Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Wow, new and exciting ways for roommates to fuck with your shit.
Unrelatedly: my office has ants.
I haven't seen any so I'm totally just hearing Archer quotes whenever someone talks about it.

On the flip side, we've got a bunch of new hires in our department, the most recent of whose last names are: Good, Bright, Smart. I'm starting to wonder how our HR group is sourcing these people.
That's hilarious! There's probably a study out there showing they've got better chances or something, too!
I finally heard SOMETHING back on my interview--it was just to say "thanks, we finally finished all the interviews and will discuss internally and get back to everyone in about 2 weeks". Which is better than no. But extends the agony period...

Better than no and better than no word at all. Continued good luck, meara!

There's a French Republic calendar Twitter account. Every day they'll tell you what day it is by their reckoning. And they just kickstarted a print run of the calendar. [link]

All right, most of my moving boxes have found a new home and I have recycled the rest. I only have to get through a very epic day of work tomorrow and then I'm on vacation.
I need to remind myself that sleep deprivation makes everything more awful and that's why going to bed earlier is a great idea.

Sleep is good. Vacation is excellent.
I don't have vacation on the horizon like that, but I have been told there will be cupcakes tomorrow, so that's something. And, of course, more books than I can keep up with coming my way, so I'd better go do what I can to finish up the one I'm in the middle of right now...
