Dagnabbit! Our glow show for New Student Orientation is on Sunday and my LED fireknife has a loose wire. I doubt I'll be able to repair it because (a) I don't really know anything about electronics and (b) the guts are all glued deep inside the thick PVC pipe that makes up the body of the thing.

Confused to receive a "your package is out for delivery" email at 10 PM.

@trinsec I'm counting the classes as meetings.

(I'm exaggerating, of course, but my calendar is a bit frightening.)

@slash A nonpareil critter!

@Pat I think I'm missing a reference here.

Looks like I'll have 8 hours of solid meetings every day this semester, so course prep will happen ... in my sleep?
