1. Decided not to get a haircut this week but rather to sleep in the extra hour until 8:15am. This was a good choice, both because it helped me get through the day and because I'm losing an hour of potential sleep tonight due to Daylight Saving Time, ugh. (Like, even if you accept DST as a reasonable concept, there is no excuse ( Read more... )

2. Read some ( Read more... )

Things done since 2:30pm:

1. Worked 4-8pm at Not the IRS. I had my first tax client today!
