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.

Work is going to be one big 11- or 12-hour onerous task for me Friday, so gonna pass.

While today was a busy and productive day, I got almost none of the drawing I'd intended to do finished because 4 different people were bombarding me with surprise tasks every few minutes.

I think that counts as onerous, Matt! I hope you survive, and treat yourself to something nice this weekend.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm so proud of myself, I've been sorting and discarding 5+ years of bills and correspondence. When I'm finished, it will all be sorted into boxes labelled 2005, 2006, etcetera. Next step today is to Pay All The Bills.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I could use to do Onerous Task Friday with you, Strix. My habitat needs unfucking something fierce.

My Onerous Task Thursday includes giving the Provost a budget projection for FY15 (which normally wouldn't be needed until March, but he is all over the law school finances right now), and writing a cover letter. Of these two tasks, the cover letter is proving more difficult and more I don't wanna.

Yes! We need to revive Onerous Task days. Though some of mine are done now thanks to the cleaning fairies.

Cover letters are the worst.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

What 5 things/5 minute long tasks can others do today?

I've got 5 things! Wash dishes, clean out my t-shirt drawer, walk the dog, dust, sort through papers on the table from hell.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had my call with the fancy nonprofit, and she wants me to come in! So that's nice. It sounds like the salary would be about what I make now, which is fine, especially because that job would position me better for the next one.... Fingers crossed.

Because books.

Awesome, Jesse!

I have hair color on my head, so my first task is trying not to die from the fumes.
