Highlights from the day:
Hooray for 40% response (all positive) in the first 45 minutes for a research recruitment! I am reminded of an exchange with you-know-who regarding my worries when I'd sent out 10+ invitations and got no response, not even an autoresponder, within 24 hours, so things like this make me smug in retrospect.
( ex-interns, databases, and more. )
So after Purple got un-hella-busy... and he said something including "long-term memory loss", and of course "Amnesia" starts playing in my head, and he mentions getting the Chumbawamba earworm, which leads to me mentioning ( humor involving imagined animal harm, spiders )
( Newsflesh )
One of the tales I was telling Purple involved mentioning the dude who is here called Scotty, but whose name as it is known to the CIA and the IRS is one $REDACTED "Riccochet" $REDACTEDLASTNAME, and I referred to him as "$REDACTED the First". "But I'm $REDACTED the best, aren't I?" he teased.
"No, that would be my best friend forever $REDACTED," I advised.
"Fair enough. $REDACTED the second-best?"
So I had to explain how there was a problem with a plethora of $REDACTEDs, by naming off five of them. He, too, could hear the difference in four out of five, and saw how the lack of distinction could be a problem. (And yeah, he is probably $REDACTED the second-best, but he may not get to know that for a while.)
I showed off my headphone repairs. We groused about weekends and exhaustion. There was an "alas" "a lass" & "likewise" exchange that earned me a high-five.
And thus into Friday.
