    I used a bone saw to cut through a mandible in anatomy lab today.

    And the foot has still not been located.

    Goddamnit, I just mass-mailed out an epic Please Unfuck Thyself email to several dozen employees.

    Autocorrect totally bombed me in the opening sentence. Avoidable somehow become unavoidable.

    Oh well. They're not going to read it until somebody gets fired.

    I now have over 15 hours' worth of Celtic music on my iPod.

    I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

    Rule No. 1 when meeting with me in my office and choosing to stand over my shoulder while I work: keep your fucking greasy fingers off of my screen. Bitch.

    Spent a few hours at the ER w/ my daughter last night. She was having contractions, she's only 23 weeks pregnant....scary night, turned out to be no big deal, UTI's apparently can cause this.

    I think I should be allowed to sit in on the new science instructor candidate interviews. I could give valuable input. 1) If he's articulate and understands the importance of working with donors to further his work....Hire him. 2) If he's cute....Hire him. I don't think I am asking too much.

    You cannot change avatars while on an iPad. I use an iPad for 99% of my computing needs. I guess this will have to be one of those 1% times... :confused:

    Linked in to the rescue. Frustrating that I spent nearly a week looking for this chick on various university directory searches with the wrong name spelling. I typed the wrong spelling into Linked in, it found her in a heartbeat. Some search algorithms are better than others.

    ZS, it's a proven fact that attractive professors are better-liked by their students.

    That would be a good thing. De Dannan is one of my favourite groups ever and I like that whole area of music.

    I don't believe I've heard of them. Thanks for the tip.

    I spent much of my youth listening to the likes of Clannad, Altan, and any recording of a Turlough O'Carolan tune. I still consider O'Carolan my favourite composer of any period---such hauntingly beautiful music. While I enjoy the harp recordings, I also enjoy guitar, piano, and wind arrangements immensely. It shows the versatility of both the music and the musicians.

    I'm only now revisiting my love of this genre after many years ignoring it. Don't ask me why.

    I'm also beginning to learn some Celtic tunes on guitar, which is a big part of it.

    1. Dehydration can also cause contractions.
    2. Cute professors should always be hired.
    3. Celtic music is awesome... especially Seven Nations and Rathkeltair(e).
    4. I can STILL spell with lots of tequila in my system... why can't my coworkers with none?
    5. Please tell me there were no spelling errors in the above post....
