My To Do List is under 400 items! Woohoo!
OMG, if my To Do list goes over 15, I shut down mentally and watch renovation shows
I keep moving things from one to-do list to the next. For YEARS.
Nice acronym, Mom!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Something I've been meaning to post. You may have been found yourself thinking, I wonder which developed country is currently graced with the most incompetent national leader. Wonder no longer. The Council on Foreign Relations has done the legwork for you, and determined that this honor goes to Australia: [link]
I won't go into a litany of his many missteps, but for a highlight: apparently without consulting anyone else in the government, he decided to award a knighthood to Prince Philip. Yes, that Prince Philip. More precisely, he decreed that from now on, Australia was going to award knighthoods, because we're known for our aristocracy and many castles. Then he gave one to the Queen's husband. (One friend of ours pointed out that this was a demotion.)
It's not quite Caligula making his favorite horse a senator, but then I doubt Caligula's horse ever asked an Australian Aborigine if they still chucked spears at each other.

Your to-do list is a time traveller!

Schedule was sent out to clarify when and what the 6 meetings on this project in the next 4 days are.
2 of them are wrong times and topics. I can't even.

You're giving me Dubya flashbacks, BT. Although, to be fair, he never tried knighting anyone.

Because books.
If weather hoses my flights, does anyone know if I can get my money back?
Or they'd transfer the ticket to another flight, maybe? I would hope so.

You certainly ought to get something, Calli, but I have no actual knowledge.
I'm sorry, bt, I read "Australian knights" and I just need it to be some kind of Yahoo Serious Mad Max mashup.
ETA part of me wants to ask if the CFR is a respected body, but really, even if it's just some guy's tumblr screed about Tony Abbot that's a pretty good takedown.

Well, my flight got delayed again, so if it leaves at all it'll still miss my connection. I do like Delta's call back function. Instead of me staying on hold they'll supposedly call me back within a certain time frame.

Good luck, Calli - with making your connection or rescheduling, and with the interview, eventually.
