I had a weird dream this morning in which I was (watching) one of the Heroes, and a semi-separate dream in which I tried to make out with Nicole while she was drunk.
I was expecting to get to catch up on stuff (processing application materials, SSRN, etc.) today since Prof.B. was at a meeting downtown all day. However, I came in to e-mail which included: [paraphrased] "Please put together a giant packet of course materials to FedEx to this job candidate we're courting." I was really glad when the candidate e-mailed to say he'll be meeting one of our profs for lunch tomorrow so he can pick up the stuff then and we don't have to FedEx it -- 'cause it was a "fancy dancy binder" and two green boxes of course materials.
I said at CAUMC tonight that I'm so "over" talking about work. I think the work that remains is handleable, but I'm definitely looking forward to the weekend and to the Christmas break and to February (when this process should be over; let's not think about how NEG starts in April).
Edit: Hee! An e-mail from a company I ordered something from earlier tonight:
Subject: "Your [Company] Order (might contain gift information)"
Opening text: "PLEASE NOTE: The following message might contain details about gifts from [Company]. If you share this email address and have not recently placed an order with us, please do not read on. We don't want to spoil a surprise."
