Breakfast this morning would have been better if we had not cut the strawberries with the knife that was used to chop onions.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I mean, some people would probably find that combination yummy.
Not me though.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
There is an Italian salad with both strawberries and onions, but you don't want to have sneaky cross flavors.
And now I miss Strega. I still can't believe she's gone.
It's boggling.
Take care of yourself, Todd! Please don't land on your pretty face!

Yikes Toddson! I confess, in your shoes once it became obvious people were deliberately choosing not to help I'd probably have been tempted to take advantage of the bloody face mask and moan "BRAIIIIINS!"
It seems like surprise strawberries in something onion-based would be a nice layering of flavors, but I don't think it works the other way around.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, I've done that, Dana. Not the best.
To be honest, I would hesitate to go help someone up these days. I would get close enough to ask if they were all right, though, I hope.
Y'all, I'm pretty much out of can and I have another 2 hours of work. Just drained.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Me too, -t. This week has been mad and I'm ready to fall asleep on the couch. Whaddya mean two more hours of work?

It's past 10pm here on a Friday night. I spent the better part of the last 90 minutes trying to verify some statistics for a policy class (on a subject I now find so very boring, after researching it since October). I eventually gave and asked the person who wrote the slide I wanted to elaborate on where he got the figures from, because they're not in the sources he mentioned.
The isolation, the analysis process, and the time of day almost make me miss dating.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I should basically be done with working for the week, except my big boss is all het up about something I might be able to do something about, if other people are available, but then again maybe not, and who knows who is available at this point!

WAHHHH I am having to read OSHA documents to determine how we handle things if they re-open offices and we want people to wear masks.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The CT Board of Regents has announced that almost all college summer courses will be online. For lab courses, like the one I'm scheduled to teach (maybe), the plan is to separate the labs from the lecture portions of the course, and open the buildings in August to do the labs all in a bunch, regardless of when the lecture was taught. Separate grades will be given for the two portions (again maybe, they aren't being very clear on that). They are also unclear as to which lab courses this would actually apply to, since they keep talking about upper level labs and in the same paragraph mention doing demos for intro labs instead, much like we're doing now.
So right now I have no idea if I'm teaching this summer (registration is open, but the response hasn't exactly been brisk), or when I'm teaching if the course does run, or even where I'd be teaching. Interestng times.
