Luckily Lili was able to pencil me in for a little get together this afternoon. Virtually we've known each other for over a year but I met her for the first time months ago over Thai, and I'm really kicking myself for not hanging out with her more -- she is a delight. :-)

I got first runner up! It was the first time I'd ever entered one of their competitions so I must say I'm pretty pleased.

...with funny captions! Here's my brain-dead Friday effort:
"What do you mean, indoor plumbing won't be invented for another five hundred years? That's bullshit!"
I've pretty much made it through this week by counting down to Friday lunch and it's getting closer.
The rest of the week has been tedious paperwork, more queries, another rejection--ugh--and trying to beat some sense into the new GTA's. And don't even get me started on how stupid all the professors are. It makes me think of Wall-E and all the fat little people being scooted around on their hover chairs, helpless and ignorant.
We have a new professor this year, a freshly minted PhD, and she seems perfectly competent and willing to solve problems on her own. Once she gets tenure, however, she will meet the same fate as the other tenured professors: her arms and legs will turn into useless vestigial limbs and the parts of her brain not occupied by academic papers will atrophy like a raisin.
Oh, Friday lunch, you're only an hour and a half away. I'll be there soon.

]]>I will be making phone calls for the last 4.5 hours of my employment.
Those follow-up follow-ups.
No one will know what I'm talking about again, I'm sure.
And my voice will annoy me.
I finally gave Eric my number last night.
I wonder if he'll use it.
I fell asleep to Obama's speech last night. This infuriates me because I wanted to watch it pretty bad.
Damn sleep deprivation.
I, um, have to read tonight. I have to clean my room tonight. I need to be less of a slacker with my own shit.
I have to learn to say "no" to more than sex. lol.
I still don't want to go to work, despite that fact that it is my last day.
I love The Hills. LOVE IT! It's a drug.
]]>.... one day it'll all make sense.
Then I wrote it down when I should have been writing down other things.
Then I wrote it down here.
One day it'll all make sense.
I flipping hope so.
