Window mountains are very nice. How far away are yours?
'Get It Done'
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.

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?
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.
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.
In my new office, I will not have nearly the bucolic, verdant view, but I also will have a corner office on the top (4th) with 3 tall windows facing north & west, and two officemates who telework 3 days a week. I'll mostly have it to myself. And one of the new officemates is committed to plants in all windows, but I won't be responsible for them. And we're over a MOMs Organic Market and a short walk to the Avenue in Hampden and one of my go to booze stores. The one big drawback is losing my inside track to our sysadmin, my current officemate. I learn so much! OTOH, new ones are our testers and developers, so that's still good. I lobbied hard to be put in a mixed room.
That's sounds very good, sarameg!
That sounds promising, sarameg! Are you still happy with the new contract stuff?
The tacos were a beefy balm, and not traumatic at all.
Tacos can cure anything! (Except, I suppose, food poisoning.)
Perhaps trauma tacos are actually meant to help RELIEVE trauma. Those would be good tacos. (Mmm, tacos. Though actually what i want is to try the new BREAKFAST tacos that a new nearby restaurant/walk up window place has)
And ffs, my parents can't phone. I call them, they don't answer. They call back but I've got my hands full and can't answer before they hang up. But now I'm going straight to vmail, and I'm pretty sure it's because my dad didn't hang up the phone. Not the first time.
Meara, yes. Work is a clusterfuck, but that's the work, not the employment.
