Theo - do you have people in Tucson? And are you looking at 3/2s because you want that much space or because that is what tends to be on the market? Have you considered a townhouse or garden style condo where you would be responsible for less upkeep?
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I shall assume you are talking about the actual weather and not my boy's recreational advice.
Both, though!

OTOH, it is a damn shame that telling customers "Everyone has problems, just chill" occasionally is not okay.
I highly recommend an episode of The Truth called "Murder at Cakery Bakery". (I recommend ALL episodes of The Truth really, but this one is specifically relevant to dealing with customers/clients.)
Ugh. Forecast is for 38 degrees (100F) the next three days running. So much for autumn.
We're on a 2-hour snow delay! Wanna trade?

I have some friends in Tucson, and have visited before, so I know a little about the place, and just generally love the scenery and dry dry climate. It's way more liberal than most of AZ, which is also attractive. And has universities and so on, plus neighborhoods where you can walk to the grocery store et al.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Interesting coincidence, bt. The forecast high in Washington, DC today is just one degree off from that. Of course, 37F is a lot colder than 38C.

I just got the best humble brag ever in an email -- the faculty member apologized if she doesn't get back to us today because she's on her way to Birmingham, AL, to give a keynote with John Lewis!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Neat, Jesse!
After a week in which TCG had 3 after work meetings, I'm catching up on TV and magazines while TCG ferries ltc to and from school. Then picking up Thessaly for errands this afternoon.

I have never heard of The Truth before, I will have to seek it out!
That's an excellent humble brag.
Glad to hear that, sj!
Hey, Jesse, you know how we were talking about how short weeks were subjectively longer than 5-day weeks because of teh concentrated workload? I am not finding the converse to be true this week. Just so you know.

Dear self, you do not need to bring more shoes than the number of days you will be traveling.
(But winter + airplane + formal event = THREE SHOE TYPES)

Coding and Sleeping
Hey Theo,
I can send you my current resume if you want. I did some modifications after some recruiter feedback and the revised version seemed to go over well.
