people basically work all the time.
I am pondering aspic(s) today. Why, why, why aspic? I have never had it, and I probably should try, but it seems so unappetizing. But, they were very popular from at least the late 1800's to, like, 1950, right? But WHY?
why aspic?
There are lots of things that are objectively gross and disgusting that people nonetheless consume. Like cauliflower.
