I was talking today with my student about Robin Thicke, and mentioned that I was surprised that he was roughly my age. She responded with "yeah, he's really old!" He is younger than I am by about 4 years

I think I'm going to miss having people around, and a built-in group to do something with.
I'm trying to figure this out, too. I mean, most of my old team is still in the office, but we're scattered and on different teams and floors. And my new team are all in different offices.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Jesse, that kinda sucks. Same for you, Sophia.
Yeah, shrift. HQ is in NH, and the rest of us are spread across the country. I'm going to have to fight the tendency to isolate myself.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am currently eating an ice cream cookie sandwich with snickerdoodle cookies and salted caramel ice cream, courtesy of the firm.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Lee is the worst.

I'm going to have to fight the tendency to isolate myself.
Yep. I think my biggest issue is going to be similar to someone who works from home, and that's keeping myself on a regular schedule and holding myself accountable when my manager & coworkers aren't there to see me slink into work late.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That ice cream sounds disgusting, so she's the worst having the worst time.
Is it fair to criticise Pacific Rim for not being more of a character piece? Shouldn't we be grateful it was as much as it turned out to be? ROBOT LIZARD SMASH SMASH is what them upstairs ordered. If you don't want to see that movie, don't buy a ticket.
NO LUNCH.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Vacation has commenced, yay!
Now I just have to do laundry, pack, and load the car.
I am not looking forward to the long drive across KS tomorrow, but at least it is not forecast to be blazing hot.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
yay for vacation!
