I look more rad than Lutheranism

The rehearsal and wedding went well

I saw some pictures you were tagged in on FB -- that dress looked so good on you!

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

I've been working on getting my classes all set up for the semester. I'm stuck in the middle of ridiculousness with putting captions on my class videos. We all had to take a seminar about online accessibility, which included telling us that all our videos MUST be captioned. And I agree! Videos should be captioned! So, I try to put captions on my videos. It turns out that there's no way for me to access the captioning system unless one of my students has a disability form which specifically requires captions as an accommodation. There are a couple of work-arounds, but they all include downloading and uploading the videos several times each, which I totally don't have time to do when I've got around 10-15 videos per week altogether.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

(well, Gary and I go to work, Mr. S goes to daycare)

Slacker. (Mr. S. Not you and Gary)

Seriously. I can only imagine someone getting your application and going, "wait, we could get her ????"

Right?! I'll bet there was squee-ing.

Skipping more than a bit

Hil, that's frustrating.

Meanwhile, at work: I was assigned cataloging items in Persian and in Judeo-Persian. I know neither. And I have questions.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

In theory, today is the rescheduled machine learning webinar. So far...the webinar has not started.

Ha, my coworker pinged me just as I was about to ping her, since we were both paranoid that something was wrong with our connection. Nope, they were just starting several minutes late.

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

I have my last supply chain mgmt class today and I have actually done the reading! By skipping the, um, 5 sections I managed to get behind, but still, ready for discussion of physical distribution and continuous improvement.

I would say the word Quality has lost all meaning but I'm not altogether certain it had much to begin with.
