whee?

I'm still trying to decide whether I like the beer I bought last night. It's not quite what I wanted, but I'm not sure I actually dislike it.

I've spent the day so far getting the post-SOP stuff for 7 candidates sorted out. Which means I wrote 14 letters and 7 emails, dispensed five copies of each of the 7 packets to various folders, printed the HR paperwork and CVs for all 7 people, turned the underneath of my desk into a fire hazard in the course of consolidating folders (the recycling bin and the confidential trash box under my desk are both overflowing, because I can't cram any more paper into the big confidential trash bin), finally struck floor and desk simultaneously fifteen minutes ago, and am now trying to get motivated to write a letter that's going to take me half an hour to get done. I really don't want to, but if I get it done, I can get a major minor headache off my desk next week.

It really ought to be naptime. Maybe it's merely time for a trip downstairs to see if there's anything worthwhile in the vending machine.

What's the beer?

Dogfish Head Raison d'Etre. I think what I really wanted was something like porter, but that was as close as I could get at the liquor store that happened to be handy.

Raison D'etre's better than most porters you can get. I'm scirocco, and I approve of this message, and that beer.

Yes, but if you want porter, it's like wanting an egg salad sandwich and having tuna salad instead.

No vending machine food. Go eat real things.

The vending machine had Caramello bars again, unfortunately. Usually there isn't much of anything in the vending machine on Thursday afternoon because it gets restocked on Mondays.
