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!
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

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.

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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)

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.

Jessica I always find shoes the one place I have trouble with minimalist packing. I always want more pairs than I should. And often bring more pairs than I should. But women's shoes are hard!

Packing shoes is hard! Even if you can minimize how many you need, they take up so much space. Which is why I end up wearing my bulkiest shoes on the plane - not great for getting through security, but otherwise not too bad.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
That would be the smart thing to do but also the least comfortable, and I don't want to be That Guy who takes their shoes off on the plane.

Yeah, I'm usually in, like, hiking boots or something so if I just loosen the laces they are actually pretty comfortable. I also don't fly very often, so it's not like I do this a lot.

Today is just crazy. My son said something to my wife that made her all upset so now she's sort of given up on him and left everything to me. She also seems to have decided not to have any involvement in getting my daughter's new car, leaving that to me. Meanwhile, I'm super busy at work. Today would be a good day to start a meth habit. Better yet, I'm going to have no time for her and she'll take that as further evidence that I don't care about her, even though it's just that I have too many fucking things to do at once.
