Asking for trouble...
Never mind he has two water bowls...Max decides drinking out of the bowl in the sink (probably my dirty cereal bowl) is more to his liking.

End of the semester and summer plans
This past week was the last full week of the semester for me in regard to teaching. My students still have one final lab abstract to turn in during the coming week, and I have stated I will not accept them via email, so it will be interesting to see who actually shows up. I also have two students coming by this coming week because they want me to ( Read more... ) -
Finally!!
Just got a call from my lender. My loan funded. Now all I have to do is sign the paperwork. -
This is ridiculous!!
I just found out my re-fi will not close until April 30th. WTF?! I was originally promised Feb 27th, informed on the 24th that the loan to value ratio was off by a fraction - $112 to be precise. Finally told me in March that I should pay down the principal - which took lots of screwing around with my current lender, then told the re-fi would not ( Read more... ) -
One piece of good news and a sigh of relief
I found out today I will be TAing one session this summer - the same class I taught last summer. Hopefully I can re-use my quizzes and tests. I'll be teaching for five weeks starting July 6th. I have to teach three labs a week (T, W, Th), plus proctor exams. I was a little nervous because there were a limited number of slots and a lot of people ( Read more... ) -
Not too bad for a morning's work and economic indicators
Garage sale this morning, which unfortunately, began way too early - like 7AM. Which meant setting up around 6:15 because the hard-core budget hunters are usually out early. This year they weren't. Sold maybe a third of my stuff and the things my parents contributed. Not many people came by, there was some bad haggling (offering $1 for ( Read more... ) -
And the re-fi drags on
Despite six weeks and multiple phone calls, my home mortgage re-fi did not go through last Friday like originally promised. Luckily I haven't been turned down, underwriting is still 'reviewing.' I went off to Bedford and London thinking I wouldn't have to make a mortgage payment in March and could use that money to finish paying for my trip. ( Read more... ) -
Just a teaser from Chevron 7.2... Joe and Jason
This was from the start of their talks on Saturday. Please do not snurch without crediting me.

There's no place like home, but there's no Joe
I'm slowly recovering fro London and Chevron. I had a blast, but I also appreciate my own bed (and my house feels huge after almost a week of hotel rooms).
Hopefully I can start writing up the con (like there aren't already a bunch of reports) and sorting through pics. Some stuff will be f-locked, however, due to private or personal nature. -
I am in London!
Well, I am in London and doing pretty well considering I got no sleep on the flight from LAX. I did splurge and get a day pass to the Air New Zealand's first class lounge especially when I heard the flight would be packed and I had several hours to kill in the airport. Lots of food and a really good cappuccino machine ( Read more... )
