this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Okay -- like I said, I can't get my brain around it. If it really does fall within the range, then I'm good. Thanks!

Okay, now will someone explain hierarchical linear modeling to me?? That's the thing I have to understand for my job this week. Right now I'm at the "okay they've got these bits of data, they do magic magic magic annnnnnd PROFIT!" stage.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Beyond my off the cuff scope, lisah, but it sounds interesting.

Target. Move-in week for nearby colleges. Don't.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's hot and ungodly humid here--bad time for a power outage. More than 2,500 homes are affected in my area.

Good thing I decided not to do laundry but go to a friend's house instead.

Eta: And the power's back. Given the extent of the outage I feared it'd be out for a long time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I've got nothing.

At 6 last night, I was going to ask someone if they could teach me about pivot tables, but then I decided to leave work instead and deal with it another time. I'm a little afraid that time should actually be now, but bleh.

If/when you need help with pivot tables, hit me up, Jesse. I use them all over the place on a regular basis.

Thank you! I have 300 expenditure lines I need to summarize, but I think my fundamental problem is, I don't necessarily know how to put the lines into the right categories because I don't know what they are. Oy.

That is as far as my understanding goes!
