Technically it was like 1:15 but I was waiting him out at 2am. But then he slept til 5:30 and then again til 9 so that wasn't bad.
It’s VIDEO.
I shouldn’t complain though, they actively involve me and genuinely value my input since I’m the only one with an actual business background so I should be tnhankful to be valued. But sometimes they go off on 20 minute tangents about stuff that doesn’t involve me where I just stop paying attention and read CF instead.
Some songs have a great lick to them, but unfortunately you can't really listen to them with any kids or 90% of the people away.

I think I located the coolest job opening yet. Pretty pumped to apply at Valparaiso soon.
But somehow, their course catalog doesn't include an upper-level course in my specialty time. They have History 321 for the Revolutionary era and History 323 for the Civil War, but no History 322 or other course to fill the gap.
If/when they want to interview me, I hope I can work in a Bryce Drew reference. The easiest way is to propose History 322 with the name Ole Miss gives it, "The Emerging Nation," and state that it's only historically appropriate to take something by surprise from Ole Miss.

Also, DMACC is having a thing for adjuncts on Wednesday night. I replied to the first message.
Second one came out yesterday. No surprise, I suppose, that a wave of people don't understand that they don't have to "reply all."

About Cowgirl's sleeping dilemma...I still wake up at about 3 am, due to our middle daughter's sleeping schedule when she was a baby/toddler. She would thrash around in bed until her covers were off, and at about 3 would be cold enough to wake up and cry. She just turned 24.
We put up two older feeders in addition to the two we already had (the older ones leak & attract ants). With 16 "flowers" to choose from, there's much less chasing. And we're getting to see them resting up close, too. I have some begonias on steroids on the deck, and they like sitting on those.
Pretty funny yesterday when two of them chased a red-bellied woodpecker away from his feeder about a foot from the hummer feeder. He's more than 20 times their size!
Couple of days ago, one was sitting on the bar of the feeder & feeding from one of the flowers, and another one was hovering over top of her, pecking at her head. She just kept on feeding while her competitor just kept on pecking (the other three flowers on the feeder were unoccupied at the time). They're very entertaining!
There is one I see at our inlaws all of the time. He spends more time chasing away competitors from their feeder and the neighbor's feeder about 100' away then he does actually using the feeders.
Big powwow this morning on a project we are working on for ISU. Spent all week on it, and put the final touches on to prepare for our 8 am warroom meeting, by coming in about 5 am.
Lately WP and I have been using my phone as an alarm clock, but since I was getting up so early, I set her phone by the bed and promised to call her around 6:30 am for a roust. Checked my clock at around 6:20 and thought I'd give her another 10 before calling. About halfway through our meeting (call it 9:30) I realized that I failed miserably.
After the meeting, I called her. She answered and I said, "Uh, hi." She asked me if I was.

That's what ours were doing. They still chase, but much less aggressively now with more feeder options. You might suggest that your inlaws put up one or two more feeders.
