I feel badly about how little I pay for insurance ($14/month) except that it used to be free, and we were told the reason we made less money was that we had such great benefits. Then our salaries were frozen for 2 years, we had to start paying for insurance, the tuition benefits regulations became very stringent, we have to pay for parking (more than for insurance in fact).
I have to choose a student worker and I don't want to. They all seem good. I feel pressure to pick a girl who already works in the research department, and worked for me a bit on loan, but she did this weird thing before Christmas where she told me she was to go home after working for me, and she told the other department she was staying late for me.
Man, Perkins, you have so much going on right now. Make sure you take it easy, okay. It's a lot to handle.
Negative dreams last night, the sort where you aren't mad at the insomnia, but you still realise you have to get right back to bed or otherwise...well, there's a bit of otherwise going on. Man, I feel awful.
Gawker posted a picture of the guy who runs Pinkberry, who's been accused of some startling violence (jumping out of his car and beating a homeless man with a tire iron because he was offended by his tattoo), and people are saying the weirdest things about him. At least, I want to believe they're weird. He's a man of average looks, in a picture where he's neither smiling nor frowning. He's wearing a button down shirt that's unbuttoned, no tie, a black suit jacket with grey stripes, and you can just see the tips of his pocket squares.
He looks like a gangster and someone who'd fight Neo in The Matrix. What does that last one even mean? Sure, if he was wearing sunglasses, I could kind of get it, but...

Maybe they only see Asians wearing suits in movies about the asian mafia? Because he looks fairly nondescript to me.,
Perkins, I'm so sorry.
Um, have people seen this video of Benedict Cumberbatch dancing?
Aaaaaaahhhhhh! *flails* Being able to watch that video is already the best thing about working from home today.
Were there Asian agents in The Matrix? I remember Hugo Weaving and random bad guys like the ghost twins fighting Keanu.

Not that I remember. But pretty much any man in a dark suit and sunglasses will look like either a Matrix agent or a Blues Brother, depending on build. But, he isn't wearing sunglasses, so I got nothing.

Now I wanna see a
Matrix / Blues Brothers
crossover movie. Just a bunch of guys in dark suits and sunglasses fighting. And Carrie Fisher with a flamethrower.
where she told me she was to go home after working for me, and she told the other department she was staying late for me.
that seems odd. Less odd than what I thought it was originally - telling each dept. she was working for the other. Still - odd?
