I had this weird thing growing up where the things I could watch were heavily policed, but I could pretty much read whatever I wanted. My parents were very contradictory in general.

I love how no matter where and how long I travel for, I use the same carryon rollerboard and it's always packed to the gills.

Me: "Wow, I had a stressful day, it sucked." > Gentleman comes home. Gentleman: "Hey, my coworkers told me to bring this flan home, you want it?" There is at least one deity and my husband with flan is one the purest expressions of their blessings.

One more work day tomorrow and then I prep for AJS, actually go to AJS (potential audience plants: I am presenting on the 18th!), and then collapse until the new year.

Almost an hour later, it finally finished. I did swing by the book store for a couple of presents while I was waiting, so at least there's that.

"OK, let's go load up the transcription system with 60 video files!" "Oh, it's 4:40. Hm, maybe a little late to do this." ... "Oh, it's 5:18 and only 34 of the files are uploaded and I have to wait until they're done so I can input final transcription instructions." -_-
