I got called an idiot. No, really, that’s a good thing. I asked my boss if she thought my job was in danger from the recession and she told me that I am an idiot and not to worry – I am important enough to be secure 😃 ETA, sorry it was more than 25 words – needed explanation. ---

One other thing: The Office [Ron](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=495672) (whose first name really is Ron) was in & out this morning and in & out this afternoon, when I was in a meeting with the Big Boss, so I didnt have to deal with his shit. He is the only worker who cannot grasp the concept of not bugging me the first week of every month when I have to deal with the collecting and distributing the rents. ---

Um…I don’t know. It must be happening later on. I just wanted to say that we use this as an icebreaker at the dinner table. What’s the worst thing and the best thing that happened to you today? It always leads to interesting discussions. ---

I got a good grade on my Public Management group project, and the part that I did got only positive remarks. Go me! Also, I found out that my professor graded our earlier paper Canadian style, so what I thought was a B was actually an A. (Apparently Canadians use a wider range of the scale than Americans.) Go me x2! ---

Optional homework as of Tuesday became mandatory homework circa Tuesday night. I finished it 5 minutes before class. Success! I had an extra-credit quiz in Dynamics. Did poorly but eh, it’s all free points anyway. I finished all my Thermodynamics HW correctly.
