This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

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.

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

Good luck Theo!

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

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

Good luck, Theo!

Look at all y'all traveling.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, Theo!

Ha! I actually flew into the regional airport in Kitchener. While it's convenient, it doesn't have Pearson's free wifi and Duty Free where I can buy all the chocolate.

And my roommate tells me that painters are coming tomorrow, so I guess I won't even try to work from home on Friday. Ugh.
