Timelies all!
We are well-stocked with Passover snacks, thanks to Moti's Kosher Mart. I do wish the regular supermarkets had better selections, but it is what is.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

I was dreading next summer, but now it looks like 2020 for JWST launch. It's not great. A couple years of budget limbo with this nightmare admin.

sarameg, I haven't looked at the budget, but many of the articles I've seen assert that the Democrats got increases in science spending over the last few years. Maybe that will help?
I should take a look & see what our budget looks like, but since I don't set any priorities it's kind of pointless.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I don't mind his self-confidence in general, but seriously dude. His inability to recognize that people with way more experience might have a clue is a real handicap.
Argh. Raising same kid over here

His response of course was that he would have a better way because he is always the best wherever he works.
Ouch, that's tough. I've had a few smart kids with this attitude that have worked for me over ht years, and none of them have lasted long. I hope that he eventually gets a clue. As smart as he is, there is simply no substitute for years of experience.

Yes, I have told him a few times that until he figures out that he knows nothing, he knows nothing. I do know, from experience, that we do figure this out eventually. Still, the I Know All and the rest of you are idiots attitude of youth gets real old.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
OK, been at work for an hour. That seems like enough.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Same!

What's the thing about being a kid and thinking your parents know everything, then being a teen and thinking they don't know anything, then growing up and whatever?
