all the corners of the buildings

My Ultimately Big Boss had one of those Touch Base sort of meetings with me this afternoon - as an abstract concept, the kind of token buzz-word get-together which fills me with a sense of lowering doom. However, my belief in her ultimate support of my academic nature, self-definition and overall happiness has been materially improved by the fact that (a) she informed me upfront that I am pretty much the best possible candidate for this job, and (b) she spent fifteen minutes asking me fascinated questions about fan fiction and encouraging me to babble in a more or less intellectual fashion. This seems promising, not to mention being about a thousand percent improvement on the interest levels of my old department.

Other reasons not to whinge about my job: the view from my window.



While on the subject of pictorial evidence, reasons to wimp out of making dinner for jo's game tomorrow night:



The nice cabinet-maker man has made a fascinating sort of exploded diagram of the kitchen, removing for the purpose the sink, the oven and all actual counter space. The kitchen contents are piled all over the dining-room, where they occasionally slither over on top of the cats. I'm about to go out for take-out.

Saaay... How long have those glass mugs been hanging up there? Is it actually still physically possible to move them?

Hey! Rude man! I'll have you know that, back in the halcyon days of the dishwasher, I used to take them all down every couple of months and run them through the cycle. Given the defunct state of the dishwasher, the answer to your question is "about eight months." They still move fine, although they tend to stick to your fingers.
