For posterity, I shall hereby record what was possibly the most surprising and alarming work-related quote of 2009:
During a recent visit to the Pony Barn (home of the curatorial department for which I toil), one of my colleagues showed a few of us around the new configuration of the remodeled office. "Jessie and Grant will move down here behind this wall. Cheryl's desk will move over to the north wall, and this desk will be reserved for the visiting researchers, like Meg and Lynne Cheney."
That's right. Lynne Cheney and I share a desk.
Let us consider the Post-It notes I should leave for her...
