Steph, I thought of you because I was extremely.....well, let me you what happened. I have a colleague who picks nits in the most intense ways. She has told her students that she doesn't want them to turn in papers with Times New Roman because it's boring and lazy. So one of my advisory kids was printing a paper for this teacher's class in my room. When I pulled it off the printer, I said, "What is up with this font?!" She explained. So then I told her use Comic Sans for the paper. Or Papyrus. She chose Comic Sans and I laughed.

She chose Comic Sans and I laughed.

You know what, though? That teacher DESERVES Comic Sans.

Gud, please be easier on yourself. I am the bil payer, and yes I miss stuff. Partly because I had a sad useless plan that didn't work. DH doesn't like to pay bills - so I made a new system that we both have to follow - where bills go - how to keep them visible , so at the very least he can see what needs to be paid tool

have her help you find the solution - so it can not be just your fault ( there are two adults in your family)

But you have to forgive yourself for not being perfect. Oddly, there are a few things in this life more important than paying a bill.

to quote a friend "if money fixes something , it isn't a problem" ( getting money might be an issue, but obviously not in this case.

Insurance bills and phone bills are my problem bills

I love Times New Roman, it's classy, professional, the words look like they're worthy of that little bit of extra effort that was taken. Like words that should be given some respect. Not fashionable, but enduring.

My favorite font is Calibri, and after that, Arial. My eyes aren't as sharp as I could wish, and if I can go sans serif, things are clearer and easier for me to read.

Times New Roman isn't as immediately readable for me.

Kat, I just signed up for The Molly Weasley Ugly Jumper Run, so thanks for the pointer to the Hogwarts Running Club.

I was thinking of doing that, too! I have it open in another tab.

That sounds like something I might need to sign up for too

I have started making my handouts for class in either Helvetica or Arial, both of which must probably rival Times New Roman for both boring AND readability. But since readability is more important to me I really don't care.

I've got to stop making mistakes.

Dude. Achievable goals. That is not one.

Home from the company party. Didn't win anything in the raffles, meal was pretty good. I'm kind of weirdly peeved that my boss got an award - seems like she's being rewarded for prioritizing her direct reports below her projects. For all I know that's legitimately what went down, but as her sometimes neglected direct report it rankles. On the whole, meh.

But three-day weekend, so that's good.
