an observation

From a comment of mine in another journal... my own internal model still equates expression-of-interest = sexual-harrassment, not something I'd easily do. Presumed harmful to the other person until/unless proven otherwise. Consequently, in my life I've only set that model aside and made the first move once... the rest of the time, I've typically waited for the other person(s) to take that risk, or else mutually tip-toed laterally towards each other over the course of months.

Today's worktime pound of... blood

Thanks to an onsite blood drive run by Stanford, I'm a pound lighter now ;-). Even if I didn't realize that the drive was today until 20 minutes before closing, and therefore had to jog a mile over there in the rain, without a jacket (car is in the shop). I was still warmed-up when the nurse took my vital signs, so my pulse and blood pressure were both slightly elevated.

Still, it beats an afternoon of boring meetings... or being run-ragged by JL.
