SOrry about the trauma, shrift; hooray for views and tacos!
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

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.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
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.
