Airplants. I want them. Especially that Caput-Medusa. Wow.
Interesting (and nice) to know: apparently I am the person to ask when you want something done--and if possible, done immediately. There was an issue yesterday where our new secretary had a question of how to do something bureaucratic. One of the grad students directed her to me, with the basic sentiment "If Lydia can't figure out how to get something done, it can't be done." I might not have mastered the system, but I think I have a firm handle on it. In the past week, I've solved a few problems just by making direct requests to the appropriate people. It's helpful to have friends in the right places, but I think I have those friends because they know I don't take bullshit and I don't give it. Anyway, that's my horn. Toot, toot.
In other news: I desperately want to go home and clean house. Just itching! Argh! Why can't I feel like this when I'm actually at home???
