Tom, I was really tempted to come to the Ohio stop of Scolapalooza, but my stupid anxiety prevented it.
Awww, it would have been great to see you again! But I also totally understand anxiety getting in the way.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

Hooray for the 21st Century! The reference librarians at the tiny public library in my small rural hometown have an email form right on their website. Which makes immense sense in a rural area, it's much simpler to email the library than schlepping into town. I've emailed them a request for resources on finding land and mineral rights info. Fortunately the documentation on the lease has the tax parcel number and the reference to the deed book location.
(god, I wish I'd had time to take Hubby back there to show him where I came from)

Last night I was reviewing the things I've done at my current job over the last 21 years, and I realized I could add: "Developed custom software to manage final construction of five billion dollar offshore oil rig."
I'd say that's definitely worth including on a resume, Tommy!

I'm really vicariously enjoying the trail of fun Scolapalooza is bringing to Buffistas as Tom makes his way across the country.
Right? That part is almost as good as actually getting see the Scola himself!
Impressive, tommyrot!
Good luck, Connie! That sounds like a big step forward.
I think I just took all my once-a-day meds for the second time today. Oops. Well, probably won't be too bad just this once.

Oops, thanks for the reminder. I did fine with the malaria pills while I was traveling but I am being super crappy about remembering them now. (You take these ones for 7 days following your return. They also have a 30-days-post variety which would give me lots more opportunities to screw up.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy birthday, Tom!
Aw, guinea pigs. Aw, Matilda.
That really is impressive, tommyrot! Definitely goes on the resume!
The conference went well but I'm so tired today I can barely focus. I should've taken the day off.

Glad I could help, brenda. Please take the malaria pills! Forgetting you were potentially exposed and thinking you have the flu when you actually have malaria is very not good, avoid if possible.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I feel like the worst thing Tumblr has done for me is make me impatient with people, say, 22 and under who have stupid opinions.
That said, JESUS some of these young people have stupid opinions.

I do that without Tumblr. Although it doesn't come up as often, I would bet.

Someone please help me to write these interview thank-you notes? I swear these are harder than cover letters! (Compounding the difficulty, these are people I already know since it's an internal transfer. So I can't be too casual, but I also can't be too formal. ARGH STUPID JOBS WHY DO WE EVEN NEED THEM.)
