I signed up for a bunch of online courses and almost all of them are starting this week. I already unenrolled from one because if I don't want to do a course that requires discussion as part of the grade. If I wanted to interact with people, I'd enroll in an actual university class.
The statistics class is aimed at people who fear statistics and it promises to relate everything to daily life, so I need to run through some modules before I'll decide to stick with it.
Dear co-worker, leaving everything to the last minute as standard operating procedure will eventually bite you on the ass when you need more than a minute to get everything done.

Working at home. Someone convince me to change out of the clothes I wore yesterday and might have slept in.
I have no argument for that.
Oh, hey, I randomly have good eggs. What on earth am I going to do with those?
Timelies all!
Heading to Toronto tomorrow for FilKOntario. It's the 25th anniversary con, so it's a day longer.

I work from home every day. This sounds like every day to me.
It's a fine line between idiomatic and incorrect, tax preparation software walks it at great peril.
Aw, one of my coworkers is on NOVA. Mario Livio, one of my favorite work science-explainers. And not just for his accent. He's got a fascinating bio and is a really engaging speaker. [link] I never miss one of his talks.
OMG, I can't believe that's finally on! I was trying to raise money for that show 2+ years ago.
