MIRACLE WHIP IS NOT MAYONNAISE. BLASPHEMER.

Miracle Whip is *not* mayonnaise.
Eh, close enough for government work. And still, a commercial for a product advertising how nobody likes their product.

Now what do I do with my time?
Now that I’m done with my masters paper? I mean, it didn’t actually take up that much time before, but I at least had the constant notion in the back of my mind that I should have certain things filling up my schedule

This sweet old lady came in to the library.
She pulls out this old picture of this dude with a giant badass walrus mustache - her great uncle - who was in charge of building the railroad in Panama in 1902. Evidently he used to tie the ends of this mustache behind the back of his head to the entertainment of the children. Now she is researching for a book she’s writing on him, from the point of view of her mother, who was one of these...

Re: my last post
I suppose her point was that all the books in her store were fiction, and there’s no point in classifying by Dewey if the entire store falls under 813.
But surely enough, if there’s a bizarre, irrelevant way to say something, she’ll find it.
On a related note, I think it’s cute that Dewey Decimal stills exists. Still hangin in there. Like LC’s senile racist uncle....

Dude, just email him and leave.
I did. I’m just hangin out till the 1:30 bus, cause I just missed the 1:00.
I finished what I'm supposed to do at work today.
I leave and catch the bus at 3. But my supervisor is in meetings till 3.
So I’m sitting in my intern enclosure in the basement of Duke’s library flipping between shenanigans and other work while listening to some hillbilly-ass music until I deem it an appropriate time to leave without looking like too much of a boss-dodging slack-ass.

As much as I want “Mad Men” back, I’m with Matthew Weiner on this one. The show is too good to sully with product placement and budget cuts. AMC is really screwing themselves.

I like when portions of my student loans get sold off to different banks every 3 months.
This makes managing my finances a fun and exciting adventure every fiscal quarter.
At least the whole sum is at one bank now instead of being split up. I hope it just stays there, so I only have to keep up with paying it back to one place.

Cyberchondria - the unfounded escalation of concerns about common symptomology based on review of search results and literature online.
Not for me though. I’m a hyperchondriac. I’m fine. I’ll walk it off.

This will make my mother uncomfortable, which pleases me.
This will also make me uncomfortable, and will make my mother more insufferable. This does not please me.
