Today I worked on campus, and at lunch I walked with Seabird. I'm thinking of making a collection of people's reactions to my plaid tam:
Tiffy: You sure are getting your Irish on!
Three people on campus: I really like your hat! It's so stylish!
Hardingfelde: That hat is so 70's!
And my new favorite:
Seabird: That hat looks like a circus tent!
She's not wrong, and now I can't unsee it. Here's the photo that made me fall in love with it, which I stole from the seller's site:
Cue circus music. Ah well, maybe I'm a dork, but 50% of the comments indicate that I'm a
stylish dork. And now it's a
protest hat, with the little
red hat pin on it. Of course, I already have a protest hat, and my neighbor said she might be able to get me a full-sized red tasseled hat. Someday I will blog about something other than my hat, but right now I'm kind of obsessed with it.
Some
ring-necked ducks.
This photo just killed me.
Check it out! A two-headed swan! (Just kidding, of course.)
I was planning to go home and relax tonight, but then there was a
Union meeting at 6:00, so I was going to go home, get into play clothes, and log in from home. Then another email came saying oops, it was at 5:30, so I sighed and stayed on campus. I got to the meeting place not long before 5:30, but the
Leprechaun had not started the meeting yet, so the organizer (who was supposed to be in person but had to go home for some reason) sent a new link, so when we few in-person attendees finally logged into the
Zoom meeting, there was nobody else there. The Leprechaun had forgotten his phone, so the other person had to notify him about this. We finally got it together, and the organizer had promised the meeting wouldn't last more than an hour, but it was dragging on, so at 6:30 I took my leave. If I didn't catch the shuttle back to my car, the next one was half an hour later. So now I am exhausted. I'll try to get to bed on time tonight, for once.
