RBOC: Edition Incoherent...

Today's random bits are sponsored by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, or MBTA.  "The MBTA -- guaranteed to get you where you need to go, precisely when you don't want to get there."  
  • Why oh why, dear MBTA, do you need to take the train, which I'm riding, out of service?  How about that nice, lovely little train right behind us?  No, okay...let me just depart the train, stand out in the cold for 12 minutes, and risk being late to work -- just for fun!
  • Boss #1 and Boss #2 are both in Utah for a conference this entire week; I guess that elevates my status from Boss #3 to Boss #1 (sort of).* This means that I get to open/close Fanny 4 days in a row (woohoo!).
  • Despite a raging snowstorm**, Aloha Mr. Hand went to trivia last night and placed third; this reserves us the final spot in next week's "Tournament of Champions."
  • Tomorrow marks the one-week anniversary of our reduction in cable. The weekend was fine -- we watched most of Battlestar Galatica season 2.0, and generally survived.  This week's been easy, for me at least, because I've been working every flippin' day.    
  • On Monday morning, I turned in my dissertation year fellowship...we're keeping our fingers crossed!  
  • And thanks to Sarah for my blog to anything Aaron Sorkin could have written -- priceless!  
* Some of you, perhaps, will remember my Billy (sort of) sweatshirt from years past...I've been having a wicked sense of nostalgia lately.
** It snowed all of 2 inches; this storm was pretty much a pansy-ass bunch of hassle.
