sasha_feather1. I've been really stressing about money (btw thank you to those of you who bought my gift cards); but my family has been quietly helping me out without me even having to ask. This is really humbling. Also, it's weird to think about how I was making it before the Scott Walker pay cut to state workers. And now, it's harder.
2. I went to Cheers with Queers last night and had a great time.
3. I wore my really awesome wool suit today.
4. I am finished doing recruitment and enrollment for my study at work!! \o/
5. A few days this week I've seen my friend Kendra at the dog park which was really fun. I know her from outside the dog park, and she just got a dog.
6. I really enjoy my Thursday lunches withjesse_the_k. This week we watched a film called "Wretches and Jabberers", which is about two men with autism who are activists. They travel around the world and meet other people like themselves. In the movie, they go to Sri Lanka, Japan, and Finland. I really enjoyed and recommend this film.
7. There was a good seminar today that I got to attend most of; about diagnosing disease before and after death (ie at autopsy). It was really interesting, and the pathologist who was presenting is a bit of a fuss pot and makes everyone laugh. For instance his power point appeared pink, and he complained, "Whoever is in charge, I am not going to be happy here, because the words are supposed to be white not purple!" My boss tried to soothe him, "It'll be all right," to which he responded crankily, "For you maybe but not for me!" (cue laughter). They figured out the color problem was due to a bad connection, so then the director of the whole program sat there with his hand holding the connection down, to keep the wires tight. Also he said the first case's name, which is a big no-no, and when the director chided him, "no names!", he sighed and said, "OK, this person is [PATHOLOGIST]!", saying his own name.
8. I got a free cookie at the seminar.

I think 4 and 5 are related: you are an excellent recruiter. You've demonstrated the wisdom and joy of dog ownership to Kendra. So, what kind of dog?
It was lovely watching that movie together, and I keep thinking about it. HULU's showing it for free right now

I'm glad that the pathologist was open to laughter! Learn anything particularly weird/cool re: autopsy?
