Steph, clearly you're supposed to drink enough bootleg gin that the taste of the food ceases to matter.
Just call me the computer whisperer.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Turns out there is no menu, but the bar it's attached to (this is confusing; the party was at a bar that you get to through another bar, speakeasy-style) brought over big platters of wings/nachos/tiny sandwiches, along with fruit/veggie/cheese trays. I cobbled together enough food and mimosas to fill me up. And the bar was pretty cool.

I got home from running errands and my house key was missing and as I was contemplating going back to PetSmart, where I was sure it had popped loose, the bag of cat food broke and dumped cans and the key on my foot. Ow, yay?
Also, got bins for shoes and I've attained some measure of order...and then I found another bag of shoes to go through.

Sounds fun Teppy.
I want weekly visitation rights on the house I'm buying. This waiting sucks. We are awaiting the appraisal to see how much I'm actuaLl paying for the place. April 24th seems so far away.

I kinda wish I had Steph's morning. My day has been pretty thankless so far. I am trying to get my own grading done while also supporting my daughter as she drama llamas her way through her 30 minutes of math homework. It has taken 3 hours so far, and she still isn't done. We have her complete the work, then check, and if there are crazy numbers of errors we ask her to redo it. We are stuck at that particular point in the loop. She and I both know it's counterproductive at this point, so I'm just letting her mope around the house and not forcing her to work.
Ugh.
I did have to engage a different set of thinking about the Greek Life people, which is healthy for me to not always assume the worse.
I have to say working at a school with a huge Greek presence means I had to recognize and then actively unlearn any stereotypes I had about them.

If it helps, I came home from drinking mimosas to a mountain of work. SO BORING.

Unfortunately, for me, working at a school with a huge Greek presence has mostly reinforced the stereotypes I had about them.

My chiropractor has a web site and a Facebook page. Did she use those to communicate that she was going to be out of the office for three days? Noooo.
I fear that the Greek system has yet to fail to reinforce my stereotypes.
