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.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

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.

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

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.

Our wings are not tired.
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.

I sent my self-eval to my manager yesterday. I didn't even give it a once over for typos, I figured whatever i got in there by now is fine. It's not like it goes anywhere except to her and maybe into my file, as far as I know, so who cares how complete it is? If that has a significant effect on my performance review, something is wrong IMO.
Maybe I'll buy lottery ticket today, since the Buffyverse is legally old enough.
ETA that's a great shirt, Zen. Excellent to wear while meditating all "ohmmmmm"

I dreamed I lived with Tony Stark last night, essentially as someone to fuss over him--listen to strange jokes and stories, accept random hugs, remind him to eat. Sort of a nanny, I guess. It wasn't too bad, actually, we lived in a nice little Gothic Revival cottage and it was quite comfortable. No killer robots or aliens anywhere.

Connie, that sounds like the perfect dream-life.

ahaha! Yeah, it really gets me amped up for my day.

I don't even need to click on the link to get the gist of the t-shirt, because (1) I married into a family of electrical engineers, and (2) I know where you work. Also (3) puns.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I That sounds like a splendid dream, Connie.
Excellent work, payers down of bills.
Less said about self-evals, the better, I think - other than "good on you, getting the annoying task out of the way.
Happy Buffy-versary, people.
