I have blinds, but I have no place to put curtains.
Are the windows cut in enough that you could put up tension rods (if you wanted to)?
I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My townhouse was built in the 1990s and there were only blinds. I hung the curtain rods above the window frames.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I do think there's some danger in complacency if people who don't love Clinton (even as they hate Trump) don't feel like they need to vote -- Brexit, FARC, etc. But not that much danger that he'll actually win, or even come close.
Okay, next thing you're going to tell us is that someone brought puppies for the babies to play with and you all got to snuggle the puppies.
I KNOW, RIGHT?? Sadly, no puppies, and now the babies are gone. That was really an exceptionally charming group of babies.

Wow. I love coming back to work after a long vacation to get a performance review about how my work isn't particularly valued and my projects aren't high profile enough, and do I maybe want to move to another team.
Love. It.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Ah, shrift, that sucks. I'm sorry.
Thank you, Buffistae, for calming my election nerves. The Nate Silver piece saying Trump does have a path to victory gave me a minor panic attack.

I need to save a template for posts about authors that are ridiculous. Then I could just paste it in the posting box and save time.
(This one is traveling for a week and therefore can't review and return his article by this Friday. When I asked if one of his co-authors could review it in his place [this is not an unusual thing], he literally replied with "No. Call me immediately about this." Fuuuuuuuuuck yoooooooooooou. Plus, I have to leave for a doctor's appointment in 15 minutes, so: nooooooooooooooooo. I'm hoping my coordinator [who I forwarded the email to] can call him. She's nicer than I am anyway.)

No, the blinds pretty much fill the space. I've got enough shelves up that the walls don't look so stark, but it's time to get some pictures up. It looks like it's going to have to be nails, the walls are too textured to use the Command strips.

Oh ugh, shrift, that sounds like no fun. At least you had the vacation?!?!?

Another vote in favor of professional management--I put my rent check in the drop box yesterday morning. The check was picked up and was cleared through my bank the same day. No more waiting to see when it clears!
