At least you got it. I just know I'll have to send a nasty letter as followup for the bill I sent a month ago -- the last job I did for that firm, it took about 4 months to get paid.

I put my trash out for collection in black plastic bags, as is the way here in Flint.
Fucking neighbor let his dog out without leash or tether. Dog opened bags and scattered my trash all over the area. I have to go collect and rebag it. Fucking neighbor refuses to accept responsibility, though he broke the law by letting Wulf the Irritable, his Weimaraner, run free.

School starts again in little over a week. Not that I am annoyed to be privileged enough to attend school, but I realize that in the month I had off, I accomplished none of the things I meant to accomplish. Worked a lot, though.

Too much raw onion in lunchtime salad. Blah. Dragon's breath.

Weekend away cancelled. Eyebrows has to work. Server upgrade, among other things.

That reminds me. Bon Appetit this month features a Valentine's Day dinner for two, and one of the courses contains raw red onions. What the hell are they thinking? "Romance Enhancers for Dummies," anyone?

150 abstracts to review by December 7th. I think I'll just throw them in the air and give the first 15 I pick up a mark of 1, the second 15 a mark of 2 and so on.
you mean in your line of work people actually keep to their review deadlines? the 2-3 month decision window on a couple of articles i have out there in the ether ended 2 months ago. still no word. which is an annoyance, since if they get rejected i can expect a similar turnaround from wherever i send them next and then i'll be cutting it very fine come re-appointment time. which will be a bigger annoyance.
month 9, still no sign of land.

I got you beat. I didn't work at all. And didn't accomplish anything (productive).
Oh and I'm probably not teaching film history after all. Which is a bit of a relief since I'm lazy and that's too much like real school compared to film production. But I am teaching one other class, I just don't know which one yet. I'm hoping it's cinematography which I've done before and have the most experience in. Classes start the 23rd.
Never assume animosity when stupidity could be the cause.
Whichever side you're on, the other side doesn't just have bad ideas, they have to be bad people too.
People like her are always scared. It’s a lonely world when you’re just so damned right and everyone else is so stupid. That’s why God made cats.

I'm glad you mentioned this Grant, because I forgot to tell you that the guy with the film history syllabus I mentioned before is still out of the country on sabbatical and won't be back in Michigan till next week. I take it that you no longer want to see the syllabus. Sorry.

No water in my building this morning. Then after two hours, just cold water. Managed to wash my hair by sticking my head under the faucet. Mind-numbingly cold water.

Saucepan. Water. Heat. Check not too hot (important). Wash hair.
