My friend, Annette, commented on my 16 Sep. post, Good news, bad news just a bit ago. When I went to read it I ended up reading the post, too.
Kind of funny. I had to go back to my Student Services lawyer again today. He sent a letter on 3 Sep. blah blah. Bottom line: Barr Real Estate (perhaps?) is stopping payment on the months old check and issuing a new check to be delivered to the lawyer’s office “so we all know it got delivered.” It’d be really sweet if I got that before Austin. 
“Slow down, sonny.”
I’m excited about Austin! 4-9 Nov. ASIS&T Annual Meeting. Lots of things to do before then though. Including…
…so Annette commented on my post where I wrote about my welcome letter to Beta Phi Mu, the aforementioned post [was named "Good news, bad news" for a reason]. [To Annette: I'm glad you finally found that post. I'm looking forward to seeing you Saturday. I miss you! Are you bringing your man?] To everyone else: Annette, one of my very first GSLIS buddies, is an on campus CAS student like me, but she’s pursuing other things and they have her out of the department this semester. 
I also like her man Ben, who works on campus but is a distance student in the department because of work/travel demands. So I usually only “see” my man Ben mediated by chat.
So Saturday is our Beta Phi Mu induction/bloodletting/spanking/thing.
Our after-luncheon speaker will be Valerie Hotchkiss, Head of The Rare Book & Manuscript Library and Professor of Medieval Studies at the UIUC…
I’m having luncheon on Saturday, thank you very much.
I’m getting a haircut tomorrow probably [prep for ASIS&T, and I need one] and shaving on Sat. morning. Being “cleaned up” is not helping with the costume part for Saturday night, though. Oh well, I think I have it figured out. And a costume is perhaps less lame than no costume, no?
Oh, one more thing ’bout my friend Annette. She’s the other co-moderator of Drinking GSLIS this year. Actually, she’s the only co-moderator at the moment, but that only highlights how unoften we see each other lately.
