Jesse, your phone had jetlag too.

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.
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 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.
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!
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?
A profeprofessors husband just stop by while I was listening to Muppet Christ Superstar, particularly the part where Gonzo's chickens are bauking "Jesus Christ Superstar, do you think your who they say you are." It was a little embarrassing.
I think this episode of Sesame Street features Game of Thrones stars. I just spent ten minutes watching Peter Dinklage sing about "Simon Says", and now Lena Headey is explaining the word of the day.
I've been very remiss in keeping everyone up to date on our cat Arthur's kidney failure. Penn rejected him because he tested positive for coronavirus, which can mutate into FIP (a terminal disease for which there isn't really any treatment, much less a cure). Wisconsin was willing to take him and put him on the immune suppressant -- no FIP, but Wisconsin later rejected him because it took enormous doses of the immune suppressant to get the amount in his system to a normal level.
And now the University of Georgia is willing to evaluate him. They would use a different immune suppressant, which is commonly used on dogs but hasn't been tried on cats. So there's a purely experimental angle to this.
Of course we're going forward. It's what we do.
