Got a call from my boss. The dept election went in my favor, so pending the dean's approval, I'll be Director of the department next year. It'll be a rotating position. AND I'm going to Hawaii in a couple days for a conference. It's been a good week. But that doesn't mean I'm done with grading - nope!

As for everyone! Yay!

Congratulations Burrell! I'm so sorry to hear about your father, Jesse. My sympathies.

Our wings are not tired.

Great news, Burrell!

Delighted with the election news. Roll blue tide.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Right on, Burrell!

As per usual, about half of the candidates I voted for were elected. Though in the case of the mayoral race and a ton of city council members, the majority were democrats anyway, so we're still fairly blue.

All the tax levies for social services were renewed, which makes me happy. If the federal government is trying to screw over people who need help, at least our local government is doing some good.

Oh! This amuses me: apparently my subconscious brain went WAY old school last night, because I had a dream that Clark Gable was flirting with me.

Congratulations, Burrell!

It was nice to wake up to largely good election news this morning.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

My Twitter timeline is just joy, over and over again. It feels so weird.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Burrell, woot!

It was nice to wake up to largely good election news this morning.

It was such an unfamiliar sensation I wasn't sure how to process it, honestly.
