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.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

So now I have an interview with the UK National Archives on the day before my birthday.

Isn't that near Kew Gardens? Neat! Anyway, a job offer would be a great way to celebrate the week after your birthday. Good luck with it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds cool, Sue!

I got 7 Yos right, but I feel I could have done better. The CEO came and walked behind me in the middle of it so I was thrown off.

Gud, does your wife get any mental health support? I mean, I'm a big fan of watching tv all weekend, but I think it's a little different with other people in your household and work to get done.

I got 7, too. I'm annoyed with myself for missing the Washington one.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I missed both of the yos from Right hand man, I think! I am annoyed, too. Also, the first one I got right and I didn't even hear it!

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

Oooh. I hope that is a fun experience, Sue! It's exciting from here.

Still do not need an alibi, work is still a flaming mess. So we'll see how that goes. Oh, hey, while I wasn't hitting post a thing got resolved! One out of I've-lost-count, but still.

I only got 6 yos!

This is hard to parse out of context.

Do you guys think someone should be a Dean of something or for something? All of our Deans have titles like "Dean for Student Affairs" and I think it should be "Dean of Student Affairs". We also use "to" for Administrative Assistants. So I am Administrative Assistant to the XXXXXXXX Program. I think it is weird and off-putting. My boss is the Director of Program XXXXXXX. and our Dean is the Dean for XXXXXXXX.

"Dean of..." sounds better, but I don't think "Dean for..." would throw me if I heard it without someone pointing it out.

I'm thinking Dean is equivalent to Vice-President, so I like the "of" option. Admin works with "to", because you're an assistant to someone. If a Dean is a Dean "for" something, what is the action of Deaning?

I have known people in a position called Dean of Students in primary and secondary schools, but everything at colleges looks like it's "for." At least it is at Harvard Law School, which is the first thing google showed me when I finally typed "dean" and not "dead."
