'Jaynestown'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Still a work in progress for me, even with the nightly sleep meds. But I'm not AS sleep-deprived as I used to be, so that's kind of nifty.
SO MUCH WORD. But it's getting a wee bit better.
Off to work! Hey, first time in a long that that Friday has MEANT something!!!
beth, glad the new med is working for you!
Suzi, seriously, someone embroidered toilet paper? And people bought it? So very not your market, there.
Timelies, everyone.
My students are doing work today. I'm astounded. Still chatting, of course, which I am 100% OK with, but I feel the need to knock on lots of wood that this trend continues.
Y'know, I appreciate my body's ability to purge the dead things from my lungs and sinuses, but I'm not really 100% on board with 30 minutes of hacking and nose blowing in the morning. Cold is abating, but really? I didn't need to pull that muscle in my back.
This morning one of the world's most annoying professors has called me 3 times from the plane she's on. During this last phone call, which was to tell me to tell another librarian to check their voice mail because she'd left a very important message (I doubt that very much), I could hear her being admonished to put her phone away.
My colleague told me the craziest story yesterday: He had just started a new job here (but had already been an employee in a different division) when he had a planned family vacation. They get back to their hotel one night to find a note that his boss had called and it was an emergency. Needless to say, it was not an emergency. When he got back, he asked how they knew where he was staying, and they had called every hotel in the town they knew he was going to, until they found the right one.
In other awesome-boss news, mine just asked if I knew how to do a mail-merge, so I can help her with her personal Christmas cards. Seriously.
I once had a professor who wanted me to figure out what toy store in London had a toy he'd seen for his kid while wandering around. He couldn't remember exactly where it was, but he thought it was on (some street he named). Oi.
Last night I was watching L&O:UK On Demand and playing online when suddenly the tv and the computer both went out. No Comcast. (I didn't check to see if my phone was still working. . . I assume that it was out too.)
Thank goodness it's back this morning. (Didn't have time to check if internet is working at home.) New Supernatural tonight and I must have my cable tv!
Comcast goes out on me all the time, both internet and TV. It's a big problem.
I haven't had much problem with Comcast, for which I am grateful.

HAHAHAHA! Stab.
