Things to be thankful for

It’s November, it’s cold (the kind of cold you don’t notice at first but that gets into your bones nonetheless), it’s rainy, SEPTA’s regional rail trains are all running late because it’s rainy and there are leaves on the tracks, there’s way too much to do before the end of this term at Drexel, and some of the finer mysteries of faceted thesaurus construction are  still eluding me.

However:

I don’t have to spend Thanksgiving weekend grading papers. I will never again have to spend Thanksgiving weekend grading papers. This, alone, makes up most if not all of the above.

Also, I just got a maddeningly sticky bit of CSS to work out, and with any luck, I’ll be pointing to my final project for the web design class before too long. So, yes: there are definitely things to be thankful for, even in a month of crappy weather and looming deadlines.
