Aw, Bonnie Franklin died. I used to love One Day at a Time. She was only 69.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Congrats, Suzi!
I associate muffs with riding in sleighs or sledges. Or ice skating, but I think that's from a specific illustration in a children's book. You'd already be wearing gloves, right? Because ladies always wore gloves?
why can't you people read my mind?!?!
My post was in response to
Are you now going to Disney World?
The wanting a cake part was due to me giving up sugar for lent, but then forgetting and having a slice of cake and a shake yesterday. Now my body WANTS ALL OF THE DESSERTS.
yay for the raise, Suzi!
Sending the job~ma to Consuela now.
I find merit review tedious. I submitted my merit review files in October, got my merit review ranking in Nov, but I don't ever find out about my raise until I sign the new contract in July. Universities! Their timescale is not our Earth timescale.
Macy's just sent me an email:
"Time to stock up on your lingerie essentials!"
Hmm. I wonder what...
My post was in response to
Are you now going to Disney World?
I'm jealous!
Tell me that doesn't mean you have to go through all this damn application and interview bs again in April, Consuela. I'm glad your contract got extended, anyway!
Congrats, Suzi!
I am being yanked around by so many cords right now. I feel I'm in a position where if I were canny, I could capitalise on a lot of shit, careerwise.
Hmm...instead I'm the person who gets left off the team invite for the pub goodbye for the departing contractor, and who someone else approaches after the big meeting to look at my doodles closer up. And the CIO was looking right at me for most of it. But she would also have seen me take three pages of notes (aka two and half pages more than anyone else), so I don't feel in any way bad about having drawn her hair.
Well, mostly.
Man, I have such gaps in my cultural awareness
Not knowing Sayers is not a sign of a weak knowledge base. It's pretty niche.
I just sent incompetent developer an email asking her to send replies to my meeting invitations. Seriously, I will never understand you people who think it's not important. How am I supposed to plan without that information?
regarding the Alcott love--do you read the abridged or unabridged? I loved Little Women until I read the unabridged and found myself slogging through all the preaching.
I'd love to hit Disney World - but 4% isn't going to cover that. Bummer! I even have family near there.
I'm going to have the doc check my knee. Today it is just throbbing.
