Good luck with the interview, msbelle!
One of our customers sent an email out to a billion of their vendors and people are Replying-All to it. Kinda want some popcorn
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

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.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Speaking of popcorn, apparently my movie theater popcorn packets were delivered today, so I can properly use the machine I got for free from a neighbor! I wish I didn't have real dinners waiting for me in the fridge right now.

I hope the interview goes well, msbelle!
I'm sorry about the hours cut, askye.
Great news about Tim! I hope his recovery goes well.
Things are fairly quiet in my neck of the woods. I'm getting back into the gym groove and hoping that'll help my sleep schedule. (Which currently sucks—Christmas vacation and then the last weekend, which was a 3-day one for me, made my body think that going to bed at midnight and getting up at 9 am was perfectly doable in the long term. Sadly, that's off by about 3–4 hours).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Love that my psych has moved to a new practice, and so my first visit is billed as a new patient. Which is more expensive.

Our wings are not tired.
Video interview~ma, which should be good because you come across very well in videos!
Dana, seems you could protest that and the office should change it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Laura, I gather it was cold in your area last night: [link]

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
So, the earliest that we thought Tim could be released would be Friday (and even the nurses were skeptical about that yesterday.) But the surgeon saw him today and said he may be discharged tomorrow!

Thrive to spite them
Yay for early Tim Release
Booo for non new patients being charged as new patinets.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Hooray for Tim!
Laura, I gather it was cold in your area last night:
We did not have falling iguanas in Havana, but I did need to put on a light sweater to hang out outside around 11pm Monday night. So you know, I sympathize.
(I got back to NYC yesterday evening and that first blast of 15F air outside JFK royally sucked.)
Sophia, as an older grad student myself, I *SO* relate to your feelings that most of what you are learning is common sense that people should just know. Talking to other students on the Cuba trip I discovered I was the only person in the food policy class last spring who thought it was a pretty straightforward topic. (I also learned that 30 year-olds don't like it when 40 year-olds tell them to stop complaining about "getting older" but I kept doing it anyway.)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
The iguana isn't dead, it's just resting!
That's a tough transition, Jessica. January and Feb are the best time for trips to a warmer climate, but the return can be kind of shocking.
I had one of those "Wow I really do get paid for this!" experiences with my job this afternoon -- driving a bunch of residents over to the Museum of Fine Arts and then gently shepherding them through a couple of galleries that were interesting and fun. My admission paid for, too!
More like actually Work-work: driving the big bus across the traffic minefields of Boston and Cambridge, but that worked out fine, too.
