I can do it in seventeen. Do I get the contract?

No TRX this morning for me. I got tangled up in a scrimmage yesterday. Girl cut my feet out from behind me and I fell hard on my side, elbow and cracked my head on the ground. Today, I'm having Flexeril with my coffee and going back to bed until the kids get off the school bus.

I can do it in seventeen. Do I get the contract?

only if you mean minutes

It was a bunch of fancy foreign car enthusiasts, and it sounds like they were having a bit of an unauthorized rally/race. The crash was started when somebody tried to zoom around to the lead in wet conditions and lost control.

So perhaps a moderate amount of schadenfreude would be appropriate?

Our Interim Dean of Research and head of Nursing Research at the Hospital passed away last night (hence the meeting). I had never known her, and only had had one email contact with her, so it was not personally affecting, but a great deal of professors were mentored by her and very close to her. Her administrative assistant was also her nephew, so I am not really sure what that means for him, either.

I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Postal cuts to slow delivery of first-class mail

WASHINGTON (AP) — Facing bankruptcy, the U.S. Postal Service is pushing ahead with unprecedented cuts to first-class mail next spring that will slow delivery and, for the first time in 40 years, eliminate the chance for stamped letters to arrive the next day.

The estimated $3 billion in reductions, to be announced in broader detail on Monday, are part of a wide-ranging effort by the cash-strapped Postal Service to quickly trim costs, seeing no immediate help from Congress.

The changes would provide short-term relief, but ultimately could prove counterproductive, pushing more of America's business onto the Internet. They could slow everything from check payments to Netflix's DVDs-by-mail, add costs to mail-order prescription drugs, and threaten the existence of newspapers and time-sensitive magazines delivered by postal carrier to far-flung suburban and rural communities.

There are reports that they were doing 150 km/h on an S-curve where the limit is 80 km/h. In the rain. So, yeah, little sympathy for them.

And now it won't leave my head.)
