Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

At least I finally figured out how to make my phone show me the correct time. My computer still thinks it's 2am. Which, I mean, it is in Boston....

Ha, I get so used to my phone adjusting automatically that I forget everything doesn't.

I really don't know why my phone couldn't figure out what time it is here -- it was giving me the right weather!

Jesse, your phone had jetlag too.

Mundanely, I bet Jesse's phone had "location services" turned off. Jetlag is a lot more interesting.

Tomorrow I will be in Dallas and will get to see msbelle & Heather! You may all admit to your jealousy, now.

Unfortunately, before tomorrow comes there is today, which includes a faculty meeting with the longest agenda ever.

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

I am jealous (not of the meeting).

I am mildly aggravated, as I always am after a holiday, that I have to work five days this week. But I've got a half hour Meet & Greet with Buddy Valastro in the middle of today, that should make a nice break.

Art Crawl!!!

So, the process to get Energy Assistance is extremely onerous if you have misplaced your social security card because they won't even accept tax forms as verified SS numbers.

Also, NIU HR won't allow even the person whose SS card it is to come in and copy their copy of the card.

HR is consistently annoying. . .so that should have come as no surprise. I wonder if they're afraid that some nefarious entity is blackmailing me into giving them a copy of my SS card for some reason.

Ooh, that is jealous-making, Sparky!

And an annoying PITA for you sumi! How hard is it to get a replacement SS card? (Also, it's ridiculous that anyone requires that piece of paper as an original anything.)

Mundanely, I bet Jesse's phone had "location services" turned off.

No, the phone definitely knew I was in Maseru, because it was giving me Maseru weather. And I had the time settings on auto-find or whatever. It just didn't know what time zone Maseru is in!

Because books.

I got my SS card replaced here in PA and it was fairly painless, but I went right to an SS office. I'm sorry it's such a hassle, sumi.

Jesse, when do you come home?
