Well, rats. I applied for a librarian job at the art museum that was advertized in early November. I never heard a peep after the "we got your application" form email from HR. Today the art museum library advertized two part-time, no-benefit, non-librarian jobs, neither of which I am that qualified for (I was pretty qualified for the way the original librarian posting was written.) I guess they changed their minds about what they needed/could afford. (One of the jobs is a library assistant job requiring only a BA for which they would prefer original cataloging experience. Good luck with that.)
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Doggie!
This is the skull of someone's pet dog from more than 30,000 years ago. Found in Czech Republic by archaeologist Mietje Germonpré of Belgium's Museum of Natural History and colleagues, it's one of three canid crania they discovered from the era. The skulls support other recent research suggesting that dogs were domesticated 15,000 years earlier than previously thought. This news is one of Archaeology magazine's "Top 10 Discoveries of 2011."

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
Ooh! I know this one! Hemoglobin! Right?
Righteo. Because it's made of iron, which is where it gets the red coloring (like in rust).
And all the iron in the whole universe came from the core of stars (not our sun, it's too small to support an iron core) that exploded in a supernova extravaganza, spread out through the universe, formed Earth, and now you have stardust pumping through your veins.
I love Sagan.

Oh flea, that sucks! Stupid employers and their cheaposity!

Sweet.
Anyone wanna motivate me? I have three things to do, and then I have to make the transmittal sheets and take them to fedex. And do my timesheet. And put on my out of office. This could all be done by noon (well, maybe not the "take to fedex"). But I am procrastinating like WHOAH. Why, self, why??

My nephew made a gingerbread house. Then he put a gummi bear on a spit in the backyard of the gingerbread house.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
So, this was a morning. My car is under recall and I was lucky enough to get an appointment for an inspection of it this morning. Turns out, it failed said inspection and has been deemed unsafe to drive. The needed parts are on order and won't come in till next week. I am driving to Tennessee tomorrow to spend Christmas with my family and I, of course, do not own another car. Subaru was as nice as could be and gave me a brand spanking new 2012 Outback as a loaner until my car is fixed. Yay!
