Sewer work commences tomorrow by a contractor for the city. But there is a city sewer truck out there now (this is downstream of me.)
Doesn't bode well.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I found a perfectly fitting gored Talbot's teeny polka-dotted skirt at a consignment shop for $12 in immaculate condition. It's business casual for the interview, so I just need to pop out to Old Navy tomorrow and get a fitted cardigan or such for 50% off and I'm set for the interview tomorrow. Thank god.

I may have to seize the cat.
I've been working in a windowless basement office for two and a half years. Today, I was shown a new office option. Still in the basement, but it has windows. Yes please.

Good luck, Strix! Yay skirt!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yay perfect skirt opportunity, Strix!
Yay window opportunity, Kiba!
Boo sewer opportunity, sarameg. May that go well.
I watched the SOTU address, and watched the official rebuttal. That's it, no more speeches.

I liked that POTUS got a minor jab in during SOTU. Boehner looked constipated as usual.

I've been working in a windowless basement office for two and a half years.
In my career, I've spent a lot of time working in various windowless server rooms, but the very worst was when my department of three got moved into sub-basement level 3 in the bowels of a malfunctioning skyscraper. Our office was a small, low-ceiling, smelly, open-plan room without cell service. If you got lost in the warren of tunnels, you'd know to turn around once you stumbled over the stored Christmas decorations.
In short, windows are nice. I hope you get windows.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Windows are good. I like seeing stuff.
Ha! Actually I meant beef liver (because that's "liver" in my head) but that's clearly not what I wrote. Chicken liver on the other hand, much depends on the preparation. Like sauteed in butter is a bit too forward to me, but I love pate and love it in pasta sauces.
Oh. Totally different. We're back to samesies.

We used to tell new hires to navigate through the halls by the busts. "Turn left at Marconi to get to Publications!" I'm glad I never had to work in a basement; I had enough trouble breathing in a closed building. Although IEEE's basement is sweet, it looks like a starship down there.

Checking in from CPH. I finally tried the thin wafers of chocolate on buttered toast as part of breakfast today. Between that and the excellent coffee, I am surviving jetlag. My co-workers are all trying to convince me to relocate here.
