Smarmy emcee: "A bachelorette!...do you have a job, love?"
Me: "Yes! I'm an archivist!"
Emcee: "And what do you archive?"
Me: "Holocaust testimonies!"
And that, my friends, is how I made a burlesque show interlude awkward.
I need to make a Github repo titled "Janky Jank" for the stuff I make for absolutely, stupidly bonkers workarounds.
I should not put songs from musicals on my playlists because it's taking every bit of self-control to not dramatically sing along while students are in the office.
Behold. My amazing new Weird Al shirt.
ALT Me looking at the camera. I am wearing a black t-shirt screen printed with a vintage "Weird Al" Yankovic logo from his first album, Weird Al playing on the accordion, and the phrase "I'll Be Mellow When I'm Dead."

I love how no matter where and how long I travel for, I use the same carryon rollerboard and it's always packed to the gills.
Me: "Wow, I had a stressful day, it sucked."

Gentleman: "Hey, my coworkers told me to bring this flan home, you want it?"
There is at least one deity and my husband with flan is one the purest expressions of their blessings.
One more work day tomorrow and then I prep for AJS, actually go to AJS (potential audience plants: I am presenting on the 18th!), and then collapse until the new year.
I'm the only witch allowed in the library, thank you.

Almost an hour later, it finally finished. I did swing by the book store for a couple of presents while I was waiting, so at least there's that.
