Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm trying to find people to cover my classes on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. I'm not having much luck. This is such a pain.

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

I'm sorry to hear that, Hil. Do you get no help with that?

Well, I sent out two emails to the people who are teaching the same class as I am, and one person said that she could take some of the sections, but she can't take all of them. (I probably need at least two people, but preferably three -- there's just no way that one person could cover all of my sections and also teach all of her own sections.) And one other Jewish person told me that I should have scheduled my sections better so that I wouldn't have this issue, which was less than helpful. If I don't find another couple people in the next day or two, I'll ask the course coordinator who else I should ask.

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

I hope you can get the schedule worked out soon, Hil.

One person at my office was home with the flu today. Another was out with strep throat. I feel like sickness is stalking the cube farm.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Oh, goody, the stiff neck/cracking jaw(TMJ flareup)/tight shoulders combo is back...

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh Maria, that's no fair. You shouldn't have to clean up other people's shit in every dang arena of your life!

Because books.

Pinned tabs in Chrome? What's this now?

So they, like, stay put. You have to unpin them before you can close them, so accidentally closing them is harder. And they'll reopen next time you open Chrome. i think you just right-click the tab and it's one of the options? I'm not on Chrome right now to check.

I'm so tired. Too many meetings today, I'm gonna blame that. And yet, kinda want to open a bottle of red to have with my steak for dinner. Because I can.

I'm getting really tired of putting out fires started by other people. I was supposed to file a problem report that will basically become a major project that dev was supposed to deliver but punted because resources, but now it's ops resources and we don't have enough and are hobbled and so we gotta push back, except I spent all day chasing an urgent problem created by dev and not caught by test because...resources.

And I still haven't been able to reach the roofer or schedule a vet appt.

Also, managed lap average & median in the pool I haven't seen since just before Australia trip nov '12. I don't really fully understand, but I'll take it. Loose, maybe. And maybe Druid wasn't shorter...
