bedroom: awakening

The 10am air-raid siren -- scheduled alarm.

Wow, I've been remiss. It seems at least one person actually looks at this from time to time, so I suppose I have an obligation to keep it up :) Nevertheless, after 4 months...

Blogger's redesigned their interface, and it's nicer. Today is my half-birthday.

The UI has decided that it would be a good idea to force thousands of its professional employees to take a five-day involunary furlough for reasons that are rather tenuous. Old news, perhaps, but the impact of it is gonna hit this month, and a lot of people are appropriately riled about making a week's less pay for a full year's work. Meanwhile, the UI has created a system by which 3-month summer-appointed grads can get their full pay (in exchange for involuntary overtime work), but 12-month summer-appointed grads cannot; and the UI is at an apparent loss to explain just how, exactly, a 9-mo appointment followed by a 3-mo appointment isn't equivalent to a 12-mo appointment.
