I tried to learn your language, but fell asleep half undressed

1. It is Ada Lovelace Day. I hope someone on this friendlist is writing a poem for women in science, because I am sufficiently tired right now I don't think it's going to be me.

2. EAT A CALZONE FOR RADIO. We are heading over for this very purpose in about half an hour.

3. Etruscan daily life at the Musée Maillol. Plane ticket, please.

I just had blood drawn by a very affable phlebotomist with great conversational patter. Unfortunately, also with a venipuncture technique most charitably described as "hunt and peck." My elbow hurts.

1) I didn't even remember it was Ada Lovelace Day because work has eaten all of my brain and left me unable to think clearly about anything except clocks. Thank you for the reminder!

2) I will eat a calzone for radio, but not until 8:30 because that's when my piano lesson ends.

Thank you for the reminder!

Welcome! No thanks whatsoever to Google for not making a doodle for it.

Have both an excellent lesson and calzone! I hope the rest of your day is very clock-free.

Affable patter is great, but swift and sure vein discovery and blood removal is better, if blood removal is what's needed.

I WOULD LOVE TO EAT A CALZONE FOR RADIO.

Yeah, I'll take taciturn over GIANT BRUISES IN THE CROOK OF MY ARM any day.

I'll tell you when we schedule the next fundraiser! You can come out to Boston and eat a calzone and talk about western Massachusetts with derspatchel!

I have a firm three-sticks-and-I-do-it-myself policy. Phlebotomy is not for the waffly-minded.

Sadly, my phlebotomy skills are nonexistent to self-injurious; I just know it.

Darn it, forgot to tape up 2DGoggles Episode 1 around the school *again*.

(Also didn't have time to talk about the Etruscans. Ran out of time before I got to Diocletian, in fact.)

(Were you trying to do all Rome in a day?)

I was trying to do all of Rome and early Christianity in a day. Welcome to World History.

all of Rome and early Christianity

That blows Pan statues.

Ow. Phleobotomy requires such a skillset to be any good. By rights, they should make twice what they do, and have some sort of long apprenticeship.

Almost everybody should make twice what they do. Except for the people who are already making more than they should. LARGE SWATHES OF OUR GOVERNMENT AND BUSINESS SECTOR I AM LOOKING EXTREMELY HARD AT YOU.
