Well, the good news is that apparently my late application (to replace one of my dissertation advisors who retired this year) is still under consideration. The bad news? The chair spelled my first name wrong on her letter. Not only did I teach there for years, but I have one of the most common French names there is! This can't be a good sign.

I want to mold a clear material in the shape of a cube.
As Strega said, two-part epoxy resin. You can mold it in things like ice cube or candy molds. If you're looking for a larger cube, maybe there's a candle mold that would work?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I was looking at some messenger bags online, I need anew one for my laptop. There's a pretty red one with chinese characters on it, but I'm afraid to buy it because I don't know what it reads.
It could all, "dumb bitch," or "rancid hotdogs" and I wouldn't know. Hm.
I think it's true about the Wednesday thing, sarameg.

Stupid lack of microwave has caused me to order pad thai. Will eat my chicken fettucine alfredo w/ asparagus, tomato, and green onion for dinner, then.

Poor, poor shrift....wait a minute!
Man, I just turned into a festering ball of frustration. It's sad. Stupid holidays.

No, your too tight diamond shoes gave you pad thai!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
At my first job I encountered resistance, but that was aimed at all the women there, not just in IT. Since I left in 1993, I've been pretty free and clear, at least to my face. Worked with, for, and over a number of women during the whole time.
My big issue with the ticketing sites is that they present you with fare results from a specific search, and then tell you after you click through that they aren't available. What the hell is searching supposed to accomplish?
I bitched at Travelocity because of it--they were sending me low-cost ticket notifications, and presenting me with a range of dates I had to winnow down one by one. After about 10 (look at my near-infinite patience) failed attempts, I had to fire off a bitching email.
Their justification was weak and insufficient.

I'm partial to Orbitz because it will search all NYC area airports at once.

sarameg, my sister! I am so there right now! Come, sit, we shall be cranky and frustrated together.
