Today is my 7 year anniversary at my job

do they give sabbaticals?

The employee handbook claims they do.  We will find out after I graduate as I will need 2 months off to study for the Bar Exam.  10-12 hours a day, 7 days a week for 2 months is what I have been told is the absolute minimum I should expect to put in.  Anything less and I shouldn't even bother taking it.

I still make too many mistakes when learning Latin. 

My only comfort is that the "ordinary" Roman 2000 years ago probably made many more. One can see pretty gross grammatical mistakes in Roman grafitti, for instance.

And if one, 2000yrs from now, were to judge English by the graffiti now days you'd come to similar conclusions.

Imagine the internet is still functional or accessible in some form 1000 years from now, and some cyber-archaeologist stumbles upon this site to learn something about history and language.  Unfortunately, the only posts that survive come from Richard.

That must not happen!

My grandfather was an air raid warden during WW2 and after the war he was actively involved in civil defense as part of his job in the heath department including gathering samples from a motoring post that measured radiation from the atomic tests.

Holy crap. I have no idea what a Bar Exam entails but it sounds like it would be intense.

That is a lot of work.

I figured out while sitting in the doctor's office today that my left leg is shorter than my right.  I'm sure most people have this, but it's noticeable enough that it may be one of the reasons for my wonky knee.

I haven't had a (single/or yeah, moved up a tadski/same employer) job longer than 2½ years. Um, plus, not a girlfriend for that long too.
