Basically around here. I'll still work for the same department. I'm going
to do surveys full time instead of hiring short time staff + do impact

Hmm. `Rick Scott' doesn't crank out much, but feeding the anagram

drastic torch - sounds like a superhero

ditch carrots - maybe that's why I don't like most vegetables

Actually, it seem that you can get a lot of mileage out of
orchid symbolism, because different societies give the flower
different meanings.
Your garden-variety florist will probably have, on a little
poster in the shop, a little one-liner like:
% Orchid: Love and Beauty
Whereas, if you pull aside an Ancient Greek and ask them:
% Orchid (Orchis Species, also called Salep and Satyrion Root) is
% the plant of love. The orchid's name originates from the Greek
% "Orchis", meaning "testicle," and its history is one of lust, greed,
% and wealth. There are nearly 25,000 varieties of Orchids.
% Greek women thought they could control the sex of their unborn
% children with Orchid roots. If the father ate large, new tubers,
% the child would be male; if the mother ate small tubers, the child
% would be female.
But, the Chinese counter with:
% The symbolic significance of the orchid in China is that of
% refinement, friendship, perfection, numerous progeny, all things
% feminine, noble and elegant. By the end of the Yuan dynasty,
% over 600 years ago, orchids had become a favorite subject of
% Chinese paintings.
...which I think I like better than `testicle flower'.

Hello, Mr. Zebra@occs ~/$
(And yes, I know it's miscapitalized and mispunctuated.) This dates
back to when I was first learning about *nix and bash and such, and
found out what $PS1 did. Since then (a period of ~3.5 semesters, I
think) a number of people have seen it and asked me what on earth the
zebra was there for, but only _one_ manageed to STR.
The replacement, for zsh, contains no zebra but isn't properly done
justice to without the numerous ANSI codes; between that and the fact
that I've already described it here, I'll refrain from trying to post
it.
--Jed, who swears that the development of said prompt involved much
consideration of UI issues. Really.

I just wondered, as we've got a few different species, and this is even
further north.

I got lost after "Hello, Mr. Zebra." (Ahh, an earworm I don't mind)

So today at 11 I had a test in Quantum Chem. I wound up having to
leave some problems blank, guess wildly on others, and one in
particular it wasn't until later in the day that I realized how
blazingly wrong I'd been.
At 14:40 I had a spoken test in Japanese where I hope I didn't do too
badly...
And at 20:50 I took a take-home quiz in Organic ][.
And the _real_ finals don't even start for another week and some.
(But aside from that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?)

About which part? That I've never had sex with more than three other
people at a time, or that I've had sex with three other people at a time?
OH, you meant the innocent look. Yes, that was a joke.
