Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Very medicinal, Consuela!

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

SOrry about the trauma, shrift; hooray for views and tacos!

On the bright side, somehow I ended up with a corner desk with windows and a great view. There was some trauma but also excellent tacos for lunch, so I guess it's not all bad.

Spiff! I think you win.

I can see mountains from my desk! I'm now testing out my evening commute home from the new office.

Trauma tacos does not sound excellent (that's how I first read that).

The tacos were a beefy balm, and not traumatic at all.

Tacos can cure anything! (Except, I suppose, food poisoning.)

I did my Skype interview today and it was fine, but not the best interview I've ever had. In fact, not as good as the last two I did. So I am feeling meh. Also, it is somehow actually harder to interview when you've met 5 of the 6 people on the search committee, and have known one of them for 20 years.

Window mountains are very nice. How far away are yours?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Tomorrow we fly to Kansas City for WorldCon!

Have fun! I work not far from the convention center. I'll marvel at the crowds from a safe distance.

Wait, is that Maleficent? Google image search says no. Snow White's stepmother, I guess. Does she have a name?

Technically she was conceived as Queen Grimhilde by the animators (though not named as such in the film), but I think we can all agree she was actually Uta von Ballenstedt. Guess Margrave Eckard II wasn't fond of apples.

Not sure how far. Maybe 20 miles?
