SOrry about the trauma, shrift; hooray for views and tacos!
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
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?

I can believe that. That would be weird. I'm sorry you feel meh about it.
Yay mountains!
I'm having a very adult dinner of corn dog + french fries, possibly with ice cream to follow.
