Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Sail, are you busy this weekend? I'm probably going to Madison to celebrate my birthday with a few friends--wanna join us? Sounds like Friday night and maybe Saturday?
(Non of my non-buffista friends seem to be cat-herders, so we're late with the planning.)
Love to, tommy! I've even got a place for you to crash, if you need it. My roommate is off to California for a couple weeks; you're welcome to use her room.
Right, can't wear slippers to work. At least I realized before I got out the door this time.
Got all the way to the park this morning before realizing the dog had no collar on. DST gronk.
Between DST and being pre-coffee, I managed to break a mug and pour wet coffee grinds all over the floor. Gronk.
Now to have a chat with my boss about the ridiculous drama. Ugh.
I totally brought Steph's rule about no abbreviations unless it's in the piece five times to my staff meeting -- did I say that yesterday? We liked it!
I cling to my acronyms. I would go bonkers if I had to spell out complementary metal-oxide semiconductor every time.
The acronym of which is CMOS, of course, which makes me do a little double-take every time I see the acronym for Chicago Manual of Style.
Ha, I see CMOS and know what it is, but can't ever tell you what it stands for! Just like I struggle to remember what JFET stands for. (Junction Field Effect Transistor, for those playing along at home) and a bazillion others. And then all the schematic symbols that represent them all; it's another entire language, which I'm rapidly forgetting as I haven't had to use them in yonks.
See I would never think Chicago Manual of Style for CMOS. I do hope someday to have an opportunity to use that in a joke.
I skipped a bunch. Moving is so much work. But the 18 year anniversary thing meant I really had to spend some Buffista time.
It is self-evaluation time in my world, and one piece is a memo to the Dean. Unlike other faculty members, I actually meet with the Dean every week, so this memo, filling him in on what I do outside the classroom feels like a waste of time.
I have a t-shirt with this design, which is a hit with my geeky engineers.
