Good one!
Oh, here's an error I can't figure out if I should do anything about: My boss always says the "ladder" when she means the "latter."
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Those words sound the same when I say them without being very conscious of my pronunciation.
Sorry, I mean in writing.
I got basically called out in a meeting the other day for saying "Hinton" with a glottal stop in the middle instead of the nt.
My 30-year class reunion is today, and I just need to remind everyone that I finally get to see the FORBIDDEN FLOORS of the former convent. Wooooo! (Catholic school kids are weird.)
Nice! Enjoy.
I went to Catholic school and did see the nuns quarters, well at least the kitchen and living room type areas. Mostly because they used students to help them clean! All in all I loved my nuns and don't regret any of that experience.
I am, however, skipping the Mass at 3:00 before the tours of the school start. I'm going to slink in at the end for the group photos of each class, and then undoubtedly have the vapors about how much has changed in the past 30 years. (I have this stubborn belief that NOTHING CHANGES once I've left it. This leads to a lot of cognitive dissonance on my part.)
Forbidden floors, woo!
Yeah, I am at the weddings and funerals only point with Mass. Of course, that would be kinda in the nothing changes category, except when I was in Catholic school it was in Latin.
I'm applying to 2 study-away courses (January in Cuba and spring break in DC) and each of them requires a 500-word essay and now I remember how much I hate writing cover letters. What unique attributes do I bring to the program? I'M A FUCKING ADULT AND I WANT TO GO TO CUBA, THAT'S WHAT.
Cannot help with anything cover letter like, but I wanted to thank you, Jessica, for reminding me about the rumble jar. I finally used mine to make coffee and it is very nice indeed.
That might be a unique attribute you bring to a program? Somehow? I am bad at this.
