Finding good people is so hard, y'all. Lord have mercy. - Derrick

that's because, outside academia, reference *letters* don't usually happen. i can only get such letters now because i work in academia and they actually know what i'm talking about. - henry

I thought I was already an expert in brunch, but moving to DC has forced me to level up my brunch game. - Derrick

How about flapjacks (the British kind, not the US kind) http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes... They are yummy! Lots of recipes for them around, depending on what you're looking for. - WoH: Professor MOTHRA

I tasted just a piece of it last night when I pulled it out of the oven. I know it's good! - Derrick

Hahaha was this cause of my Disney Spirit Animal quiz? Hahahaha - Shevonne

This is a thing I am struggling with in teaching. I want to take evals and similar feedback seriously, but holy $DEITY I do not even want to READ THE DAMNED THINGS because such a large percentage are so pointlessly nasty and unconstructive, and such a large percentage of the remainder are so disconnected from what an actual human being can realistically accomplish. Days I wonder if students even realize that I am human. - RepoRat

Wondering if anyone has had any success with this method of eating. - Derrick

A PBJ sandwich for breakfast has been serving my skinny daughter well for years. It's quick and easy to make, and high in protein. It's also good for curbing your appetite. Another breakfast food she reaches for on occasion, especially in winter, is slow cooked oatmeal. Stay away from quick oats or the instant stuff in the packets...metabolizes too fast and leaves you hungry shortly after eating it. The longer it takes to cook the oatmeal, the longer you will feel full. Steel cut oats are the best, but cost more than the old fashioned oats. For my hubby, who is an ex-smoker turned major snacker (he never broke the hand-to-mouth habit) and a diabetic (because he damn near ate himself to death), I make sure there are plenty of fresh low carb veggies in the house for him to snack on whenever he wants...cucumbers, lettuce, celery, raw spinach, mushrooms, etc. That way he is consuming something with very few calories/carbs between meals and at night when he's watching tv. He's 5' 2" and used to weigh 220 lbs. Now he's 132 lbs, which is about where he should be, and he dropped that weight rather fast, because he was also eating leaner meats, because of me (I had issues with gall stones and couldn't eat that much fat). - April Russo (FForever!)

And after the class, two students came up to me and wanted to talk about becoming a librarian so we're grabbing coffee next week. "Librarians are so good about thinking on their feet!" - Derrick

Simmons is o_O. I spent several hours last week and this, working on, for example, crosstabbing males, 21-34, who drink Gatorade, and play video games between 11pm and 6am and the likelihood of whether they use iPhone or Android mobile devices. x_x - Derrick

People be testing me! - Derrick

you do what feels right. - holly #ravingfangirl

What Mo said. Yum...biscuits. - Louise &quot;Weezy&quot; Alcorn

Yeah, phone interviews can bring out the rambling because of lack of visual cues. But some are just bad at answering questions! - Kirsten loves you

Skype is huge and awesome; when I initially interviewed here, it was via Skype. Today we were blindsided by the storm so this was a back up figured out just a few hours prior to our first interview. We don't all have our work machines at home with us, others had kids and pets running around that we all couldn't necessarily corral, so this ended up working pretty well, considering we all planned to be in the office today. - Derrick

Better? Worse? I did that a few weeks ago. LOL. - Trish R

I always start laughing because I'm so amazed when I can see things so much more clearly. It's miraculous. - Derrick

Word. - Soup in a TARDIS

Yes. - Marianne

I watch it on my regular Wii because it keeps a better connection to the internet than my Blu-Ray player. - Katie

A lot of my time on Netflix is trying to find something to watch. I like that I can browse for something to watch on the gamepad while something else is on the TV. Then when I'm ready, I'll use the built in TV remote to switch the TV input to the Wii U. - Rodfather

I used my PS3 before since it was my blu ray player but I don't watch a lot of actual discs much any more. - Derrick

And I think that sausage was dodgy. Tossed it. Considering now using bacon w/ tomato AND potato and broccoli (and some cheeses of course). - Derrick

Yeah, well. - Derrick

For example, when I was looking at jobs, I really relished the idea of the cover letter as an opportunity to talk about myself, my background, my experiences and why i wanted the job and what I could bring to the position. It might've spanned a couple pages. I'm seeing half page cover letters that don't really say anything you couldn't deduce from looking at their resume. It's...interesting. - Derrick

Just saw that NMRT Resume Review Service is recruiting for Annual: "volunteer to greet participants, and/or review resumes and cover letters of those who are undergoing a job search in this challenging economic climate." Or, as I'm thinking of it, help cut down on the o_O http://connect.ala.org/user... - Regular Amanda

No question about pancakes. Because pancakes. - Julian

I was actually thinking about making one or the other tonight. After shoveling snow, I'll have earned it. - Katy S

I mostly think monogrammed things are kind of douchey and whatnot, but y'all know I love me some LL Bean, right? So, yeah. Fight me. haha. - Derrick

My mom had a bunch when we were growing up. I think I got nostalgic, but they're great for hauling groceries. - Derrick

You accidentally? - WoH: Professor MOTHRA

haha, 'D' bag. - Derrick

Hrm, I see a lot of my brother and my father in this pic of me. That's...interesting. - Derrick
