That sucks, Burrell. Can you have some quiet time today?
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I hope so, Jesse. The trick is to manage to also find time for grading and laundry and TCB. Will probably put the handling of actually onerous stuff off until tomorrow.

Apparently, October is the cranky month for me. I am hiding in my cubicle in lieu of punching people in the face. For no good reason, I'm just cranky.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm sorry, Burrell and Sue.
I feel slightly less bummed about the job rejection in the light of day. I still have three interviews scheduled in the next two weeks. I tried on my interview outfit last night (a classy black pantsuit with a black and white blouse, and black shoes--a compromise between interview professionalism and the walking tour of a large Midwestern college that will also occur). I clean up ok. My hair should be fine for the next couple of weeks, but I should probably schedule a brow and lash dye.

That sounds pretty good, Calli!

And I got two calls from head hunters, for positions that I might even be able to fill, this morning. Is it Steam Engine Time already?

For the first time in quite a while, work is quiet. No big storms to wreak havoc, and no big software releases or catastrophic update failures to screw up thousands of our users. It's like our programmers may have actually learned how to put together a product that works--though they had to postpone the latest update four times because of glitches. At least they found the problems before release.
It makes me kind of twitchy, waiting for other shoes.

That would be nice!
I've started dabbling in aromatherapy for my dang allergy symptoms because I'm pretty sure it won't make them worse so why not? Anyway, I made up a batch last night of something that is supposed to be soothing when my eyes get itchy, but I left it at home and now my eyes are itchy. Sadface for missing a test opportunity.

I just looked up how to make homemade tortilla chips, which would involve making homemade tortillas, which is an attractive thought since I can get masa harina dead cheap around here, same for corn oil.
