Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm guessing if she had been wildly unstable, it wouldn't have gotten to that meeting, but I don't know how academia works -- if you're on the tenure track, do you automatically stay there?

It was, I mean was it necessary to say that we have 10 provinces?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

In the "does it matter?" sense, or in the "wouldn't Americans already know that?" sense? Because the answers are very different.

From what I've seen, most people who are hired in a tenure-track job will stay in that job until tenure review, unless they do something really horrible.

In news of people are stupid, I barely stopped a woman from backing her car over a blind man tonight on the way home from work. Jesus.

BWAHAHAHAHAAHAH! Oh, that's good. I needed that.

DC people: anybody know what the snow situation on the roads is in the area around National Airport? Someone I know is driving in tomorrow and staying at a hotel near there and wants to know what to expect.

Yeah, sorry, I'm relatively Canada-aware, and I couldn't have told you there are 10 provinces off-hand.
