Not-a-Yom-Tov Thursday Rambly Bits
Oct. 11th, 2007 01:14 pm-- It's so weird being in the office on a Thursday. I'm just saying.
-- I'm very bad at not working while eating lunch at my desk. I have to get better about that.
-- Apples in New England in the fall are wonderful. ::CRUNCH::
-- This weekend we've got a problem: we've got baseball in Boston in October, but it's the week of Parshat Noach (the week in which we read the Torah portion about the story of Noah), and it almost always rains for Parshat Noach.
-- At Young Israel on Yom Kippur, people were asking me, "So... how's your planet?" It's been a year since the article, but people still ask.
-- Note to chick-what-packed-our-leftovers: writing "chicken" on the top of the carryout container as an identifier of the contents is not so helpful when both of us had chicken leftovers.
-- I work well with deadlines. Really I do. But do I really need *three* between 12 October and 24 October? I think not. And that's just my work-work deadlines. Freelance deadlines are an entirely different animal altogether ("They're an entirely different animal.")
-- In the end, I *did* end up getting the Nine action figure. He's standing next to Ten, with Jack on Ten's other side (and, as it happens, Daniel Jackson standing behind them holding a zat gun).
-- What does it mean when someone writes something one way in a manuscript and then votes the opposite way in my polls?
-- I'm knitting another Dalek. This one will be beige with black Dalek bumps.
-- Is a Dalek bump anything like the Colbert bump?
-- I'm pondering doing an Erev Shabbat Jewish Blogging post about the difference between work and melacha (the categories of "work" disallowed on Shabbat).
