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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

This is an editorial position?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've got a long day today. Doing all my regular teaching, then driving three and a half hours to NJ for Rosh Hashanah. At least tonight's dinner will just be my immediate family -- the cousins and friends are coming tomorrow night.

Because books.

Oh yeah, Tom.

Amy, if you print this out and tack it up on her office door when she's away, will she know it was you? [link]

Because books.

I work at home, so that's not really an option. I did ask her to "bear with me" later in the same email exchange, though.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

omg TODAY.

eye dr. appt this morning ran 45 minutes late. making me 1 hour late for work. As soon as I realized I would be late, I emailed everyone in the office. I did not email my boss as he is in NE. Apparently I am to email him first, so I am in his bad graces.

Then I wrote down an order for tomorrow on today's date on our weekly schedule, so trucks and equipment at the wrong site and angry contractor. UGH. my mistake, clear as day.

I also had forgotten about getting mac to school on time since I had a dr. appt (I actually thought that the appt might only be 30 min long, but no), so had to last minute call my parents and have them get him from the dr. office and to school.
