If you want to shout devastating but technically non-threatening things at ICE, you can say, "you look like your mom chose shitty men to be your step dads." Or "you look like your dad always had an excuse for missing your birthday."

Found on Mastodon. This cartoon pretty much sizes up the #GreenlandTariffs situation. (Wish I could give credit to the artist.)

First day of 19th grade! Tonight is the first session of my first MBA class. I’m nervous but I’m doing the thing. Go me!

It’s been a smidge over 25 years since I finished my last graduate degree and I’m way beyond rusty leading up to my new masters degree program. Aaaaaaaaaaaah…

T-minus 24 hours and 21 minutes until my very first MBA class. I’m a little bit nervous but am keeping a positive trying to stay positive. I’ll keep repeating that I’ll be fine and perhaps that’ll be true.

Yes, person who administered my shingles vaccine today: the shingles vaccine DID make my arm hurt over the next few hours. Ow ow ow.
That being said: I’d rather my arm hurt for a few hours than potentially get shingles. Shingles doesn’t play around.

I’m attending a library conference today and super excited for the experience. It’ll be other academic library folk from my region, discussing topics of interest. It’s the first library conference that I’m attending in [thinks] 13 years and I’m so grateful to get to do so. Library folks assemble! 🙂

Tonight: black eyed peas and cornbread, prosecco, maybe popcorn, maybe some Lake Champlain chocolate, and the series finale of Stranger Things. Sounds like a happy new year to me. 🙂

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Raise your hand if you left 90% of your kids’ Christmas presents and all their stocking stuffers in your present hiding place 300 miles (including a ferry ride) away and realized as such at 9:45 PM on Christmas Eve.

In other news: I just submitted a decently major annual report to my management that’s the equivalent of the corporate world‘s annual review. I’m confident in what I wrote, but it is still a little bit nerve-racking.

We’ve reached the time on campus where the dining options have reduced to a shop selling premade sandwiches and salads and a Starbucks. Note to self: bring lunch for the rest of the week.

Working on both my first year tenure review report as well as finalizing my very first academic CV this afternoon. Fun times.

Sitting here and suspecting that I have a lot more holiday prep to do for the date I’m at. The Hanukkah and Christmas presents don’t get automatically bought with the act of my writing them down. The Christmas tree and menorah don’t get set up if they’re still in the attic. 🫠

A coffee incident with my work laptop meant that I handed my old work laptop in and received a new one in return on Friday, then discovered this morning (Mon) that I’d forgotten to take my wireless mouse transponder from the old laptop. Contacted IT and they still had it. One okay thing, at least.

I’ve been totally demoralized by my probable failure of my MBA prequalification class’s final exam. Of COURSE it’s the perfect time to continue working on my first year tenure review report! 🫠
