Not sure where pixy landed but if we are voting on things, I think it's a landslide that she isn't allowed to step down.
As far as I can tell, Lys isn't and won't be banned. The mods don't feel that she's done anything truly ban-worthy and that it's somewhat nebulous to ban regs because it becomes a slippery slope? I guess? I hate slippery slope arguments though. Not that this is the thread for my exposition but gay marriage opponents LOVE themselves some slippery slope arguments.
Y4M finds us groupthinky. I made an array of bitchfaces at that.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."
I'm required to do a practicum for my program. I met with the director yesterday and it was fucking awesome. She's a JD too who entered the field later in life and we saw eye to eye on soooooo much stuff. Also, because I'm older and already a lawyer, I get to do stuff that others wouldn't get to do.
Not cool, though? Seven of the ethics conferences I have to attend begin before 7:30 am. Do these people not have children? How do they get them to school?
Seven conferences? Good grief, and yes, who starts before 7:30. Is that just check-in and they start at say 8:30 or 9? If not, that's crazy talk. The only time I've seen conferences start that early, is when the vendors were doing special breakfast's and such.

H gave me an early Christmas present yesterday: a Martin OM-21 guitar (if you don't know much about guitars, Martins are really nice ones). It's perfect for finger style playing!
My ILs are coming over tomorrow, which means I need to clean tonight. Boo.
We voted to keep lys on the island because apparently banning is worthless. And apparently this upheaval caused a rip in the fabric of space/time and now we have Zoe back like she hasn't been gone at all.
And then everyone drank from their respective lady glasses of win.
Reading the compliments thread has me determined to post more. I read everything but don't post often enough. I was in the MUT for awhile and started to feel like I belonged but then got way behind on that and feel weird jumping backing in. I'm in a weird emotional place today. I think I'm going to go scrub the kitchen. :-p
I was supposed to proctor an exam first thing Monday, and it was cancelled. I have 4 extra hours of work time back, whee. Am also in this limbo mode of 'do I prep things for leaving this job to somewhere else or just plug along as normal' for the next week.
I'm also panicking a bit about how to handle our 1-car commute if I do get the new job and have to do the formal campus schedule (one of the downsides if I get it), since we're not ready Right Now for a 2nd car yet, though the pay increase would make it possible in a few months. Was looking at cars.com and someone listed a 1993 Chrysler LeBaron with 154K miles on it for $4,000. Bwahahahaha.
ETA: I also stayed out of the fray with the Lys situation. While I do show up here fairly regularly at this point, I know I'm not one of the 'real' posters at the center of this group. I didn't even know there was a definite FB group until yesterday...
I have a paid day to volunteer before 1/1, and I'm trying like hell to figure out where. I pinged my kids' school, but for some reason that feels like a cop-out (there are TONS of volunteers there already). I'd like to reach beyond my circles, KWIM?

Check out volunteer.match dot org. That's awesome you get a paid day to volunteer.

They're ethics "round tables" to discuss ethical conflicts that have come up in the hospital that week (day). I think they are trying to get them done early so a determination can be presented to the patient's doctors before they get started with *their* days so basically the conferences have to take place before the regular work day. Dafuq, man? Maybe we should do them over lunch and present them the FOLLOWING day at start of the work day.
Ah got it. It does seem like your way would be better.
The dog fell off the bed last night. We had an entire king size bed to ourselves. I always sleep on the edge and he decided to get between me and the edge. I swear I didn't push him. I heard his butter butt hit the floor, I called him over, picked him up and I swear he was still asleep because the snoring resumed immediately.

Just jump back in, we won't bite! The only thing that is in danger is your wallet.

My sister called this morning to say that she's going to a recovery center. Thank God for small miracles. I don't think it will be a cure all, but I'm hoping it helps with her addiction. I'm also wondering why they waited so long to clue me in. I feel guilty for being so far down my own hole that I didn't see the pain that was happening with the rest of my family.
I won't be online much during the day. Dept. holiday party is today, and I've got to go around rounding things up for it. Yeehaw!
My stomach surgery was approved by the insurance company, so I'm bout to be able to fit my old, wonderful clothes again and get out of these hoodies! If only orangeblossom hadn't reminded me about superbugs! *shakes fist*

Yay!! Hope it goes well and you have a swift recovery.
Sorry about the reminder. Make sure everyone washes their hands and/or hand sanitizer before touching you. Is it overnight? If so, and you end up with a catheter, have them take it out as soon as medically possible.
I'm helping a co-worker plan a trip to surprise his wife on Christmas. It's making me super jealous, which is ridiculous, since I've been traveling non-stop this year.

My brother has an early 60's Martin with gorgeous tone. He's leaving it to DS someday, which is awesome but pushes all my "why not MEEEEEEEEE, I'm your sister" buttons. Even though I'm only good for 3-chord campfire songs and DS can actually play, so it was a good call.
Congrats on your Christmas present, that sounds amazing!

I'm actually a lawyer now. That's cool. And minutes after I got to work after the swearing in ceremony, I got a call from a client. Woot.
Also, much love to StrawberryBlondie . I'm not sure if I would say I rocked law school, but I had fun and wound up in a job I love. I'm happy to be a part of the lawyer club on here (asdfjklCiceroESFIIOYheyjude @mrsbecky MrsAxillatacosforlife ...are there more??) Thanks for helping me home my argument skills.

I did check that out last night! It seemed so awesome I'm going to share it with our HR peeps so they can let my colleagues use it.
I just ate FOUR bacon, egg, and cheese pretzel sliders. And a Nutella mocha. I hate myself right now. But it was SO GOOD.
Did you make these sliders? I'm deep with the food lust right now.
Nah, I bought them. I was feeling super lazy today but didn't want to make H jealous that I was going out for breakfast, so I had to wait until he left for work to go get them. LOL.
