There are rabid raccoons at work! If I see a raccoon, I am to run the other way. (Though, probably not run? More, back slowly away a bit and then run.)
Also, it is freaking cold! When I was coming home just now, it was 20F* with a wind chill of 8F (-7C, wind chill -13C). (Meanwhile, back home in Cali, it is 78F.) Clearly, I would never survive in the Midwest. So I should probably scratch working for ALA (based in Chicago) off my post-grad possibilities list. *shivers*
*See, now, I can put up with our weird weights and measures (though I do concede that Metric is superior), but the temperatures are what really flip me. Fahrenheit makes absolutely no sense. Seriously, who the hell thinks freezing=32 and boiling=212 is a good idea?
