Someone is playing reveille behind Wescoe. Badly. I'm surprised the folks down in the military science building (down the hill a bit and to the right) haven't come storming up to demand he put a sock in it.

I'm so pleased that I got to meet Steven Brust last night! Thanks to starstraf for bringing him out. He's absolutely charming and so personable. I very much enjoyed spending time with him. I can't help but like someone who so congenially admits he's a selfish, arrogant bastard.

Forgot to mention, mesniu dropped by my office yesterday to say hello. Very sweet of him. I'm sure everyone knows how much I appreciate having an excuse to escape my desk for even a few minutes.

Hm. You know, this doesn't sound too bad: ( My LJ Prison )

Here's mine:

i can't believe how much time i wasted on this. let's try to do better next year. We'll see where I am in a week. So like I said before karma has been an interesting bed fellow lately. I don't particularly regret the fact that I am a COLOSSAL geek, but still

*blink* *blink*

And another typical situation at my job:

Longtime readers might recall back in January when I had to have my machine "upgraded" cough to XP so I could install MS Access on my computer. I was supposed to use Access to make a database of all our grad students, addresses, emails, and current enrollment information. I'll spare you all a rehashing of those events, suffice to say: It Did Not Go Well. But here it is, several months later. Add/Drop is over and I'm about one-third finished with entering the students' data.

But wait for it. Oh! I don't think we need that information after all, Chernobyl. It seems nobody else is interested in working with this database. Since you're going to be the only one who uses it and you already have access to all this information through Peoplesoft, well, there's really no point, is there?

Well. At least I don't have to finish the remaining 60 odd student entries. Silver linings and all. I guess this frees up my days to work on the CSSF website for mckitterick.
