Packaged up presents for the inlaws (most of them) and faced with the possibility of going to the post office, gave up and went to UPS store. In and out in 10 min, no lines. The post office made me wait 40 min to pick up a package that they refused to try to redeliver to my house.
Now I am going to listen to Alice Cooper and Tom Petty and clean the house and eat cookies. F this mess.

Also, I have an idea for the next Chicago thread;
Chicago: The few. The proud. The egg donors.
Re: egg donorshipHave you noticed that the price went up? It used to be five grand, now it's seven. Have you also noticed that the numeral 7 is in bold type on those ads on the train? Have you noticed the smug look on the face of the blond girl on the left who's clearly thinking, "Yeah. I waited to be an egg donor and got two gees more than you did, hasty bitches."

John, Poisoned is a music/file sharing program for the mac. You were probably joking though. This is one of those things you know about and I don't.

I've never heard of Poisoned either.
In other news, I had to fail three students this term! Three! One of them was caught by surprise and tried to challenge me but I confronted him with his work and he (miraculously) realized that someone who completes less than 60% of the work for the class should probably not receive a passing grade. Oh well. Sorry, kid.

a) fact-check biographies on Shakira, Albert Pujols, and maybe Tony Shalhoub,
b) hobnob with work-friends at a potluck that will include my co-worker Laura's delicious southwestern tempeh, and then
c) get drunk on Glogg.
BEST DAY OF WORK EVER

I spent about an hour this morning trying to buy magazines to read on the plan tomorrow but most loop booksellers and newstands don't carry what I want to read. Hmph.

xpost - that waiter worked at Simon's and Svea for awhile and then got fired, I think! Or at least I seem to recall him telling me that. But I was probably drunk, so who knows. His name is Sh@ne.

His name is Sh@ne.
Of course it is.

We went to the library last night to get books for the train. I will be reading about vanilla and a mystery novel involving orchid enthusiasts.
