Steph, it was! It was a perfectly acceptable hotel otherwise. Clean rooms, good bed.

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 called Indian Giver.

Um... huh.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Oh my on the "indian Giver".

When I was young, I thought the term was referring to the white people who gave the Indians worthless blankets and beads to take their land. I was pretty naive

Rain, hooray!

Of course, the weather told me it would rain later today and it was just sort of a light mist when I left the house so I don't have a jacket or umbrella, but it's not like I have to go back out into it soon.

The icemaker in my freezer is not working--do I find/call a refrigerator repairman for that? Or is there some other category of repairperson I should be asking?

I'm flying back from Canada this afternoon, which is good because I'm exhausted and I've already eaten too much poutine. I had some critical packing errors, one kinda trivial, one non-trivial.

I've spent so much time working this week on my performance review, this summit, and networking with people here that I'm going to faceplant my bed this evening when I get through Customs and make it home.

I was in the Toronto airport yesterday afternoon and wondering if I would run in to you.

A slight bit of job-ma would be appropriate in the next hour -- I have a promising phone screen, but it turns out that it will involve coding-on-the-spot which makes my anxiety super-strong.

Good luck Theo!

Ugh, I would hate that. When my anxiety is bad I have trouble typing.
