I just sent out an email to people in my office about something that they were supposed to turn in to me by the end of the first week in November.
Of course, today is the last day of the first week of November but apparently my supervisor is getting a million complaints about people not knowing when the deadline was - even though the initial email I sent about this matter said that I needed it by the end of the first week in November.
And even if you don't come into the office today you were no doubt here Thursday, Wednesday, Tuesday or Monday - all days in the first week in November.
I am posting this here so I don't give in to the impulse to post it to my department and get my self in further hot water.
(My supervisor asked me who told me to send that email - I was under the impression that by giving me the task of gathering up this stuff I was granted permission to email as needed. So annoying.)
I don't even wear wrap dresses or skirts because they make me so nervous. But saris are so pretty.
I've worn saris twice now. The time I was wrapped by an actual Indian person (as opposed to Emily and me) I never felt exposed or even potentially exposed at all. It's far more comfortable in that regard than a wrap skirt.
You know, cupcakes are awesome. You know what'd be even more awesome? Cupcakes with little cupcakes on top!

The saris are super comfortable, but the underskirt and half shirt are thin and your midriff really is exposed. I'll wear a salwar kameez today instead.
Those are really adorable. I want one.
The parents and teachers association of my old high school once put on a fashion show including saris. My mother was prevented from wearing one (by one of her best friends) on the grounds that they "wanted to show that white women could wear them too".
But he got *so* many women reassuring him of his sensitivity, that maybe he was doing it right...
I roll my eyes forever. Goddamn Sensitive Men (tm).
Is also Guy Fawkes Day!
It is on my list of things to do in life to be in India during Holi. It looks EPIC.
If we'd missed our November deadline due to visa stuff, we were going to try for Holi. As it is we'll make the camel fair in Jaipur. (5 days OMG!!!)
I would've worn my Indian shirt today, but it's cold.
