Great guns

So, that little programming tweak I mentioned yesterday? Made this aspect of my job so much easier. Wow. Like, really really wow. Damn, I shoulda asked for it earlier, but I didn't even think about the possibility until yesterday. Oh the joys of learning a new process.

I did not punch things yesterday (holy shit I was wiped out when I got home), so I really really seriously gotta get with the program and punch tonight. As soon as I get home. Before I open the wine. Yeah. That's...pretty crucial, that part.

And now I'm off to plead with U of Illinois at Chicago to see if they'll accept this letter of rec from one of our professors (for one of our current students) that got returned to us due to a smudged address. Cross your fingers for me. I hope they'll take a scanned PDF of the letter. Their deadline was January 1.

Edit: Well crap. I forgot tonight is Hippie Drum Circle, and we're definitely on for the January 13 gig, so I can't skip practice tonight. PUNCHING FAIL.

I'm working for them before they're even here

Tuesday's post about my work e-mail inbox? It's all made worthwhile when I get stuff like this:

"Thank you for working so hard to make sure my application is complete. Already, KU has gone above and beyond for me, and I cannot tell you how eagerly I will await a response to my application. I cannot thank you enough."

Yay!
