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.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Right? It just...looks right. The lower case g is the traditional typeface g, rather than the arial or helvetica g. It's not as round as other sans serifs, but it's not as skinny as arial, either. I just love it. It's easy to read, uncomplicated, simple.

I've got my custom CSS here set to it!
Scrivener is set to Courier, but that's because it's better for me for writing. All typewritery.

My work email default is Calibri. It's a good, workhorse of a font.
I was at a museum exhibition last week where the display text was almost, but not quite Gil Sans. I have nothing against Gil Sans at all, but the display font was so close that I kept looking for those funky "p"s in the italic bits, and they weren't there. It was distracting.

Kat, I just signed up for The Molly Weasley Ugly Jumper Run, so thanks for the pointer to the Hogwarts Running Club.
YAY! Katie and I are signed up. So excited!

I have a mini font fan in my house - in 4th grade Casper was writing an essay and started raving about Apple Chancery. (If this child does not end up in a design field I will eat my hat.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I signed up for the ugly sweater run too! I think I may do it early though, just because I have a 5k scheduled for Feb already but not January
